Audi RS5 Video
This Audi RS5 video is among the first ones, besides the official footage revealed by the automaker when the model was revealed, showing the German sports-coupe driving on some twisty mountain roads.
Of course this being shot on a public road there is not much you could enjoy visually, but we do get to hear the lovely ‘music’ put out by the Audi RS5’s V8.

Maserati GranCabrio promo video
The latest Maserati GranCabrio promo video has appeared online, presenting the topless Italian sportscar in the company of elegant women and in different environments, from receptions, to short trips or night outs with friends.
The Maserati GranCabrio comes with the same 4.7-litre V8 found in the GranTurismo S, which produces 440 horsepower, enabling a 5.4 seconds 0 to 100 Km/h acceleration and a maximum speed of 283 Km/h.
Audi RS6 Evotech vs Nissan GT-R
In this video we have a good old-fashioned drag race with an Audi RS6 Evotech vs a Nissan GT-R.
The Audi RS6 Evotech has a turbocharged V10 under its bonnet that has been optimized to produce 750 HP while the Nissan GT-R develops 480 HP from its 6-cylinder powerplant.
The Audi RS6 Evotech puts around 2,000 Kg on the scale, which means around 300 Km more than the Nissan GT-R. Of course that is not enough to make up for the big power difference between the two cars, but we have to admire the GT-R’s quicker sprint to 225 Km/h.

B&B VW Transporter T5
With the B&B VW Transporter T5 the German tuner proves that it understands the need for individuality, no matter what you drive, even a van.
Besides the 40mm lowered suspension, the stainless steel exhaust system or the set of exclusive wheels available in sizes 18, 19 or 20 inch the B&B VW Transporter T5 is mostly about increased performance.
Hamann 2011 BMW 5 Series
We’ve seen Ac Schnitzer present their custom range of wheels fitted on the 2011 BMW 5 Series F10, now Hamman is doing the same thing.
We have to say that the Hamann 2011 BMW 5 Series is closer to our tastes, more particularly the version sitting on black 22 inch rims featuring the double spoke design, but Ac Schitzer’s Type V Lightweight Wheels do not look bad either.
