Meet the new Audi R18 which is absolutely ready for the new motorsport season of 2016. The car has just celebrated its world premiere in Munich, Germany, showing that it is the most ever produced. The world premiere happened on the occasion of the Audi Sport Finale at the Audi Training Center Munich on Saturday.
And here is the big news: for the 2016 season Audi Sport has substantially re-designed the Audi R18. The LMP1 race car will compete in the in the Le Mans 24 Hours and in the FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC). It is absolutely ready for a win, because it now includes innovative aerodynamics that are representation of the newest lightweight design philosophy, modified hybrid system with lithium-ion batteries for energy storage, plus an efficiency-optimized TDI engine.

All of this speaks of impending win and I am definitely looking forward to see what happens. As a matter of fact, Audi Sport says that with this car it is setting a clear signal, highlighting the aim of putting “the pedal to the metal in motorsport, deliberately relying on TDI”. And by the way, this engine is regarded on of world’s most successful automotive efficiency technology competing at Le Mans.
2016 FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) is beginning in April and its start will be at the Silverstone, UK. There Audi Sport Team Joest will be fielding two new Audi R18 cars. Porsche, which is a “sister brand” of Audi, has also agreed to compete in the Le Mans 24 Hours and the WEC season with only two instead of the most recent three cars. And this is in the interest of maximum cost efficiency.
It is indisputable that the Audi R18 marks a major step in company’s motorsport development. But let’s see what happens when the season starts. Stay with us!

Bentley Bentayga is the first luxury SUV of its class offered on the market. Yes, we have the Cayenne but here we are speaking of a different and higher kind of luxury experience. The Bentayga will be the benchmark against which all other SUVs are measured and will be definitely defining a brand new segment of the luxury SUV.

Ten days ago Porsche presented at the L.A. Motor Show its brand new and ecstatic Cayman GT4 Clubsport. Now the luxurious company promotes the car with furious video showing-off the how the sports car behaves in action. There is really nothing much said about it, except for this: “If the rebel inside you dreams of this. Get him on track… Rebels race harder.”
It is said that “boxer engines” get their name from the way that the pistons move. The pistons move horizontally, in an opposing, side-to-side manner sort of like two boxers punching at each other. Over the years, this unique design has been used from everything from Volkswagons, Porsches to Subarus and BMW motorcycles. Boxer engines are an elegant engine design and offer natural advantages for automotive design engineers. Let’s take a closer look at these unique engines.
The concept of the airbag, a soft pillow to land against during a crash, had been around for many years before anyone thought of using them in cars. In fact, the first patent on an inflatable crash-landing device for aircraft was actually filed during World War II. None were made during the conflict and it wasn’t until the 1980s that the technology migrated into the automotive industry.
It’s often called a radio, but a “head unit” is a perhaps a better term for this audio component since it is the brains and command center for a car’s sound system. The head unit is usually located on the dash and allows you to choose things like: what station to listen to, the music volume, what song you wish to hear – along with many other functions. Here’s an in-depth look at the various elements that make up today’s automotive head units.
If you are installing a high-end sound system in your car, you are likely considering the purchase of a separate power amplifier. Factory sound systems do have built-in audio amplifiers but they may not satisfy the needs of enthusiasts with a desire for powerful sound – that’s when separate power amplifiers come into play.
It is still fresh and new, but it has already a comprehensive upgrade: two 3-series LCI models are now geared with numerous additional features with the aid of tuning specialists AC Schnitzer. The engineering team has helped to improve the power units of the 316d and 335d to additional 139hp (102kW) for the 316d and 360hp (263kW) for the 335d model.

This BMW 1-Series by AC Schnitzer has impressive motorsport qualities and it has just debuted at the Essen Motor Show. I’m sure that there is rarely anyone who could expect a brute power from the ‘smallest’ in any range, but the case here is exactly the opposite. Since the tuners at AC Schnitzer were involved, there is literally no doubt that we could expect something even worth of race track competition.

Land Rover Ambassador and polar explorer, Ben Saunders, decided to swap his shoes with winter tires for his Range Rover Sport SVR and to put this change to the test near the Arctic Circle. There is also a new film released by Land Rover that shows the journey of the famous adventurer from ice driving beginner to experienced professional in Sweden on a full-scale replica of the Silverstone Grand Prix Circuit.

G-Power rises again with a special tuning for the M3 and M4. The car depicted here is the BMW M4 F82, which has received a very special optimization for its powerful engine. And instead of its standard 431 horsepower it now shows a lot more! The upgrade happened via an in-house developed Bi-Tronik 2 V2.
2016 Honda Pilot received the highest 5-Star Overall Vehicle Score in the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) New Car Assessment Program (NCAP). But this is not all: 2016 Pilot also earned the TOP SAFETY PICK+ rating from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) when equipped with the optional crash prevention system, which makes it the first three-row SUV machine with such high achievements and ratings.
