Worthersee 2015: Day 8 Gallery Now Live

[photos: Si Gray]

Si Gray’s time in Austria has come to an end, but before packing up and leaving town, he’s sent over one last round of event photos.  After making stops at all of the normal gathering spots, Si reports that traffic within the towns of Faak and Reifnitz has died down a bit, signaling that perhaps word has gotten out about the pre-event festivities.

Even still, Si was able to send over images of some of the more remarkable vehicles that we’ve seen so far this year.  Case in point would be this Mk7 GTI, which appears to be completely covered in Carbon Fiber, along with the seemingly ubiquitous air suspension and reverse-mounted three piece wheels.

Because attending just one Wörthersee branded event is never enough, Mr. Gray is currently on a flight destined for Philadelphia where he will have one day of rest before joining the Orchid Euro/Coolwater cruise to Georgia for SoWo.  We’re looking forward to catching up with a very tired Si in just a few day’s time.

Although Si may not be in town (or Europe, for that matter) anymore, our coverage of the event is not finished.  Jamie Vondruska will be hopping a plane shortly destined for Germany, where he will grab the keys to something undoubtedly cool and drive to Austria for the main event.  As time allows, he will be forwarding his shots from the event which we will get up as soon as possible.

Check out our full Wörthersee 2015 coverage here.  Due to popular demand, we’re also breaking out all galleries by day, which can be found here.

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...

Watch: The Zerouno Cruis’n USA

ItalDesign is drumming up excitement for its new supercar based around the same 5.2-liter Audi V10 that powers the R8. Naturally, it hit the road for a cruise around California last week to celebrate Monterey Car Week. There isn’t much in the way of V10 noise—which is a real shame given the sound it makes—but you do at least get a good look at the car inside and out in this video. With a body made entirely of carbon fiber and designed to be as aerodynamic and light as possible, ItalDesign figures that it will be good for a 0-60 time of just 3.2 seconds. “We put it our best skills into the production of the first car,” said Massimo Bovi, head of pre-series production, when the Zerouno was first unveiled in Geneva earlier this year. “Using some of the finest productions methods and engaging our high-skilled workers.” The car features clever aero tricks gleaned from single-seat racing, like a y-duct up front to improve downforce and turn-in. Available in a number of trim levels, the...
