Twelve Cylinders for the new Audi Q7 TDI

Whats not to love about Diesel? Talk about big, quick and well, if the earth ever stops spinning, we now have a choice between the Bently Continental GT, Bugatti Veyron and now the Audi Q7 to get it restarted!

2006 HPA Volkswagen Jetta RGT – Performance Tuner Road Test – Motor Trend

The VW Jetta as it should be. 4motion with a blown 3.2L V6 (from the VW R32).

0-100 in 4 seconds

400m in 12.2 seconds

Quite respectable times and it stops like little else seen before. Of course its doubtful that it would be made as a production car as seen here, but what is shown is an awesome potential!

New German Car 157mpg – Only $11,000 Euros

Loremo LS is powered by a… …turbo diesel engine that will reach a speed of 100 mph and the GT model will reach up to 135 mph with a 0 to 60 mph acceleration of 9 seconds.

The power of Diesel coming to a decently speedy and rediculously efficient car. 157mpg is just insane! Makes my 50mpg out of Sooty seem somewhat pathetic.

New Audi R8 Production Car Photos

Fourtitude has caught some great new photos of the new Audi R8 production car going through testing at Nurburging, late last week. Two different R8’s were actually spied one wearing a matte black finish with fashionable white polka dot’s and the other in a light silver blue much like the Le Mans concept car’s color.

Yummy! It looks like Audi are making one of their concept cars a reality. Finally looks like we might be in a for a treat with the R8. Although I doubt Australia will be lucky enough to ever see this puppy hit our shores.

Hatchback hate: Lamborghini chased – National – smh.com.au

Silly little swift. Kinda feel sorry for the poor bugga in the Lamborghini though, I certainly understand his agitation at these little gits in their tarted up runabouts with big nasty stereo’s. It must not be a nice feeling to have someone want to ram you. (An accident/ramming even Suziki vs Lambo is not something you want to be involved with).

New Car – MY06 Volkswagen Golf 2.0 TDI

malliemcg — Wed, 08 Mar 2006 05:10:52 +0000

On the 25th of February I got the keys to a new VW Golf 2.0 Turbo Diesel. I must really thank several people for helping making this all happen! Noel Wright from Stratton Finance for sorting out everything with finance and his tireless efforts and MASSIVE patience to help make this all happen. I must also thank Sam Stratten from McCarrolls Volkswagen for finding me a 2.0TDI with the spec I wanted that was available on such short notice. Without the help of these two people I would not have got my backside into a Golf as quickly as I did post Audi S3 misshap.

I must admit that after having this car for a little more than a week I am enjoying it immensly, and it seems to put its best face forward all the time . The chassis dynamics are worlds above the MkIV VW Golf that I formerly owned, the 2.0 TDI is reflex silver and has dead cow (leather) seats which are heated. The seats are firm which I find makes for a better long distance drive than soft seats and are heated which has two benefits – nice and warm on cold mornings and on long journeys help ease back discomfort.

It has found a friend in the carpark at work (MkIV Black Golf ) and I have had very few quibbles with it. The only one worth mentioning is that the rear right passenger door seems to have fit and finish about as well as a commodoore and I am not sure if if it is worth going back to the dealer over when compared to the left – I’ll have to ask some other people when they see it in the flesh who have a more objective view of it all.

Driving a diesel is very different to a petrol car and it seems to use bugga all fuel regardless of foot positioning. The take off from the lights is excellent, but rolling accelleration and going up hills is where this car shines, it is all just effortless for it. The last fillup I was able to do 200km running about in Canberra followed by a trip to Sydney and back before the feed me light popped on at the trip distance of 814km, I ended up putting very slowly 51-53L in (right to the brim – dodgy high flow pump) at around 840km.
