0Video: Watch this Audi transform into a moving picture show 1326848400
Though we still can't explain the technology, we're becoming big fans of projection mapping, as can also be seen in this video that has also been featured on these pages. From what we can gather, a Russian marketing team called Radugadesign was behind this production, and we can only assume that ...

Official: Lada gears up for racing campaign with new Granta Sport 1325768340
Lada? Racing? We've got to be kidding, right? Only we're not. While the Russian automaker may not have the motorsport pedigree of, say, Ferrari or Porsche, there's reason enough to believe it's getting serious. One reason is its new corporate cousins at the Renault-Nissan Alliance, which owns ...

Official: Lada steps out of the Cold (War Era) with new Granta budget sedan 1325107800
It's not every day that Lada comes out with a new car. In fact, the Samara – which the model you see here is set to replace – has been on the market pretty much unchanged since 1997. (And that's not even their oldest model: the Niva 4x4 has been out there since 1977.) So the launch of ...

Video: Russian tuner squeezes 1,000 horsepower into a Fiat Coupe 1319749020
You may remember a fun little hatchback called the Fiat Panda 100HP. All it took was a hundred horsepower to turn a ho-hum supermini into what European editors knew and loved as one of their favorite driving machines. That was a little overshadowed by the Fiat 500 that offers the same powertrain, ...

Video: How to start a car with a dead battery without jumper cables 1319050680
Here's a handy trick: Say you find yourself in the middle of nowhere with a dead battery and no way to roll-start your vehicle. What do you do? If you happen to have enough rope lying around (or belts, for that matter), you can conceivably lift the drive axles, wrap the rope around a tire and ...

Video: How to use a BMW 5 Series as a cord winder 1317769200
Conventional wisdom dictates that if you set out to make a MacGyver video to post on YouTube, you must have a roll of duct tape. Or a pack of chewing gum. At the very least, a pocket knife. We're not sure if these Russian guys had any of the aforementioned items – heck, we're not even sure ...

Report: Nissan moves on plans to revive Datsun nameplate as budget sub-brand 1317738660
Plans are reportedly progressing to bring back Datsun. Wait, what? Wasn't Datsun just the name of Nissan before it became Nissan? Why yes, yes it was. But the Japanese automaker is – as we initially reported back in July – planning on dipping back into its own history to launch a ...

Video: Band on the run rocks Russia's freeways with crazy motorcycle 1317659460
The desire to listen to tunes on the road has led to all sorts of innovations. It's where Motorola got its start, it's where eight-tracks lived and died, it was the impetus for the invention of satellite radio... But this, this is something new. Evidently tired of playing in their parents' ...
