SEMA Bound: Momo’s Project GLI

With summer officially over, and the more basic among us flocking to Starbucks and their local breweries for Pumpkin-infused everything, those of us in the aftermarket industry have turned our attention to SEMA.  This gathering of automotive excess in Las Vegas brings out the best, and sometimes the worst, in what the industry has to offer when cost is no object, and personal preferences vary.  But happily not everyone sees it as an opportunity to cast taste aside.

For this year’s event, MOMO will be debuting a face-lifted Mk6 GLI, built in the OEM+ style to showcase their newly expanded product range.  Think of it much in the same vein as the Pirelli Edition’s of the 80s, an incredibly sporty take on a Volkswagen product that could very realistically be found at your local VW dealer.

VTX-MOMO-GLI-01

As work is just starting to get underway, MOMO has supplied us with a rendering that we’ve got to admit looks pretty sharp.  Utilizing MOMO’s race buckets, and a new wheel design, along with suspension from H&R, brakes from Brembo and engine upgrades that have yet to be determined (this is just the second 2016 in the country, after all), the final product promises to be quite tastefully done.  Over the coming weeks, we’ll follow along as they make the push towards SEMA, and be on the ground to see the car in person when this year’s event opens on November 3rd.

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 ...
