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...

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 ...
