Wörthersee 2015 Photo Gallery: Day 9

Alas, the all things VAG festival of Wörthersee in Austria has ended its multi-week go. The corporate presence from brands like Volkswagen, Audi, SEAT and Skoda are firmly in place and the final “official” days are now over.

Our own Jamie Vondruska popped in during the craziness of the official days and has submitted several hundred photos from his 24-hour pop into the small Austrian town of Reifnitz. Each has been added to our photo galleries, both separated by model and also clustered together into one folder of contributions from Vondruska.

As you can see, the highlight of the official days is the corporate presence. For Volkswagen, this meant pulling the wraps off of the Golf GTE Sport Concept along with other featured cars in the Volkswagen stand. These also included a Golf Sportwagen BiTurbo TDI, a Golf R Color Concept, the Apprentices’ Golf GTI Dark Shine design study and various other models.

Those watching our coverage closely will note the difference in public days. The volume of enthusiasts and cars has grown exponentially. Even still, with grown numbers also means a drop in overall quality of builds if not outrageousness. More of the extensive builds during these days go to corporate presences like Abt Sportsline and Oettinger.

We’ll have a more thorough summary of the event and a few more news items stemming from Wörthersee throughout the week. In addition to our continuing Worthersee coverage, our staff is also hard at work on a recap of this year’s Southern Wörthersee in Helen, GA, and the Nurburgring 24 Hour race that also happened last weekend.

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 ...
