We’re Not Sure What This Is, But We Like It

Blend beautiful women, tuned Audis and BMWs, classical music and Italy’s Stelvio Pass, and what do you get? Apparently, the answer is a German short film, found on Autoblog, entitled “Mechanical Synfonica.” Sponsored by Rieger Tuning and produced by Format67.net, the five-minute, high definition video is like a work-safe mini vacation, so turn up the volume, maximize the video, sit back and enjoy.

We can’t afford to send you to the Stelvio Pass (hell, we can’t afford to send US to the Stelvio Pass), but think of this video as an early holiday gift from us to you. Read more

Don’t even think about buying this one-off, uber-tuned R8 from MTM unless you own some serious sunglasses. In fact, welders goggles wouldn’t be out of the question, especially on sunny days. The exterior, you see, was stripped of paint before the bare aluminum was polished to a mirror-like sheen, a process that took some 700 hours to complete. Put that into perspective for a second: if you were working at home in your garage, killing two hours of spare time per day, that finish would take you nearly a year to duplicate (at which time you’d probably have to start all over again to remove the oxidation). As cool as it is, that’s not what the MTM R8 Biturbo is really about. Read more

The Smoking Tire Drives 710hp STaSIS Engineering Audi R8 V10 Spyder

The Smoking Tire’s host Matt Farah is another guy with a better job than me. He gets to drive insanely crazy-fast sports cars such as the Audi R8 V10 5.2-liter Spyder only the latest one he drives happens to be tuned by STaSIS Engineering.
