V-8s turn up in the oddest places



What's more American than putting V8s where they don't belong? As we head toward the Independence Day holiday, let's take a few minutes to partake in that other great American repast, wasting time on YouTube. TechEBlog has gone on a surf-fest and they've dug up some interesting adaptations of one our favorite powerplants. A Hemi-powered barbeque certainly has merit, now that the summer grilling season is upon us; them's some fast burgers! Our favorite is the paper V8 with internals that actually move. Once they figure out how to get it to hold a combustion event, it'll be the ultimate lightweight block. Forestry will move at a faster pace now that there's a V8 powered chainsaw to make quick work of that pesky old growth forest. The list is altogether too short; we want to see more V8s where you'd least expect them.

Mesh with Success: In.Pro's Audi A6 grill

Some love it, others hate it, but everyone must concede that the dominant deep grill that has formed Audi's new corporate image is a distinctive styling feature. In.Pro takes the look a step further with its emblem-less mesh grill that gives the A6 an even bolder front fascia.

The look of In.Pro's aftermarket grill is thoroughly modern, but draws its inspiration from the Auto Union race cars that dominated competition in the 1930's.

Beyond imbuing your Audi with extra style, the stainless-steel grill also conducts more cool air into the engine bay than the standard one. The diamond-pattern mesh forms a strong and durable shape with a chrome frame and installs real easy-like.

We'll take ours on the front of a V10 Gallardo-powered S6, thank you very much.

Subaru to pull a Jackson and undergo another nose job



Subaru's "propeller grill" has been received by both the media and the public with, to put it lightly, mixed feelings. Well, the automaker's parent company, Fuji Heavy Industries, has decided to put the kibosh on it and ordered a redesign.

According to spokesman David Rowley of Subaru, the grill will not be applied to the upcoming Liberty and Outback, which will debut in Australia in September. The upcoming Impreza, due out in 2007, will also be sporting a new proboscis. States Rowley, "It's fair to say the design will not appear on future Subarus. We had always said the aerospace theme could be applied in a variety of ways, like the way it's been presented on the Impreza and Tribeca."

Rowley would not state what the new design will be for future Subies. However, it will be based on work from (now ex-) Subaru chief designer Andreas Zapatinas. Zapatinas, as you may remember, had previously designed cars for both Alfa Romeo and Fiat.
