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.

Review: Saying Goodbye to the CC V6

For all its size and its global reach, Volkswagen is still, in many ways, a deeply human company. There was, for instance, the Bugatti Veyron an ego project if ever there was one. Then the purchase of Ducati, a move most called folly. And then there was the Phaeton, the Volkswagen that most folks can’t afford. Not only were these moves all strange, I’m sure that they made VW’s accountants furious. None of them made good business sense, but they were all deeply interesting and they all are evidence of the heart that beats at the center of VW. Among these follies is the CC, a car that everyone agrees is rakishly handsome, but that no one really wanted to buy. The car couldn’t last, but the world is brighter for its having been in it. With the approach debut of the Arteon, it seems like a good time to look back on its sadly departing predecessor. The version I drove, because I live in Canada, is a V6 Wolfsburg Edition, which apparently isn’t available in the States. Nor is the V6, not as...

More 3.0-Liter TDI Settlement Details Expected by January 31

Volkswagen and the TDI Plaintiff’s Steering Committee were in court today for another status conference following the agreement in principal reached earlier this week. Little new information was given at the conference held before Judge Charles Breyer today, but the court ordered the parties to develop a formal settlement agreement, class action notices, and a class notice plan by January 31, 2017. For now, though, owners still don’t know how much to expect in compensation. Elizabeth Cabraser, lead Counsel for the Plaintiff’s Steering Committee reaffirmed in a statement today that the compensation would be “substantial.” The potential cost to Volkswagen is widely reported to exceed $1 billion, though, with an additional $225 million going into an environmental trust to help offset excess emissions. Buy back offers are still only expected for the oldest 20,000 of the roughly 80,000 VW Group vehicles sold in America with the 3.0-liter TDI engine. Those vehicles are mostly SUVs, like ...
