Abandoned Audi RS5 gets vandalized


During a recent flood in Surrey, UK, the driver of this Audi RS5 left the car for several days on a flooded road. We don't know if the car was stolen but there's something sure: it has seen better moments!

Jon Olsson's new winter transport is badass


Jon Olsson is a famous pro-skier but to the petrolheads he's famous also because he drives in extreme conditions several supercars. If you don't know his previous rides, he used to drive in the snow a Gallardo, a Murcielago Superveloce and also a tuned R8.

The HMS Audi RS6 sounds like porn


Recently I had the opportunity to see the new Audi RS6 C7 on the road and I was quite disappointed because the sound of the 4.0L V8 biturbo engine doesn't give justice to the remarkable performance. Let's face it, nowadays with the strict rules of the CO2 emissions and the downsizing of the engine, it's not easy for the car makers to develop a proper exhaust, that's why the market of the aftermarket components has become a great business for the companies.

Audi R8 V10 races two bikers


How many times you heard the phrase " More money than sense " ? Well, this is another example of someone that has no clue of what he's doing. This guy starts to race two bikers as they overtake him at high speed in the brazilian highway, and of course he does the same with his Audi R8 V10 to keep up!

Audi R8 catches on fire


A brand new Audi R8 V10 Spyder caught fire for unknown reason in Lyon, the poor attemps to extinguish the fire weren't enough to save the expensive supercar and at a certain point people left the lonely Audi in the car park as the flames get bigger.

Audi R8 V10 on ADV.1 Wheels

The Audi R8 V10 is itself a very good looking supercar, but with a few changes it can really become a badass vehicle. This modified R8 is covered with a matte purple wrap, carbon fibre side blades and side mirrors and with a set of ADV.1 wheels. To make it even more perfect, inside we find a 6-Speed manual gearbox! This configuration is truly awesome, check out below the full gallery.

DJ Afrojack drifts the R8 V10



Do you remember DJ Afrojack? If you don't know him for his music, then you must remember him because he crashed his brand new Ferrari 458 in less than 1 hour. Finally he has decided to take some driving lesson and learn to drive and countersteer properly a supercar even with the weather is not good for the grip of the tires. It would haven't been easy with a 4WD Audi R8 V10, but luckily the rain storm has allowed some sliding and also to understand the handling of a powerful car when the worse could happen in a matter of a second.

Audi R8 Donuts!



4WD means no fun? I don't think so, even if the power goes through 4 wheels you can still do crazy stuff like donuts and drifts, just look at this Audi R8 having some fun in a car park.

8 years old girl drives an Audi A6



It may happen to see in a car park a teenager learning to drive without a driving license but with the supervision of an adult, but this time you will see a driving lesson that has exceeded every limit. This video is utterly wrong and dangerous, because a russian mommy and daddy let their 8 years old (yes, eight!) daughter to drive their Audi A6 up to 100km/h without the seatbelt, with the high volume of the music (which causes distraction) and the road conditions that don't allow the best grip of the tyres.

Audi RS4 Avant - The ultimate paintball duel!



What do you think about playing paintball without being covered of paint? Sounds impossible, you would say. It's possible you have a big aircraft hangar and a couple of cars with a big paintball rifle on the hood! This promotional video made by Audi shows a couple of brand new RS4 Avants involved in a paintball duel and you can see them moving around and using their weapons such as the rifles on the hood, the granades and oil slicks.

Shmeemobile R8 V10 Donuts!



When your tyres are over and you have to change them, there's only one thing that comes up to your mind before to drive to the tyre shop: DONUTS! My friend Shmee150 shares with us the moment in which he burns the tyres of his noisy Audi R8 V10 Spyder! Although it's a 4WD, it doesn't look so difficult to spin, it looked like fun!

Crash: Audi R8

The belgian football player Guillaurme Gillet had a bad day with his matte black Audi R8 4.2.  Around 9am on his way to the training centre in Neerpede, he has lost the control of the car with the result of a crash with many damages in the front of the car, but hopefully Gillet hasn't reported any injuries. The cause of the crash was certainly the low temperature of the tarmac, even with these conditions and cold tires, the legendary Quattro system can't do much.

Audi R8 on fire!



Bad news coming from India. Recently, during the annual supecar rally held in Mumbai, an Audi R8 had a malfunction of the engine caused by too much revving and probably mixed with the hot weather, the result is a fire in the engine bay that has literally melted the car. Luckily, the passenger and the driver didn't suffered any injuries. Here below you see what remains of the R8.

NATS Toyota GT-R8

By watching this car, it's legit to have a doubt. Is it a Porsche? Is it an Audi? Is it a Toyota?


This project comes from a japanese student of Nihon Automobile College (NATS), and it's a rebodied Toyota GT-86 with the look Audi R8, but I have to say that to me, the front is quite similar to a Porsche Cayenne. Absolutely ricer modification, I don't find any difference between this, and a typical rebodied Audi TT to look like its bigger brother, the R8.

A good way to sell an R8

If you want to promote with success a product that you want to sell, probably the easiest way is to show a girl with it. And that's the idea of an Ebay seller that is selling for 130.000$ a 2008 Audi R8 V8 (GT?), and if you look the pictures of the car, you may notice a sexy girl that is posing in lingerie.. but I'm afraid that she's not included with the car. Indeed, that sexy touch in the auction has attracted over 20.000 visitors in less than a week. The girl is posing on a public place with the R8; if she's the girlfriend of the owner, I hope that the interior of the car gets cleaned for the new one.

Audi S3 Crashes at Nürburgring

You know, the Nürburgring is one of the most dangerous racetracks in the world. I have driven there and it's an awesome experience, but if you don't have enough driving skills, you have to be very careful. To me, one of the most tricky parts of the track is certainly Brünnchen, where most of the drivers crash because they come too fast and with the understeer they finish against the barriers. This corner this time has claimed a white Audi S3, the accident has been so brutal that the car has been lifted from the ground.

The old school Rally sound



When it comes to rally, we can't forget the golden era of this motorsport with the legendary Group B and the crazy rally cars. The Audi Quattro Sport was certainly one of the most fast and important cars of Group B and nowadays it's very rare to see. Spotter 19Bozzy92 had the luck to film an S1 during a rally event held in North Italy. The noise of the 5 cylinders turbocharged engine is pure music for enthusiasts, turn up the volume!

Subaraudi 5-Series

A very confused man is selling on Ebay UK his modified 1993 Subaru Impreza WRX. Probably he was looking for a sporty japanese car with the prestige of a german sedan, but the result is certainly a ricer mix of 3 popular cars; a 1993 Subaru Impreza with the back of the 2003 BMW 5-Series E60 and the front of the 2005 Audi A4 B7.I'm very perplexed by the way the owner is describing the car as " Lovely lovely " and that there are currently 4 bids for this " thing ".
