Mercedes 190 Rap Tribute – NSFW
The Mercedes 190 is without a doubt one of the most memorable sedans of the 80’s which holds one of the top positions in the “they don’t build them like they used to” category.
Its lack of electronics which usually brake down or cause problems in today’s automobiles, and its old-school, basic approach is making the 190 popular even today.

Sportec Audi RS3 with 408 HP
The Swiss from Sportec have released their latest tuning kit that will enable the current Audi RS3 to deliver a mighty punch.
The RS3 is an ‘angry’ hatch even as standard, due to the 340 HP packed by its 2.5-liter 5-cylinder plant, but the tuners from Sportec have managed to increase that figure to 408 HP and 550 Nm of torque by remapping the engine control unit and fitting the car with a stainless steel sport exhaust system.
Sportec claims that the export version Audi RS3 can be tuned even further and achieve no less than 500 HP, and we don’t know about you but we find that pretty darn impressive.
