VIDEO: Audi R8 is the chosen chariot for snowy excursions

New York Times and Automobile contributor Ezra Dyer may have found the perfect German exotic for New England winters: the Audi R8. True, the R8 is pretty low to the ground, but it also makes good use of Audi’s superb Quattro all-wheel drive system and thanks to its mid-engine layout much of the weight sits over the rear wheels. But even the best AWD is useless when providing spin for four summer tires, so the snow white model Dyer was piloting around the northeast winter wonderland also had four of the widest winter tires you can find.
Hit the jump to watch Dyer as he plows through his snowy driveway in pursuit of some “important” shopping. We’re pretty impressed with how the four-ringed, mid-engine thoroughbred handled the white stuff even when the pedal hit metal. We’re just wondering what Dyer needed so badly from Bed Bath and Beyond.

In Audi’s attempt to prove that they are growing faster than BMW, Lexus and Mercedes Benz, they have released a new commercial of what they think people have been told to desire. I have to say this commercial is rather catchy. Check it out below. Enjoy!
Porsche 911 GT3 R Hybrid
The guys at Porsche have conjured up a new hybrid system which is nothing like the one found in your normal consumer hybrid sold at the Toyota or Ford dealership. Instead, found in the new Porsche 911 GT3 R, is a hybrid system that uses an electro-mechanical flywheel for energy storage developed by the Williams Formula One team and the Williams Hybrid subsidiary.

Everyone wants to beat Toyota into the ground lately due to their unfortunate “issues” but let’s face it, Toyota has had one of the best reputations for building a quality vehicle in the history of automobiles and that’s just a fact. All sticky gas pedal jokes aside, Toyota is still a worthy contender even if Hyundai, among others, are trying to dethrone Toyota of being quality king. What about performance king in the midsized car segment? How about a drag race of Hyundai’s newest 4-cylinder Sonata up against what used to be the best selling midsized sedan in the country? We know that a drag race only measures one performance angle but it is a good start.
