  • Audi Shows Fifty-Shades-of-Grey-Inspired Video Clip [VIDEO]

    Since Audi is the official partner of the soon-to-be-revealed movie titled Fifty Shades of Grey, it has shown a new video where Vanessa Bayer is trying to seduce strangers in an elevator. And we have to admit that it is pretty hilarious.

    Many famous singers and performers, like Beyonce and The Weeknd, have been inspired by the worldwide phenomenon Fifty Shades of Grey. But it hasn’t left an imprint on the music industry only. The domination of the box office has reached even productions such as Spongebob Squarepants as well. And now Audi has asked Saturday Night Live’s star to recreate perhaps the most popular scene in the movie industry so far.

    The attempts of the desperate woman fail to bring her the so-wanted results but we at least are presented with something genuinely funny. Her pickup lines like “I’m working out right now. Kegels. Making everything real strong” and “You’re so dominant,” as well as the gestures, facial expressions and mimics are an unquestioned recipe for a failure.

    What really stands behind this video is the idea of Audi to promote itself as well because in the upcoming movie different characters will drive Audi models such as the S7, S8, Q3, A3 and Audi R8 V10 Spyder. So what’s better than making a parody out of the film and showing a shadowy image of Audi vehicle at the end? Nothing.

    Well done, Audi! You know how to play with subtleties!

  • Regula Tuning’s R8 V10 Spyder Is All Show and No Go

    Regula-Tuning-Audi-R8-v10-Spyder-shadowRegula-Tuning-Audi-R8-v10-Spyder-medium

    We are sorry, but has the world ran out of wheels? This is the third time in the last five days that we encounter the flamboyant Oxigin-Oxrock 8,5 x 20s along with the accompanying spinning covers. At the very least, this time they don’t seem to ruin the overall vista of the car in question. No, everything else does.

    What you see here is the newest (post-facelift) Audi R8 V10 Spyder that’s been tricked out by Regula Tuning. This is not their first time when they’ve butchered an R8. Don’t get us wrong, it doesn’t look that bad. Over the top and vulgar with those scarlet red accents for sure, but still kind of cool-looking. The biggest problem we have with it, however, is the pretence that it is something that it is clearly not. Besides the carbon-fiber bodykit (consisting of a front and rear apron and side skirts) and the wheels, there don’t seem to be any other features that differentiate it from the stock R8. You still get the same 525 hp Lambo-sourced V10 and the standard suspension setup.

    Nobody’s trying to dispute the Audi’s original performance here, but one has to be able to walk the talk, right? If you look like a Nürbergring thoroughbred on track days, you need to be able to leave your opponents trailing behind, not just intimidate them with a virtually non-existent ground clearance and paper-thin tires. Out on the streets, on the other hand, you’ll need to do countless recalculations of your route on the satnav since you obviously won’t be able to clear the speed hump that’s spanning before you.

    Amazingly, though, the most striking thing about the Regula R8 is the price – $9,400. Worth it?
