Mercedes-AMG had another strong showing and a 1-2 finish but they received a rather large gift from Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel who locked up and hit a wall while leading the race. Rain came pouring in and some cars were caught with the wrong tires. ...Published on 07-18-2018 07:22 PM
If you want take your Volkswagen MKVII Golf R to the next level then you definitely want to look into the Syvecs PNP (Plug and Play) standalone ECU offering. It is based on their successful S6 Plus unit which can handle just about anything you can think of doing. ...Published on 07-18-2018 02:01 AM
It is nice to see something different from HRE. The company has some of the best looking wheels on the market but the designs have not seen any real styling evolution in some time. In come sthe RS3 series with interesting twisted-spoke styling. ...Published on 07-11-2018 08:23 PM
Many of us have loud exhausts on our cars. Imagine you are out enjoying your car and someone comes up and kicks it because the exhaust is too loud. How would you react? Well, the Asian actor who owns this particular R8 decided to kick some ass. ...Published on 07-09-2018 05:31 PM
The British Grand Prix was exciting and one of the better races of the 2018 calendar year thus far. Ferrari and Mercedes-AMG had at it again proving whomever is going to come out on top at the end is really going to have to earn it and perhaps have some luck involved. ...Published on 06-26-2018 06:22 PM
Nobody is shocked to learn that Volkswagen set a new record with their I.D. R Pikes Peak hill climb car making the sprint to the top in 7:57 (breaking the record by 16 seconds). The goal was to take the record and the all-electric car did so as expected. Does the I.D. R really maintain the spirit of the Pikes Peak hill climb though? ...Published on 06-26-2018 01:22 PM
The French Grand Prix was interesting mostly due to the carnage from the first lap. Mercedes-AMG qualified 1-2 with Hamilton in front but Bottas was clipped going into an early turn by Sebastian Vettel which essentially relegated both Bottas and Vettel to the back of the pack. ...Published on 06-23-2018 09:51 AM
We finally get to see the I.D R Pikes Peak in action at Pikes Peak. As you know Volkswagen is going for the Pikes Peak hillclimb record with their electric beast. They will get it considering the electric drivetrain will not suffer from elevation like an internal combustion motor. ...Published on 06-20-2018 06:12 AM
As you likely know Toyota won the 2018 24 Hours of Le Mans and Fernando Alonso was one of the drivers for the winning Toyota TS050 Hybrid. Toyota is going to celebrate the victory in style but just look at Fernando Alonso make his way through the field. ...Published on 06-12-2018 09:43 PM
Did you manage to make it through the 2018 Formula 1 Canadian Grand Prix? I didn't. I fell asleep. I had to finish watching it today. Maybe it was the wine but it was really more the racing or rather lack thereof. Formula 1 is trying to bring in new fans with their ESPN deal and I am one of those new fans. ...Published on 06-01-2018 07:00 PM
As many readers of BoostAddict have German cars and plan to purchase German cars this is concerning. Then again, you could say German automakers have taken advantage of the US market for some time with one-sided deals favoring them. ...Published on 05-31-2018 10:03 PM
This is the rumor being pushed by AutoExpress.co.uk and they are hardly what you would call reliable. Still, it makes sense the next gen Golf R would be over four-hundred horsepower from a 2.0 liter four-cylinder. ...Published on 05-30-2018 08:22 PM
The performance hatchback segment in the USA really picked up when Ford announced the Focus RS would be sold domestically for the first time in its history. Things really ramped up when Honda announced the Civic Type R would come to the US for the fist time ever. ...Published on 05-23-2018 07:02 PM
Have a MKVII Golf R or Audi S3 sedan and want to uncork some of the sound from the 2.0 turbo? Well, APR has you covered with their new catback exhaust system. This system uses the oem-style clamps and is a completely bolt in affair. ...Published on 05-19-2018 11:31 AM
Holy crap. As reported a few days ago this MKVII Volkswagen Golf R produces 740 crank horsepower courtesy of an Audi 2.5 TFSI I5 swap and some tuning from MRC Tuning. They decided to take it to the track to see what it can do. ...
