Video: EVO Pits Audi RS 3 and Golf R in Latest Deadly Rivals Film

EVO Magazine is in the fortunate position that they can simply phone up a few manufacturers whenever it pleases, and arrange for some of the more fiercely compared vehicles to be dropped off at their circuit for a ‘Deadly Rivals’ comparison. For their latest edition, EVO has decided to get a new Golf R and the Audi RS 3 together for a grudge match. Their results may just surprise you.

Things like ‘sharper’ and ‘slightly more amusing’ are thrown around quite often in the video, but they’re never about the RS 3. But perhaps the most surprising bit of the film is the Audi’s penchant for understeer despite being able to put 100 per cent of its power to the rear wheels, or the quickness with which its brakes begin to lose effectiveness. Add in that you’re able to leave the dealer with a new Golf R for £10,000 less than the Audi, and the VW suddenly seems like an even better proposition. The Golf’s lap time ain’t half bad either.

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...
