2014 Audi R8 V10 Plus Quattro S Troni
Stasis Supercharged Super Car
The Audi R8 has always been the starter Supercar, with just its toe in the water till ` LP560-4 lump with and
additional 25 HP over the standard 5.2 V10 for a total of 550hp / 398 lb-ft of torque. Then not for the faint of
heart, the engineers from Stasis bolted on a Supercharger that brings the car to 730hp at the crank. This brings
the engine performance to within a couple HP of the Ferrari F12. Stasis claims 0-60 times in sub 3 seconds. This
Audi R8 has come form a local collector with a large collection of the worlds most desirable supercars, and always
been cared for as such. All the work to this car has been done at the Audi dealer in conjunction with the Stasis
team of engineers that flew out to perform the modifications. For added sound a full GMG sport exhaust system was
installed. The R8 Plus comes from the factory with firmer springs and dampeners inspired by the R8 GT edition.
The biggest change to the model from its predecessors is the edition of the 7-speed dual clutch automatic, called
the S Tronic. This Formula One style transmission put the power to the ground with lightning fast gearshifts up
and beautifully sounding perfectly matched downshifts. This alone is a $7800 option on standard R8’s. This car
has a special order paint package for $2500 of solid non-metallic paint. The total for Supercharger installation
at the Audi dealer was $46182 plus another $8000 for the GMG exhaust system. The Plus version comes standard
with the Carbon-ceramic brakes, full carbon fiber interior. This car is in the super car stratosphere with its
performance and style, no question about it.

Adam Carolla is world's the least helpful test drive co-pilot
Mon, 16 Jun 2014If you were going to test drive a new car, who would you want to take with you? Your spouse? A friend? Maybe an automotive journalist? Well take it from us: there's one of us riding shotgun just about every time we go to drive anything, and we're not all we're cracked up to be.
How about a celebrity comedian? Well, that largely depends on which comedian we're talking about here. Some - say, Jerry Seinfeld or Jay Leno, for example - might be more helpful than others, being more or less schooled in the finer points of the modern automobile. Adam Carolla might seem like he belongs on that list too, but in this latest video for a friends at Edmunds.com, the one-time host of The Car Show on Speed TV seems bent on being as comedically intrusive as possible. Which may be funny, but helpful? Not so much. See what we mean in the video below, and the next time you go to test drive a new car, you just might find the world's most popular podcast host climbing in with you.
European RS6 Avant ad features diesel-hybrid R18 racecar
Sat, 10 Aug 2013We'd be just as happy to casually walk back to an RS6 Avant as anybody, but Audi's commercial for its fastest ass-hauling wagon takes casual to another level. The RS6 isn't even seen until more than two-thirds of the way through the 46-second German commercial, but Audi seduces us long before that with the R18 E-tron Quattro diesel-hybrid endurance racer juxtaposed into scenes of everyday life. Since when can you be picked up at the airport or drive peacefully to a riverbed in a racecar?
The German automaker cashed in on childhood dreams its nearly flawless endurance-racing pedigree big time for the advertisement - and it works, even though we realize the RS6 drinks gasoline and isn't a hybrid. It does have Quattro four-wheel drive, however. But the commercial makes us want the beautifully pragmatic long-roof with 550 horsepower all the more, especially since Audi currently has no plans to bring it to the US. Please say it ain't so!
Even if the US doesn't get an RS6 Avant, we're happy to indulge in commercials like this. Be sure to watch it below.
VW Group to split brands under four holding companies
Tue, Jun 16 2015The Volkswagen Group is planning a tremendous shift in its internal structure that will decentralize operations by splitting its 12 brands into four different holding companies. Here's the breakdown. Things will be split logically, considering the inter-sharing of parts, platforms, and engines. The Volkswagen brand, Seat, and Skoda make up a passenger vehicle division led by former BMW man Herbert Diess. Audi, which is tightly intertwined with Lamborghini and motorcycle manufacturer Ducati, will be managed by current Audi exec Rupert Stadler. Porsche and Bentley, which are already quite close, will be joined by Bugatti and run by Matthias Mueller. Finally, a commercial vehicles division will include Volkswagen Commercial, Scania, and Man. Former Daimler exec Andreas Renschler will take care of the big vehicles. The massive move, according to Automotive News Europe, is part of an internal VAG effort to move away from the structure established by ousted Chairman Ferdinand Piech, who favored a compact, but highly centralized, management structure to oversee the independent actions of the company's brands. Criticism of Piech's arrangement stemmed from the company's slow responses to changes in the market, ANE reports. The new structure should make for a more efficient, streamlined company that's better able to make crucial decisions. What are your thoughts? Should VAG decentralize, or did Piech have the right idea? Have your say in Comments.
