The engine in the 2010 TTRS was the same as the engine in the Golf and the Rabbit/Jetta. In the TTRS it got 17psi of boost and direct injection and made 340 HP. I would guess it is a tweaked version of that engine as well.

I think it’s floated around a few times, but I doubt it will ever make production, and even if something does, I doubt it will be this.

Unless you have coilovers and ball-joint camber plates, then everything on the road gets a nice suspension clunk.

Starts as a little chatter when you’re decelerating in gear... then a little louder when you’re decelerating, and a little bit when you’re on the gas too. Then it doesn’t matter if you’re in gear or not, you get it. Next thing you know, your car sounds like a load of ball bearings in a spin cycle, then finally a…

Yeah, the concept said 408 HP turbo 2.5L 5-cylinder. Not sure how that was related to the production engines 5 years ago, but I imagine for a concept it was just a tuned version of something you could get at the time.

Here’s Jalopnik’s original coverage of the concept I was thinking of: http://jalopnik.com/5652030/the-au…

9.) Audi Sport Quattro Hybrid

I think the craziest version I have ever seen was the teaser renderings from Tesla before the car was released:

I am a fan of the Audi Quattro Coupe concept:

The 1970 Cadillac Zagato NART:

After the fire that killed the crew of Apollo 1, NASA funded research of flame retardant textiles, making this:

Diplomatic immunity is pretty sweet.

I too had trouble with the concept that the internet was more than Jalopnik, but there is a whole realm of cat videos just waiting to be discovered!

YouTube Channel?

Mmm, equal-length header goodness.

If she’d had a manual the car would have never made it over the first curb.

I think it is just a little timey-wimey, wibbly-wobbly.

Anything Swiss. In all of my travels, I have never been on nicer trains or buses than the ones in Switzerland. And, but just a hair, the Bernese public transit system is the best. Those Swiss-Germans are punctual, clean, and (if you’re from out of town and staying in a hostel or hotel) free.

But how could he be test driving a Méhari in 1972 when it was only imported to the US in 1969 and 1970? The plot thickens...

I once received a 2003 Blazer from my grandfather that had basically been sitting for 5 years. It spent so long parked that the valve springs were permanently compressed in some spots, and they all had to be replaced. I also replaced the engine (spun lower bearing) and transmission within 10k miles. After that I sold…
