Watch: V8 Swapped, DTM-Inspired A4 on the Streets of Warsaw

Welcome to the Church of St Fourtis, the patron saint of V8 swaps. Here, we celebrate the good works of missionaries spreading the good news to engine bays around the world. Where before there were few, now there are twice as many.

Today, we highlight the good work of our brothers and sisters in Poland, who saw an A4 suffering, wanting, calling out for gas and cylinders and answered its prayers.

This A4 was once a lowly TDI, crying out for more. So scant was its supply of cylinders that it couldn’t even drive all four wheels.

I know. There is nothing sadder in life than a Front-Wheel-Drive Audi, but our good missionaries jumped into action, providing a 4.2-liter engine and a Quattro all-wheel drive system to ensure that never again would this A4 go slowly onto that long highway.

Brother Auditography called this a “V8 Quattro monster,” but we prefer to think of this A4 as saved—returned to the bosom of power by Quattro.

Since its swap, this A4 has turned its life around. No more shall it languish, muddied by the stones of the road, worn down by harsh winds of rust, nor dirtied by the interior sins of gluttony and sloth. No. This A4 is stronger than ever before, leaner thanks to its carbon fiber bodykit, which added 5 cm to each fender, as well as a diffusor, rear wing, and canard.

An air ride suspension means that this DTM-inspired A4 can be nearer my God to thee whenever it chooses. Shepherded up to His protection, it fears no curbs or speed bumps.

And with its custom-made BcForged 2 piece centre lock wheels, its RS style grille, and its custom wrap, it is now spreading the good news along with the rest of us at the Church of St Fourtis. And with Michelin Pilot Sport 4s all around it can spread the word that much faster.

Listen to its song, won’t you?

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

Waterfest Moves to Atco Dragway

Waterfest 24 will be held at Atco Dragway, in Atco, New Jersey. The summer event will take place at its new venue on July 21 and 22. Long held in Englishtown, New Jersey, the festival has been such a large part of the VW scene that the latest iteration of the Golf even comes with optional “Englishtown” wheels . The new venue, however, is an NHRA drag track a scant 52 miles southwest of Englishtown. The ¼ mile drag track opened in 1960, which makes it the oldest drag strip in New Jersey. The announcement came today on a social media post that announced the new location. Waterfest is North America’s largest VW/Audi show. As many 20,000 people show up for the annual show, making the second largest show in the world—with Worthersee being number one. 2018 will be Waterfest’s 24 th year in existence.
