  • Audi TT Roadster by Vilner. Astonishing.

    2017 Vilner Audi TT RoadsteThere was this special guy who wanted to attract the attention of Vilner team. Long story short, he succeeded. Short story long, here’s what happened. The owner of this particular 1998 Audi TT considers the vehicle a special one in his life and therefore he wanted to grant it with something unique. His idea was to tune and tweak the design of the Audi in such a way that the original appearance is still present, but enhanced in a certain way.

    And here’s where the challenge laid: the comparison of the interior and the exterior styling of a cabrio machine is inevitable. After all, one can easily notice all the details from the outside and inside the vehicle in a matter of a second. So, how did Vilner team solvethis issue? Let’s find out!

    The design team applied a blue theme in the cockpit. There is fine Alcantara that covers the seats and doors, that perfectly fit the blue seatbelts and all this contrast stitching. In fact, the steering wheel has received some special attention: it was not only covered in this very same Alcantara fabric, but also it was heavily revised: it is smaller and more ergonomic.

    Furthermore, the central console is covered in soft brown, while the space between the two seats is covered in fine leather also in brown. The thing that caught our attention is this TT badging on the seats: these details are discrete and super stylish. Just in the style of Vilner. And in order to enhance the already luxurious atmosphere, all plastic covers and details are covered in fine leather. Sweet.

The stock V8 with a total of 650hp and 700Nm has been heavily revised in order to deliver the final 650hp (485kW) and 700Nm. This notable result is achieved by installing sporty catalytic converters and adding a special, exclusive low-pressure exhaust system. Of course, these additions requre a dedicated software. One such was delivered and contributes to a super-fast sprint of 3.1 seconds for reaching 0-100km/h. Sweet.

The cool thing is that Wheelsandmore team have managed to tweak the looks in a pretty elegant way: they have kept the stock design and have added just a bit of exclusive features in order to enhance the original appearance. As you might have noticed already, the most prominent addition are the handmade forged rims. These are lightweight forged goodies that are wrapped by 235/30/20  and 295/30/21 ContiSportContact 6 tires. Sweet.

  • Why You Should Invest In A Motorcycle

    MotorcycleAre you looking for a change in your life? Do you love the idea of riding a motorcycle? Whether you’ve ridden in the past or you want to see what it’s like, owning a hog is a worthwhile investment, especially as you get older. You don’t even have to be a motorcycle enthusiast to buy one; you just have to realize why it’s a great buy and what it can do for you. So, to help you get into that mindset, let’s go over the top reasons you should be investing in a motorcycle.

    Personal Freedom

    Sure, you have some freedom with a car, but the fact that you can carry passengers and cargo means that you will always have people who want to get a ride or have you pick something up for them. Additionally, there are certain places that a car just can’t go due to size constraints. Conversely, on a motorcycle, the world is your oyster. Best of all, you can enjoy the ride without anyone asking if they can come along or if you can swing by somewhere to run some errands. Simply put, motorcycle time is you time.

    Easy to Maintain

    Even if you don’t have the best motorcycle tires on your bike right now, swapping them out is a relative cinch compared to what it would take with a car. You don’t have to be a certified mechanic either, as you can find plenty of information on how to maintain and improve your bike over time. This way, instead of paying someone to fix small issues on your ride, all you have to do is go to a motorcycle parts store and get the piece you need.

    Exciting and Adventurous

    How much excitement do you get on a regular basis? Does it feel like your life is becoming a bit dull? While we can’t promise that a motorcycle can fix everything, it does give you an adrenaline rush to keep you coming back for more. Whether you ride to work or take it out to the country, each excursion is an adventure.

    When it comes to buying a bike, you are adopting a lifestyle, not a mode of transportation. As such, it’s an investment in yourself, so treat it accordingly.

  • B&B team shows off with a monstrous MINI Cooper! Check it out!

    2017 B&B Automobiltechnik MINI Cooper S Countryman As it seems, B&B Performance team is somehow attracted to gearing ridiculous amounts of power in relatively small packages: we have seen he 300hp VW Lupo RS, the 385hp Audi S1 and the 400hp VW Polo VR6 Turbo. But there was still something missing. Indeed, we are talking about a MINI vehicle that has undergone a comprehensive tuning program and now can proudly stay next to its brothers as a small machine with tons of power.

  • From Reconnaissance to Renaissance – The Jeep Evolution

    What can you say about the 2017 Jeeps that hasn’t already been said? Well, how about Jeeps come from a long line of rugged four-wheelers that have a tradition of getting you in and out of places that other cars should never even consider going to? Okay, that’s a good start. Jeeps do have a strong lineage of four-wheeling ancestors that were designed and built to not only win wars and conquer the roughest terrains but also to get you where you want to go safely and comfortably.

    Jeeps, although they began in the early 1940s, and were conceived of as a light, four-wheel-drive reconnaissance car, have evolved into something that still provides the same basic functions of a tough off-road vehicle with the extra-added qualities of a Sports Utility Vehicle that also ranks high in luxury and comfort values. Today’s jeep, no matter which one you choose, can take you confidently four-wheeling over just about any terrain and get you back safely.

    The Jeep Grand Cherokee, which you can test-drive at Marlow Motor Company, is always on everyone’s list of top off-roaders and best SUVs. The Cherokee has three optional engines this year that allow for choices from great fuel economy to incredible towing power. The basic V6, 3.6-liter delivers increased fuel savings while at the same time maintaining all the Jeep tradition of providing enough push to get you over creeks and steep rocky inclines. The turbocharged V6, 3.0-liter diesel also offers great fuel economy along with the added boost of increased low-end torque. If you’re looking for greater speed and increased acceleration and towing capacity, then the V8, 5.7-liter engine is for you. It rivals the diesel V6 in its load-bearing ability and overall performance.

    SEE ALSO: Vilner presents a premium project: Mercedes-Benz Vision CLA 250

    There are a lot of standard and optional features that the Grand Cherokee offers this year. Some of them to consider are: ventilated seats, the large 8.4-inch Uconnect Touchscreen, alloy wheels, rearview camera, rear parking sensors, dual-zone automatic climate control system, leather-wrapped tilt and telescoping steering wheel, USB port and auxiliary audio jack, Bluetooth, keyless ignition and entry, eight-speed transmission, heated front and rear seats and almost too many more to name in this space.

    The Jeep Grand Cherokee is America’s first, and we think, best SUV. It’s come a long way from the drab olive colored, doorless and open top, four-cylinder reconnaissance car that our grandfathers rode around in during the forties. But it still gives that same sense of freedom, fun, security and the ability to take you anywhere you want to go – in comfort.

  • Durango Stays Bold While Others Shrink

    2017 Dodge DurangoThe Dodge Durango seems to overshadow other SUVs and it’s not only because of its big and bold size and attitude. The Durango is one of those rare and powerful vehicles that is not afraid to stand alone away from the herd. Its good looks can only be matched by its friendly and luxurious interior that seats 7 comfortably and its power train that makes it the dominant SUVs on the planet.

    The Dodge Durango that we test drove at Foss Motors had the big V8  in it, which impressed us so much we asked if we could drive around the block a couple more times. Thank goodness the Foss sales guy understood. He just smiled knowingly when we asked him, as if he gets that all the time and nodded his head. The second time around for us was unbelievable. We tried to be reserved and not be aggressive with the accelerator but, hey, what can you do when you’re in the beautiful 2017 Durango and you’re behind the wheel?

    SEE ALSO: Kahn Design and the Stealthy Sexiness: It’s worth the check out!

    That was a rhetorical question, so no need to answer it. What we did, however, was to really feel the SUV out and take it through what we might experience if we owned it. We got on the highway and weaved (safely) through traffic, hardly noticing the bumpy road because of the great load-leveling suspension the Durango has. The ride couldn’t have been smoother and quieter and the 18-inch wheels along with cruise control and all the other standard amenities kept us confident throughout our whole test drive. The large infotainment touchscreen was also a nice surprise as it was so user-friendly and within the driver’s reach that we almost bought the car while we were driving it.

    SEE ALSO: The “Triple Seven” by Wheelsandmore hits the road. Beware!

    We also loved the all-wheel drive and the gas mileage, which was 18 mpg in the city and 25 on the highway. The eight-speed automatic transmission did all the work it was designed to do and never once reminded us that it was there. The whole experience was like that – low key, yet efficient and powerful. It was a pleasure to finally get behind the wheel of this legendary SUV and actually see the world from those comfortable seats. The Dodge Durango is a rare luxury in this busy world of ours. Come see for yourself and take a test drive.
