SEMA Spotlight: M2 Motoring’s Widebody Mk5 GTI

SEMA’s North Hall is a fairly diverse place, where nearly any company that considers themselves under the heading of “Collision and Repair” sets up shop.  As such, it’s aisles seem to be a bit less trafficked than the more in-your-face South and Central halls, even though there are always more than a few must-see builds displayed inside it.  Case in point is M2 Motoring’s Widebody GTI, which was found inside the Whistler Group booth.

Being in the business of Radar Detection and GPS Navigation Devices, Whistler needed a car which gave off the appearance of a  total police magnet.  In just briefly looking at this GTI with its flared arches, massive rear wing and front diffuser, and bold pink window stickers, I’d say it’s a job well done.

We don’t know a whole lot about this car, as we didn’t really have a chance to chat anyone up about the build, but as far as we can tell, the car has some sort of turbo upgrade from ATP Turbos, HRE Wheels, revamped bushings courtesy of Whiteline, suspension by CKS, and an unidentified widebody kit.  Aside from that, we’re filing this car under “missed connections.”

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 ...
