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?

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 ...
