Watch: V8 Swapped, DTM-Inspired A4 on the Streets of Warsaw

Welcome to the Church of St Fourtis, the patron saint of V8 swaps. Here, we celebrate the good works of missionaries spreading the good news to engine bays around the world. Where before there were few, now there are twice as many.

Today, we highlight the good work of our brothers and sisters in Poland, who saw an A4 suffering, wanting, calling out for gas and cylinders and answered its prayers.

This A4 was once a lowly TDI, crying out for more. So scant was its supply of cylinders that it couldn’t even drive all four wheels.

I know. There is nothing sadder in life than a Front-Wheel-Drive Audi, but our good missionaries jumped into action, providing a 4.2-liter engine and a Quattro all-wheel drive system to ensure that never again would this A4 go slowly onto that long highway.

Brother Auditography called this a “V8 Quattro monster,” but we prefer to think of this A4 as saved—returned to the bosom of power by Quattro.

Since its swap, this A4 has turned its life around. No more shall it languish, muddied by the stones of the road, worn down by harsh winds of rust, nor dirtied by the interior sins of gluttony and sloth. No. This A4 is stronger than ever before, leaner thanks to its carbon fiber bodykit, which added 5 cm to each fender, as well as a diffusor, rear wing, and canard.

An air ride suspension means that this DTM-inspired A4 can be nearer my God to thee whenever it chooses. Shepherded up to His protection, it fears no curbs or speed bumps.

And with its custom-made BcForged 2 piece centre lock wheels, its RS style grille, and its custom wrap, it is now spreading the good news along with the rest of us at the Church of St Fourtis. And with Michelin Pilot Sport 4s all around it can spread the word that much faster.

Listen to its song, won’t you?

2018 Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster Review

“Supercars just don’t excite me anymore.” These words, spoken to me over a month ago by another journalist, friend, and (so-called) enthusiast were echoing in my head for far too long, but they’ve finally been drowned out. Drowned out by the wail of a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 engine mounted in the middle of the new Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster. My friend’s point is that back in the good old days, there was a crop of supercars that captured the imagination with amazing style, sounds, performance, and more. Today, it seems like everything is capable of supercar performance, with large luxury sedans outdoing some of the best and most dedicated teams of car nuts, while former pillars of automotive excellence are suddenly pumping out family-friendly SUVs. Beyond that, another league of supercars, dubbed hypercars have cropped up with hybrid gas-electric powertrains that make magical things happen quickly, but at the cost of the acoustic drama, visual flair, and engag...

Project SportWagen: Going Stage 2 with APR

When we last left you, the humble little SportWagen was fresh from the development process with our friends at AWE Tuning, sporting a new downpipe, exhaust and intake, allowing things to breathe a bit easier. The car sounded great, but there was no getting around the fact that our wagon was still quite, well, slow. While we realize that nothing we do to the Golf SportWagen at this point will make it a race car, we still felt compelled to do something . To put it bluntly, we had a fever, and the only cure was more power. Flash forward a few hours, and we found ourselves at Waterfest, staring down APR’s palatial spread and the numerous tuned vehicles surrounding it. Earlier in the year, APR had hinted to us that their 1.8 TSI files would be quite impressive, and based on what they were able to do with the 2.0 TSI found in the new GTI and our time in their Golf R, we knew it’d be worth the wait. So with this in mind, we lined our G...

Project Golf SportWagen- Intro

I’ve never really been one for SUVs and crossovers. The current offerings aren’t the body-on-frame, go-anywhere specialty tools I remember from my youth, and what they lack in capability, they also lack in on-road performance. The current crop isn’t terribly good at handling or being efficient, which in my opinion are major components of our ideal driving experience. So when it comes to space or utility, I usually look for something of the wagon variety- and it seems that I’m not alone. We hit quite a few shows around the east coast each summer, and we see modified Jetta SportWagens at nearly every event. Even amongst common consumers, these cars are highly sought-after. They don’t depreciate much, making even early Mk 5 2.5 versions expensive in comparison to other Jettas or Golfs of the same vintage. This year, Volkswagen launched their latest SportWagen, which is now billed as a Golf. In many ways, this latest SportWagen is the best yet and it has certai...
