Audi RS4 Avant, yet another unicorn in the USA...

It probably isn't a mystery at this point that I am a wagon fan. More room than a coupe, more sporty than an SUV. Maybe not as "cool" as a convertible, but definitely "cooler" than a sedan (in my humble opinion).Throw in a mighty Audi 4.2 liter V8 and you have something that could be considered perfection.

If that is of course 450 hp @ 8,250 RPM in a car that can haul ass and groceries interests you in the least.

The Audi R8 GT - Made for the masses?

The R8 GT. 560 HP of Audi Quattro goodness. A tremendously capable out-of-the-box race car from a brand with a storied motorsports pedigree. So why do I think it's for the masses?

Walter Rohrl - Master of the Audi Quattro

I just can't get enough of Walter Rohrl behind the wheel.

Walter Röhrl - Vintage S1 goodness...

No one can part a spectator sea like Walter Rohrl. Or maybe it's the distinctive sound pouring out of that turbocharged Audi 5-cylinder that make humans scatter as if you were, well I guess like if you were hurtling a ton and a half of rally perfection at them...

Group B - Still too fast to race

Quite possibly the most comprehensive, intense, all encompassing video on the golden age of rally racing. Excellent sounds, great in-car videos, tremendous commentary by some guy with a British accent.

What more could you ask for?

OK, it's an hour and 16 minutes long, but OH-SO worth it!!!

Winter Driver Safety and Education

In the dog days of summer, sometimes it's hard to think that soon it will be winter again... Are you ready?

Not your average soccer mom's Avant...

Yet another sick ride not available in the USA...

Why does the rest of the world get to have so much more fun than we do? We never get the cool toys; like the RS4 Avant, the KTM X-Bow, or the now-in-my-dreams RS 3...

2012 Audi A6 Avant -UNCUT

It's no secret we're wagon lovers here at BlendLines. What a wonderful alternative to the hulking SUV. As far as wagons go, the Audi is by far the most appealing. Sorry. I meant to say 'Avant'. If I was talking BMW's it would be 'touring'. If the video was about Acura, 'Sport Wagon' would be more appropriate. And if it were a Volvo? Well, I would never drive one so it doesn't matter....

Enjoy the full clip.

In Norway, they drift Quattro's...

Shiny side up, please...

I'm not really into crash videos. But in this case, it shows the structural rigidity built into rally cars. On it's lid, and I didn't notice any glass broken! Granted, as far as rollovers go, this one was gentle. But the point is still made: A properly executed cage can save your life.

It just does NOTHING for egos...

Cockpit Kamera Audi Quattro S1

What is it that makes the sound of that 5 cylinder turbo so sexy. Here's some more pure sound for your listening pleasure... Exhaust note so sweet, makes the awful video quality worth it...

Audi Sport Quattro by Dahlbäck

Even an occaisional visitor to BlendLines can tell that we're big fans of the UR Quattro. The sound of that turbocharged 5 cylinder, the flared fenders, the manual lockable diffs. What's not to love? Sure they were slightly electrically challenged, but was there anything in the 80's that wasn't?

The Uber-UR (is that even allowed?) is of course the Sport Quattro. Clad in Kevlar composite body panels, the chassis was also shortened and more power was made standard. In the hands of tuners like Dahlback, the car was capable of truly monstrous performance.

Enjoy the clip, and turn it way up!

600 Seconds of 5 Cylinder Music

Rolling roads let the good times roll...

These guys really enjoy their Quattro's. What to do on a cold day when you sport a boosted Audi? Why not hang out at the nearest 4 wheel dyno with your family and drink coffee? Obviously it looks a lot cooler when you can edit that day and add some good music...
