Audi R8 E-tron (2012) sets new 'Ring record

Audi has set a new electric road car lap record of 8:09:099 minutes around the Nurburgring Nordschleife in Germany. The fully electric supercar isn't just a concept though - it's gearing up for sales before the end of 2012. How did the R8 E-tron lap the 'Ring so fast?

The Manx makes it!

After 1,300 miles, 96 hours, two engines, three transmissions, a busted exhaust, a bent shifter, a stuck throttle, countless bottles of water, much swearing and the looming threat of heat exhaustion, Bruce Meyers and the Meyers Manx Race Team buggy drove through the finish line at the town square of San Jose Del Cabo and completed the damn 2014 NORRA Mexican 1000 once and for all. Finally -- for Meyers' and the number 1964 buggy's first time -- they had successfully navigated the Baja Peninsula and finished under their own power. The poor Meyers Manx Dual Sport was looking worse for the wear when it streamed into town at 5:30 p.m.

Audi RS5 – Spy shots show it’s close

The Audi RS5 with its active boot spoiler on view [ad#ad-1] The last time we saw the Audi RS5 out testing at the Nurburgring, it appeared to be pretty much undisguised. The video we had earlier of the RS5 (which has now been removed by YouTube) showed the RS5 lapping the Nurburgring at a fair lick. But it would appear that the car we saw then still had something to hide – a trick rear spoiler.
