Worthersee 2014 Photo Gallery: Day 11

UK contributor Si Gray reports that over a week into the experience that is Worthersee, the transition is beginning to happen. It’s not that anyone flips a switch, but at some point the event goes from laid back albeit gigantic gathering to equally gigantic party. The tone changes and so too do the attendees and cars.

According to Si, police enforcement has also begun to step up. Fines are being handed out for more and more. Cars are rotating in and out. Construction of the corporate presence from companies like Volkswagen has now begun in earnest. You can see the massive VW stage rising up in the center of town.

For the group that tends to come early, it is about that time to pack up and head out. Having been filing all of these reports and shooting specific cars at dedicated locations for days now, Si is getting ready to hit the road for a circuitous route home. He says we should have one more day of galleries before he heads out, which will round out an even dozen.

With his impending departure from Worthersee, our coverage will go more quiet over the holiday weekend. Then, next wee, we’ll be making the trek from the USA for one last flourish of coverage – a quick in and out view of the craziest portion of the event.

For now, check out Si Gray’s eleventh day show photos featured below. In addition, you can find our continuously growing gallery archive of Worthersee found via the link to the right of this story and also follow along in our dedicated Worthersee Event Index.

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...

Audi Teases A7 Details with New Video

Audi’s gearing up to unveil the latest iteration of the A7, and to get you excited they’ve released this teaser video focusing on the details. The lights, the lines, the interior are all teased here, and though on its own the video doesn’t give us a strong sense of what the whole car will look like, with all of the other details we’ve seen so far we now have a pretty good sense of what’s coming. As you might expect, the updated A7 will look broadly similar to the outgoing A7, but will differ in the details. Based on what we’ve seen, the changes look good. As was reported yesterday, we’re expecting a 3.0-liter turbocharged engine, a 4.0-liter V8 twin-turbo, a 2.9-liter twin-turbo V6, and an RS7 that could reportedly make up to 700 hp thanks to the Porsche Panamera’s hybrid drivetrain. We’ll know for sure, though, on Thursday, October 19, when the car is revealed. You can watch the livestream on our site or at audi.com at 2:00 pm.
