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.

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...
