Audi Introducing Highly Limited Edition R8 V10 plus Coupe Competition Package

Remember a few months ago when Audi introduced the Audi Sport performance parts? Well, now you can get a limited edition R8 with all of that stuff added on for just $40,000 more than standard.

To be fair, the car will only be one of ten brought into the US in precisely this configuration, which includes just about every performance part it can have, a Suzuka Gray paint job, Audi exclusive interior package, a Bang & Olufsen sound system and more (full list below).

Thanks to its 20-inch milled wheels (-26.4 lbs) and it’s carbon ceramic brake pads (-2.2 lbs) the car loses some unsprung weight and adds 220 lbs of downforce thanks to its carbon fiber aero bits.

Models are expected to hit dealerships in November 2018, so get your dialing fingers ready and call your local dealer quick if you want one of your own. But make sure you call accountant first because it’ll cost you $235,350 to get it.

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.
