SEMA Spotlight: Allroad Outfitters e-Golf

With last year’s widebody S4 SEMA build, Southern California-based Allroad Outfitters set the bar quite high for outside-the-box display vehicles.  For this year, they’ve doubled down on Audi with a new widebody S3 and SQ5 on Volk Racing TE37s to sit alongside their S4.  But it’s not their Audis we’re concerned about here, it’s their e-Golf.

Fitted with Air Lift’s new 3H suspension and Advan Racing RGIII wheels wrapped in Toyo tires, the e-Golf certainly turned quite a few heads as it sat just outside SEMA’s Central Hall entrance.  For good measure, the car has also been fitted with a 325mm big brake kit from Brembo.

Aside from that, the Urano Grey e-Golf is relatively untouched.  You see, anytime a tuner dives head-first into a vehicle which has otherwise seen little to no love in the aftermarket, nearly every new part installed is a trial and error process.  Moving forward, Allroad Outfitters plans on further modifying the car, with both performance and range in mind.  While they were quite tight lipped about how this will be achieved, we know it’ll be an interesting project to keep an eye on.

For those heading to the LA Auto Show next week, the car will be on display so be sure to swing by.  For those not able to attend, check out additional shots of the car below, and see our entire SEMA gallery 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...

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 ...
