Watch: The Greatest ’80s Movie Never Made

This is the trailer for the greatest 1980s action movie that was never made. Wolf of the Autostrada features chest hair, gold chains, briefcases full of cash, and giant cell phones.

Oh yeah, and some cars too. Like the legendary RUF CTR that you’ll recognize as the Yellowbird. And this isn’t just another yellow CTR, this IS Yellowbird. The car that Road and Track piloted to 211 mph on the Ehra-Lessien test oval and the car that thrilled in RUF’s Faszination on the Nürburgring video. In that video it was driven by test pilot Stefan Rosser. The same driver behind the wheel in this clip. There is also a Lamborghini Countach driven by Lamborghini’s famous test driver Valentino Balboni. To fill out the lineup, there is a Ferrari Testarossa and an Aston Martin V8 Vantage.

The cars are making an epic race from somewhere to somewhere else. It doesn’t matter where, just know the roads are epic. They’re chasing a briefcase full of lire. You’ll have to watch to see who wins.

The video is made by classic car consultants Kidston SA. And it’s worth five minutes of your time. And then maybe the rest of the day while you watch their other clips.

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...
