Video of the Day: The Sights and Sounds of the Audi Sport quattro S1

[gallery link="none" columns="1" size="full" ids="92335"] photo: Daytona43 via YouTube We all know the sounds of the legendary Group B and the Audi Sport quattro. That fire breathing monster with the unique sound...that's the car that really brought Audi to my attention. I grew up in the South where the predominant sound of power were V8 muscle cars. I won't blather on so turn up the volume and revel in the 1-2-4-5-3 which Audi describes the 5-cylinder as producing that distinctive rhythm ...

Video of the Day: C7 RS 6 Avant vs C8 RS 6 Avant Drag Race with Daniel Abt

[gallery link="none" columns="1" size="full" ids="64046"] words: Bill, video: Daniel Abt If you've ever wondered how the older C7 stacked up to the new C8 RS 6 Avant, wonder no more. In Daniel Abt's (yes, that Daniel Abt) latest YouTube video, he pits the two super wagons against each other. Thankfully, there are English subtitles for those who don't speak German. While the C7 has a lot of miles on it, it's been upgraded with ABT power as has its younger sibling, the C8. Both put out about 700...

[gallery link="none" columns="1" size="full" ids="58701"] words: Bill, video: Stateside Super Cars There are two things I love about this video: it's nothing but Audi and there is no music soundtrack.

In this video by Stateside Super Cars, you get to see many different Audi models from over the years take on the legendary Nurburgring...from a drifting C8 RS...

[gallery link="none" columns="1" size="full" ids="53362"] words: Bill, video: carwow It's not often you see full size sedans, well at least full size luxury super sedans, go up against each other in a drag race. Mat does just that in this latest video from carwow. The Flying Spur with the huge 635hp W12 lines up against its platform mate, the S8 with the 571 twin-turbo V8. Doesn't sound like a fair fight but the Bentley weighs in at 5,373lbs versus 4,916 for the S8; a difference of 457 pou...

Video of the Day: AMG GT 63S vs Audi RS 7

[gallery link="none" columns="1" size="full" ids="48571"] words: Bill, video: carwow You know the drill by now with carwow...drag race, rolling drag, and brake test from 70mph. The AMG has more power, more torque, and it sounds pretty darn good. The RS 7 is down in hp, torque, is slightly lighter, and sounds muted but it's also £50,000 less than the AMG. Plus I think it looks a lot better, in my humble opinion. [gallery link="none" columns="1" size="full" ids="48572"] How will our h...

Tiff Needell in a twin-turbo V8 Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S takes on a similar powered Audi RS 6 Avant. It's a little wet but both are all wheel drive while the RS 6 Avant is slightly heavier. They run two drags with one model taking a commanding win and in the second, takes a slim win. So who won? Watch below...

This RS2 Easter Egg Video from Audi USA is so RAD it Hurts.

Remember that Avantastic video Audi USA created to prep us all for the RS 6 Avant? It was great. We totally agree. BUT, did you know they also made another video that heralded the RS2? It's like what Stranger Things is to the 80s... but for the 90s... and monster Avants in the right side up... not monster D&D creeps in the upside down. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bvyU_DlU1r0

There hasn't been any official word of the power plant for the new RS 7 but we wouldn't be surprise if it shared the twin turbo 4.0 V8 of the Porsche Panamera. It sure sounds like it from the video. Also noticed are the larger fender bulges...making an already wide A...
