Wörthersee 2015: Day 2 and 3 Galleries Now Live

[Photos: Si Gray]

The sun has come out at Lake Worthersee, eager to greet the many enthusiasts who’ve come early for Europe’s largest Volkswagen gathering. Making his way to the many meets and usual hang outs, our UK contributor Si Gray is on the ground in Austria and filed this latest group of photos from his first weekend there.

As you may recall, Si is in town a week early to catch the most die-hard of enthusiasts. This group, often with some seriously impressive cars, shows up ahead of the main event so as not to get mired in the craziness of the ever-growing crowds during the actual show week. This year however, the number of early attendees is though the roof, making traffic and parking a bit more hectic, forcing some noteworthy cars to be parked alongside the road rather than in their normal spots.

Not one to be easily deterred, Mr. Gray scoured the landscape in search of the best cars in attendance, and will continue to send daily galleries our way into next week. He’ll then depart Wörthersee for a quick 12 hour stop-off in the UK before boarding a plane destined for Southern Wörthersee here in the states. For the time being, follow along and see some of Europe’s most impressive modified Volkswagens and other notable cars that show up here.

Today’s photos can be found in the column to the right of this story or by following this link, along with the photos from Day 1.

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...

PZM 73rd Rally Poland Kicks Off

The WRC is in Poland and after only one stage there are three Volkswagens in the top five. Today’s special stage at the Mikolajki Arena is the first stage, but the rally doesn’t begin in earnest until Friday. Today’s super special stage was less than two minutes long, and less than a second separates the top five drivers. Hyundai Motorsport’s Thierry Neuville tops the charts today, followed closely by Volkswagen’s Andreas Mikkelsen. Sebastien Ogier and Jari-Matti Latvala are in fourth and fifth, respectively. Expect Ogier to climb the rankings, though. Not only did he win the rally last year, he has won every year since 2013. And with rain expected on Friday, Ogier’s chances are even better. “If it’s a bit wet then I hope I can make some good times,” said Ogier earlier today. “The best would be some good rain during the night so it’s a damp surface and then not too bad weather during the day so specators can enjoy the show without being too wet.” If it is dry, though, speed is on ...
