Audi has chosen a vampire theme for its Super Bowl television commercials. Things start to look a bit grim when the party runs out of blood. But a fresh new night time delivery is on its way, delivered by an Audi, if course. What could possibly go wrong?

Kia has taken a leaf from the Jeremy Clarkson book of advertising for its Big Game Day Super Bowl XVLI television commercial. There’s loud music, Motley Crüe no less, explosions and, of course, Adriana Lima. Making sure they got bang for buck with the supermodel they have also upload a five hour video showcasing Lima’s [...]

You may have noticed we’re suckers for a Porsche 911 video here at AUSmotive. With this clip Porsche tugs at the heartstrings by taking us back to where it all began, before bringing us back to the present day with the 991 911.

Last year Volkswagen hit the jackpot with its Super Bowl ad featuring a junior Darth Vader. To date the YouTube clip has had over 49.5 million views. This year the German giant strikes back with an overweight dog and a Beetle. We can’t see this ad having the same cut through and its only the [...]

Next up on the Super Bowl XLVI ad reel is Jerry Seinfeld and his crusade to become the very first owner of the new Acura/Honda NSX. The NSX concept was the star of the recent Detroit Motor Show and it’s a shame Jerry, and others, will have to wait until around 2015 to get their [...]

The US is gearing up for Super Bowl XLVI this Sunday. For gearheads, as the yanks call us, that means a piston of new car-related television commercials (nice collective noun that, a piston). One of the first to be released features Matthew Broderick and his Honda CR-V. The concept isn’t exactly original, but if you’re [...]

The Nissan GT-R is quite something. It’s big, it’s heavy, but at the same time it’s as sharp as a knife. Like Rafa Nadal winning an unwinnable point, how do they do it? In MY12 spec the GT-R can sprint to 100km/h in under three seconds. Time after time, after time. Crank and Piston have [...]

Legendary hot rod designer and manufacturer Chip Foose is a Volkswagen fan. Well, so he says in this promo from Volkswagen US released to build some hot hatch hype for the Golf R. The US market has only recently received the Golf R, which seems to be an odd decision to say the least. Why [...]

Graphic design and racing cars. They’re two things we very much like here at AUSmotive, so a book about both has to be a winner, surely. We think so. Sven Voelker is the man we have to thank for the book Go faster: The graphic design of racing cars. He explains his thoughts and a [...]

In Chris Harris’ latest video he is reporting from the passenger seat of a very desirable and very rare McLaren F1 GTR. We’re not entirely sure why he didn’t mention the owner’s name, especially as we get a clear look at the owner’s face and is easy enough to track down online. Anyway, that matters [...]

Chris Harris is perhaps the closest thing magazine journos have to a bona fide celebrity; that is he hasn’t gained his popularity on the back of a TV program or the like. Mostly he’s earned his reputation, and following, on the back of his writing, some part-time racing and a lot of sideways action. In [...]

Yesterday we brought you a video showing a Porsche 911 GT3 RS 4.0 where the party piece was its rapid deceleration from 330km/h. Here, we bring you some on board footage filmed in 2009 showing the devastating acceleration of a Top Fuel dragster. The dials you see in frame were added digitally for effect and [...]

Here’s a cracking video that gives us a great look at one of the best Mk1 Golfs in Australia. The car is an Australian built 1975 three door owned by Stuart French. It’s fair to say the mod factor is off the scale compared to AUSmotive’s own 1980 Mk1 Golf GTI, which is in good [...]

Here’s a brief video showing the Alfa Romeo TZ3 Stradale by Zagato. The clip starts off in Zagato’s factory near Milan and ends up with some tame driving footage. Looks like they may have been taking photos and capturing video for promotional puposes. There’s only going to be nine of these cars built, so while [...]

Chris Harris from Evo magazine has a strong relationship with Porsche which has enabled him great access to Andreas Preuninger, Head of GT Cars. Using that relationship Harris recorded this interview with Preuninger in which the pair discuss the finer points of the limited edition 911 GT3 RS 4.0. It’s a good insight and details [...]
