A 1993 Audi S4 sits in a Missouri garage, its bland exterior hiding a monster within. This custom built beast was once the world’s fastest sedan, clocking 261 mph at Bonneville Speed Week in 2012. Now it’s up for auction on Cars & Bids, someone can own a piece of automotive history that combines German engineering with American bravado.
For those who don’t know, Audi launched a separate China-only brand called AUDI (all caps), and the E5 Sportback is its first model. AUDI skips the iconic four-ring badge for a bold “AUDI” script, signaling a fresh identity tailored for China’s digital-first consumers. It’s built to feel like Audi’s premium DNA but with a distinct, modern twist.
Sleek, stylish, yet functional, the Audi Q6 E-Tron Off-Road concept teases the company’s progressive off-road segment, starting with its ride height. An all-new suspension increases its right height by 160 mm (6.3 in), while a 250 mm (9.8 in) wider track contribute to its rugged appearance.

A 2002 Chevy Silverado pickup truck isn’t exactly synonymous with drag racing, but this one may be the exception. Put simply, the only thing left from the factory vehicle is its steel bed, but the rest of the body is fiberglass. Power comes from a twin-turbocharged 5.3L V8 that now makes 1,500 horsepower.
The late Ken Block and the rest of the Hoonigan team visited Mexico City back in November 2022 to film Electrikhana Two in his Audi S1 Hoonitron. Unlike other electric vehicles, the S1 Hoonitron is equipped with ‘simulated gears’, which gives it a digital gearbox by programming multiple levels of wheel speed on the electric motors, controlled with a paddle shifter.
Can a Tesla Model S Plaid take on a 1,400hp twin-turbocharged Audi R8 in a drag racing showdown? The former does have a tri-motor (one front + two rear) setup making 1,020 hp and 1,050 lb-ft of torque, so it’s definitely no slouch, even though the Audi R8 V10 does cost around $40,000 USD more from the factory.
