Our picture man, Chris Amos, is at it again, this time with a Quick Drive video of the luxurious Hyundai Equus. The film does a great job of showing off some of the car’s unique details and healthy feature set. Have a look below.
This week we take you on a short tour of the 2011 Mini Countryman. For this video, we left the Countryman in sport mode (hence all the pops and burbles from the exhaust).
In case you haven’t noticed yet, we here at Winding Road are trying like mad to get back into the swing of regular video production. Newly minted Multimedia Editor Chris Amos and the rest of the guys are all working towards bringing you new moving pictures each week.
The 2011 Audi A3 TDI is the subject of our latest video Quick Drive. Click through the video below to see the attractive oil-burner in action, and to hear the dulcet sounds of a 2.0-liter diesel at speed. Torquey fun.
Come along for the ride as we take Infiniti’s all new performance hybrid out for a spin around the block. A more stirring experience than most hybrids can manage, to be sure.
Last weekend was the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb. Before, nobody had ever completed the 12.42-mile run in under ten minutes. That ended on Sunday, when Nobuhiro “Monster” Tajima smashed his own world record, finishing in 9:51.278, all while dodging spectators, drifting through the dirt, and coming perilously close to driving off the mountain.
With the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb on Sunday, we’re getting into uphill mode. This week’s video comes from the FIA European Hill Climb Championship from 2004. In this video, Ander Vilariño practices at St Urssane Les Rangiers in Switzerland, and lucky for us, he saw fit to bring a camera on board.
Akrapovič Exhaust Systems Technology has some darned tasty videos that help to show off the sound of their products. We like them for the aural experience, of course, but also for the beautiful scenery, photography, and choice of automobiles being caned for the camera. This video features a Nissan 370Z with Akrapovič exhaust.
If you’re not excited that it’s Friday, maybe this will perk you up a bit. It’s the 550-horsepower Jaguar XKR-S at Portimão (Autódromo Internacional do Algarve) in Portugal. Make sure you have your speakers on or your headphones plugged in. The sound is beautiful.
Recently, we tested the BMW 1-Series M Coupe at the Monticello Motor Club in New York. We have that review up on our website, along with a track report of the South Course. For visual reference, we are sharing this video, which we took from the passenger seat on a recon lap before we were let loose to flog M cars.
Formula 1 drivers make it look easy, but take a close look at Nico Rosberg’s steering wheel, and piloting one of these cars is clearly a lot more complicated than one would imagine. In this video, Rosberg gives us a tour of his tiller, and explains what all those buttons and dials are for.
Happy Friday. Today, we bring you this most excellent, touching video tribute to one of the greatest Formula 1 drivers of all time, Ayrton Senna.
Another video to remember David E. Davis, Jr. In this short, the man drives “some of the best winding roads in the country” in an electric blue 2008 Audi RS4. Made in 2007, this video combines Davis’ eloquent style with some stunning driving footage.
As we remember David E. Davis, Jr., we would like to share this video wherein our former Editor-In-Chief sets the tone for future of Winding Road and talks of his passion for driving great cars on great roads. This video was made in 2006.
The British magazine Car got a crack behind the wheel of the new Ferrari FF in Italy. Driver Jethro Bovingdon was kind enough to film himself inside the cabin as he drives the rather expensive all-wheel-drive Ferrari into a curb.
Brabus has created an updated executive tuning package for the Mercedes-Benz S-Class with Apple’s iPad 2 tablet computer as its centerpiece, called the Brabus iBusiness 2.0. Plus, Brabus can drop in an 800-horsepower V-12, so you can conduct business (even video conferencing) at 219 miles per hour.
Oh, hey Friday! Where have you been? What’s that? You brought a video! Why, thank you, Friday.
Underground Racing has made a name for itself by twin-turbocharging cars that probably have no business being twin-turbocharged. We’re glad they do it, though.
Not only is the Renault R25 engine well-tuned for Formula 1, it can carry a tune. In this video from the 2006 Goodwood Festival Of Speed, the car plays “God Save The Queen” through RPM variation.
We’ll be honest; we were rooting for the fugitive by the end of this one. We don’t want to spoil the video for those of you who haven’t seen it, but the driver of this Mustang looks like he’s had some practice.
