Years of soot and dirt accumulation in areas around your house is not a glorious sight to behold. There isn’t no magic spell to make them all go away, but the next best thing is probably sold at the nearest hardware or your favorite online retailer. Yes, we’re talking about pressure washing.But isn’t power and pressure washing only used for the hardcore industrial stuff? No, not necessarily. Although pressure washers are valuable industrial cleaning tools, you can actually use one to clean your ...

As one of the most versatile automobile manufacturers today, Audi’s complex history dates all the way back to 1885.  Several private investors were involved in the formation and acquisition of the company in the late 1890s.  It was not until 1932 that were was stability in terms of company structure.  During this year, Audi merged with Horch, DKW, and Wanderer to form a company called Auto Union.  Though this company operated under one name, many felt that the models had features of all four ori...

Side steps come in all different styles and levels of quality. They’re even available on base model 4x4s, Jeeps, and other trucks and SUVs, usually made out of a thin aluminium or a composite plastic...

Talk about excess! Bentley dropped today a new variant of their Bentayga SUV, and it’s a bit confusing. The variant in question is called the Bentayga Speed and it’s a super deluxe S...

Ever since we were kids, we had a fascination with speed. Our fascination with speed came in many forms. We ate our food fast, we would do our homework fast (just to hurry up and get done with it), a...

The partnership between Mercedes-AMG andCigarette Racing is legendary. Every time AMG comes up with a new supercar the boat makers release a special model celebrating that car. And so now it is time for a speedboat version of the AMG Project One, and it’s calledCigarette Racing 515 Project ONE. Right now we only have a teaser drawing of this magnificent thing to drool over, but the wait is not going to be long sinceCigarette Racing 515 Project ONE will be revealed next week atthe Miami Boat Show (February 15, 2018). Judging by what we can see, the boat tries to replicate the unique look of the hypercar with a special paint work featuring a silver base and black accents. As the sea-faring...

ABT Sportline is coming to this year’s Geneva Motor Show with a hotted-up version of Audi’s RS5 Coupe. To look at it you would thinkABT Audi RS5-R is a totally different animal than the standard car. But in fact the upgrades are pretty subtle in nature.This car just naturally look awesome. In the engine departmentABT Audi RS5-R does get a pretty good upgrade, but it’s nothing mind-blowing. The tuner has upped the output of the2.9 liter biturbo V6 motor by 80 horsepower and boosted the torque by 90 Nm. That means the RS5 now has 530 horsepower and 690 Nm of torque to play with. And that means it can sprint form 0 to 100 km/h in3.6 seconds as opposed to the standard model which completes t...

Whenever there is a new Audi aounced, it is a given that a tricked-out ABT version will follow it. And so here is your 2018ABT Audi RS3, presenting an upgrade package that fits both the Sportback (hatchback) and Sedan versions of the hot little Ingolstädter. A single glance at the newABT Audi RS3 is enough to know it scores very high on the sex appeal index. But the upgrades devised for this car aren’t just cosmetic. They are designed to improve the high-performance Audi’s ride and handling, as well as its general driving fun, and at the same time give it cooler, more aggressive looks as a sort of bonus. This is best evident in the way the tuner has employed theheight adjustable KW...

We really did not think that something like the Maybach G650 Landaulet could possibly have a rival, but we were wrong. In our defense that is such a niche vehicle, no one would be inclined to invest in making such a thing… no one except the eccentric visionary Afzal Kahn, it tus out. He has just teased theKahn Flying Huntsman 6×6 Soft Top which is a direct attempt at theLandaulet’s life. On the face of it comparing a wonky Land Rover, which is what Kahn Flying Huntsman 6×6 Soft Top is based on, to the unique Mercedes G-Class, which is what theMaybach G650 is based on, seems idiotic. Of course the Mercedes is a superior product. But you see, the Hunstman is no ordinary Land Rover. It...

Not wanting to jut hand over the competition to the rivals, and also to avoid being hated on by half the population of the world’s football watching crowd, Audi decided to give FC Barcelona footballers brand-new cars as well. A week or so ago they delivered a fleet of the latest models to Real Madrid players. This ought to level the playing field. It appears, though,FC Barcelona players have less extravagant taste than their Madrid-based rivals. Their chosen Audis are less diverse, and most have gone for the more practical models than the really sporty ones. Lionel Messi, Luis Suárez and Gerard Piqué selected the Audi RS 6 Avant, while five other,including Ousmane Dembélé, Sergi ...

As if the mega-rich superstars ofReal Madrid FC needed a free car, team sponsor Audi delivered a fleet of brand-spanking-new models to them to drive in the new season. The players must be under some kind of obligation to be seen in pubic in these Audis, as they normally would not drive them, what with all the exotics in their garages. Take Cristiano Ronaldo, for example. The dude has multiple Ferraris and Lamborghinis, and recently bought a Bugatti Chiron. A pre-facelift Audi RS7 probably doesn’t float his boat, even considering the fact that most other players got lesser models! [embedded content] While 14 of the players went for theAudi Q7e-tronquattro plug-in hybrid model so...

With the 2017 title under his belt, Lewis Hamilton is placing himself firmly in the company of the greatest Formula 1 drivers in history. That’s not to say he’s necessarily near the top of that list just yet, but he’s certainly part of a ver...

Creating some buzz for the UK launch of the new Kia Stinger, the Korean car maker dispatched three of the range-topping model toNewquay airport runway. The task was to show off the acceleration of the V6-powered gran turismo and try to hit ...

It’s a rite of passage for all big-time tuners to come up with some sort of over the top, ultra-deluxe upgrade package for one of Mercedes-Benz vans. This time we take a look atTopCar Mercedes V-Class Infeo, a new product from Russia whic...

As R8 fans are well aware, the new generation Mk2 version of the super car was released with only the V10 engine. That had to do with econmoy conces and the V8 not making much sense cost-wise. But if the V10 is just too much for you, do not despair because there is a newAudi R8 V6 in the works which will be cheaper and relatively frugal. To be released next year as an entry-level model, th...

From early 2018 customers in the UK can expect the launch of the new Audi A8. Set to be one of the most technologically-advanced cars in its segment, the 2018 A8 comes with refreshed design, autonomous technologies, andMHEV drivetrain electrification across the range. It tries to undercut the competition by offering better value for money. We’re not sure if that’s the right strategy in the l...

In a fairly extravagant ceremonyin Neuburg last night Audi reveled their new Formula E contender. Backed by ABT and with full support of the company, theAudi e-tron FE04 is set to take the brand into the future of motorsport and, hopefully, repeat the success they had in Le Mans only a few years ago. The development ofAudi e-tron FE04 and the subsequent technical work that is required to k...

Back in 1965, the Ford Mustang was one of the coolest cars in America, probably the car of the moment. Everyone talked about Ford’s new sports car and the Dearbo based carmaker was on its way to sell 400,000 units in the first production year, a lot more than the initial estimates of 100,000 units (they sold those cars in the first three months). It was the car every teenager in the United Stat...

That’s right. The R8, that old beacon of stability and common sense in the world of supercars has gone and become a senseless drifter! Actually, no. What it’s done is ditch the four-wheel-drive for a limited series of 999 cars called theAudi R8 V10 RWS. So Audi thinks only around a thousand people would want a rear-drive R8. But if this car’s fancier, prettier, sexier sister, the Lamborghini ...

This year’s Frankfurt Motor Show saw the retu of an icon. Every petrolhead above 20 knows and admires a generation or two of theAudi RS4 Avant, and there is a new one for 2018 and it seems as great as ever. Here’s a station wagon with a huge boot and 450 horsepower. Now THAT is a proper family car! The new 2018 Audi RS4 Avant is powered by a2.9 TFSI engine with 331 kW (450 hp) and 600 Nm o...
