Video of the Day: German Muscle Versus American Muscle

[gallery link="none" columns="1" size="full" ids="73470"] words: Bill, photo: carwow What happens when you pit a mid engine C8 Corvette Stingray V8 against a mid engine Audi R8 V10 and a rear engine Porsche 911 twin turbo flat 6? A fun drag race. The R8 is a Rear Wheel Series one so obviously it's rear wheel drive as are the Corvette and 911. So will American brawn take out the Germans? You may or may not be surprised. Either way, it'll be fun. Watch the video below. [embed]https://yout...

Find of the Day: 1990 Audi V8 quattro

[gallery link="none" columns="1" size="full" ids="73458"] words: Bill, photos: Jeff Lavery The Audi V8...yes there was a model just called the Audi V8. Built between 1988 and 1993, this was Audi's flagship and the 1st one to have a V8. They ran in DTM and won back-to-back driver's titles in 1990 and 1991 with Hans-Joachim Stuck and Frank Biela. There were 2 V8s available in the D1: the 3.6L and the more familiar 4.2L. This one is a 3.6 and is a virtual time capsule. Here's the ad: [gallery link=...

[gallery link="none" columns="1" size="full" ids="72508"] words: Bill, photos: Trever Andrew Nogaro Blue is one of those colors that looks great on anything but especially better on an RS model. How about an RS model like this RS 5 with 900hp with the capability of up to 1600hp AND a manual swap?

Find of the Day: 2008 Audi R8 6-Speed Manual

[gallery link="none" columns="1" size="full" ids="70391"] words: Bill, photos: Nate Morley The Audi R8. These days when you mention 'Audi R8', people immediately think V10 but back in the mid-2000s, it meant a much anticipated Audi supercar...with a V8. A lot of people scoff at the R8 V8 but the R8 was a game changer. Heck, even Tony Stark drove one. Combine that sonorous 4.2 V8 with the snick-snick of a manual and you have perfection. This Phantom Black beauty has all those and then some. Her...

Find of the Day: 2004 Nogaro Blue Audi S4

[gallery link="none" columns="1" size="full" ids="70018"] words: Bill, photos: The Eclectic Garage When the B6 S4 burst onto the scene, it was the first time a V8 was stuffed into the B-chassis. Enthusiasts were enamored with the throaty sounds coming out of the dual exhaust. We were fortunate enough to get a sedan, a wagon (Avant), and a convertible version. The 4.2 V8 was carried over to the B7 generation but then, it was gone. This one is a B6 S4 sedan in what some people would say is the ul...

Find of the Day: One-Owner 13K Mile 2004 Nogaro Blue Audi S4

[gallery link="none" columns="1" size="full" ids="67293"] words: Bill, photos: ntkmotorcollector via PCarMarket I know, I know...it seems like I have a Nogaro Blue fetish as several of our latest Finds of the Day are Nogaro Blue. I swear, I'm not actively looking for this enticing shade of blue but they keep falling into my lap so... Whatever you think of the color though, this one is compelling. The B6/B7 S4s were offered with the throaty 4.2 V8 and combined with a 6sp manual, was a great (soun...

Find of the Day: 2009 Audi R8 6sp…RWD

[gallery link="none" columns="1" size="full" ids="64068"] words: Bill, photos: Jay Dub I love the MK1 R8 especially the V8 model. I know the V10 is the lustful one to get but the V8 will always have a spot in my heart especially with that gated manual. But one thing both the V8 and V10 has is quattro. For years and into the 2nd gen, quattro was always standard until the RWS model was revealed in 2017. Some though looked at other RWD supercars and wished their MK1 R8 were the same. Take this 2009...

Find of the Day: 2014 Audi Sprint Blue RS 5 Cabriolet

[gallery link="none" columns="1" size="full" ids="61261"] words: Bill, photos: Jim Newhouse Ok...this is one Audi that I knew existed but have never seen in the flesh and that's a shame...because in this color combination (or any other one), it's beautiful. I spent time in an S5 coupe with the same interior and let me tell you, it was a pain to keep clean but this one looks brand new.

Video of the Day: A Love Story Turns Into A Monster Mashup

[gallery link="none" columns="1" size="full" ids="59516"] words: Bill, video: Hagerty As the video starts, Ryan reminisces about his 4000 and growing up skiing and lusting after the four rings. We walk (drive) down memory lane as he takes us through an abbreviated history of the quattro through the early rally days and ultimately, the legendary Group B. But then the story takes a violent turn and a monster emerges...the meek 4000 meets its European brother in the form of an Audi 80 with a 4.2 ...

Find of the Day: 2005 Audi S4 Avant

[gallery link="none" columns="1" size="full" ids="57843"] words: Bill, photos: Bring A Trailer Honestly, I don't go looking for Avants...they just fall into my lap(top). Imola Yellow, Nogaro Blue, and now a Moro Blue Avant. This has to be one of my favorite generations: a B6 V8 manual S4 Avant. This one ticks off all the boxes and it's blue. Here's the ad: This 2005 Audi S4 Avant is finished in Moro Blue Pearl Effect over Silk Nappa leather and is powered by a 4.2-liter V8 paired with a six-spee...

[gallery link="none" columns="1" size="full" ids="57169"] words: Bill, video: Carfection New versus old, youth versus elder...what's better? Vicki Butler-Henderson and Henry Catchpole from Carfection try to answer this question by pitting a MKI R8 V8 against a MKII R8 V10 performance. They both agree that the original is still a great looking vehicle and drives well but what of the next generation? Which one would either want to go home with? Watch below and let's all agree...the MKI R8 wa...

Video of the Day: Audi 80 Twin-Turbo V8 vs Lamborghini Gallardo…in Rallycross

[gallery link="none" columns="1" size="full" ids="54342"] words: Bill, video: TH-Motorsport What is one of the last things you would think you'd see at a rallycross? Audi aplenty but how about a Lamborghini? A Gallardo to be exact. There is no description to this YouTube video except for the 80 being a twin-turbo V8. It readily handles the AWD Gallardo. You have to give it the Lambo driver for having fun with his Gallardo...I mean if you could, wouldn't you? Enjoy the video below. [embe...

Find of the Day: Bagged 1992 Audi V8 quattro Turbo 6 Speed

[gallery link="none" columns="1" size="full" ids="53946"] words: Bill, photos: V8 D11 The Audi V8 (D1) is one of those vehicles that, while innovative, is mostly forgotten in the US. The 1st car from Audi to use a V8, it was also the 1st Audi to combine quattro with an automatic transmission. The Audi V8 quattro DTM won back-to-back DTM Driver's Title with Hans-Joachim Stuck and Frank Biela in 1990 and 1991. I personally only know one person who owned an Audi V8 but I'm sure there are plenty of ...

Find of the Day: 2004 Nogaro Blue S4 Avant 6sp

[gallery link="none" columns="1" size="full" ids="48590"] words: Bill, photos: dog2bert There are a few things about Audi that I really love: the Avant and Nogaro Blue are just a couple.

Video of the Day: Nardo R8 Rebuild…a Labor of Love

[gallery link="none" columns="1" size="full" ids="47120"] words: Bill, photos: Tavarish, Erik Dietz, George Achorn If you had the very last manual-transmission R8 ever built, you would probably baby it and park it in a museum-esque garage but not Erik Dietz. He bought the 2015 'Nardo R8' brand new and never looked back. It's been to 48 states, 22 countries, and has seen 150+ track days. Over those years, it racked up 143,000 miles. Garage queen it is not. Then tragedy struck...Erik's fia...

Find of the Day: 1990 Pearl White Audi V8

[gallery link="none" columns="1" size="full" ids="35079"] words: Bill, photos: Bourguignon Classics When was the last time you saw an Audi V8? When was the last time you saw one with only 218km (135 miles)? It was Audi's first car powered by a V8 hence the simple name of V8. As the name implies, it's powered by a 3.6L V8 (the 4.2L were in models built from 1991 to 1993). Hans-Joachim Stuck and Frank Biela drove the competition model V8 to back to back DTM titles in 1990 and 1991. [gallery link="...
