A people carrier with a VR6 engine makes no rational sense. The Sharan was designed for space and comfort, not for sound or response. Yet Volkswagen installed its compact six-cylinder into it anyway. The VR6 arrived later in the model’s production life in the second phase, and despite the... show more

Volkswagen Golf R32, Mk4. The engine made it special: 3.2 VR6. That sound alone is enough, at the time, this was a super hot hatch. The whole car felt more premium with aluminium accents, R badging, solid build quality. Everything felt built properly. Even things like xenon headlights were standard and electronics we're standard for mirrors, windows. You could get it with a 6-speed manual or DSG.

The C126 500SEC was introduced at the 1981, two years after the saloon. Bruno Sacco's design team built it as a distinct car rather than simply a shortened S-Class - lower stance, pillarless side windows with frameless glass, elongated doors, and no B-pillar between front and rear. Under the bonnet was the M117 5.0L V8 producing 231 PS in the early cars, later updated to 245 PS for the second series from 1986, with the engine revised again to 261 PS by 1988. The 500SEC was always the most expensive non AMG W126 you could buy during the first series. When the second series arrived in 1985, it was joined by the 560SEC above it. A reviewer at the time described it precisely - it does not win you over with speed or handling, it exudes quality, and there is arguably no post-1980 Mercedes that makes driving or arriving as much of an event. Grand touring in the truest sense. A car built for distance, for elegance, and for the pleasure of knowing exactly what you are sitting in.

In October 1984, Volkswagen launched the first AWD Passat only with the five-cylinder engine, and using an AWD system borrowed directly from Audi. The Syncro's drivetrain came from the Audi 80 Quattro rather than the simpler Golf Syncro system. The 2.0L five-cylinder produced 115 PS. The 2.2L option added 136 PS. In North America, the car was sold as the Volkswagen Quantum Syncro. VW's own press material at the time described it as ideal for people who experience long winters and need a large cargo space for work or leisure. The whole system is purely mechanical with center and rear locking difs with knobs that can lock either one for extreme road conditions. When first shown at the 1983 Frankfurt Motor Show, the car was meant to be called the Passat Tetra. The Syncro name stuck. A family estate with quattro's DNA, wearing a VW badge - most people drove past it without ever knowing.

F10 528i from 2010-11 carried a naturally aspirated six into a modern executive body. The N52’s 3.0 litres delivered around 255 hp with a smooth, linear build that matched the car’s relaxed character. When BMW replaced it with the N20 turbo version, the badge stayed but the personality changed. It tolerated city use, long motorway runs and indifferent fuel better, without the heat and complexity that arrived later. For daily ownership the naturally aspirated 528i remains the quieter, simpler interpretation of what a mid-range 5 Series should be. If you are looking to get one, just know in EU it was N53 powered in all of the NA 6 cylinder cars. And its not better.

French beauty 1939 Delahaye Type 165 Cabriolet Coachwork by Figoni & Falaschi - Delahaye only built six 12-cylinder Type 165 models in the late 1930s, as production variants of the successful Type 145 competition car. This stunning Figoni et Falaschi-bodied cabriolet was built to represent France at the 1939 New York World’s Fair, an exposition promoted with the slogan “Dawn of a New Day”. While the engine was not completed in time for its display, the modernity and sublime beauty of this car’s flowing styling drew throngs of admirers from the press and public alike. Emile Delahaye was born in Tours, France in 1843. He studied engineering in Angers, France. In 1869 he began work with his engineering degree in applied arts and crafts. Emile Delahaye began business in Tours, France in the middle of 19th Century for the purpose of constructing engines for the ceramic industry. The company branched out and began constructing mechanical appliances such as pumps and engines. In 1888, Delahaye designed an internal combustion engine for the shipping industry. It was not until 1896 that Automobile production began for Delahaye. His first automobiles produced were powered by belt-driven single and twin cylinder engines. Emile used motor racing to promote his vehicles. In 1896, Emile Delahaye entered the Paris-Marseilles race. Not only did he enter a vehicle his company had created, but he entered as the driver. The results were astounding, which truly speaks highly of the caliber and quality of the automobile. The demand for the vehicles began pouring-in and a second factory was opened. After the racing success of its Type 145, Delahaye created the production version, the 12-cylinder Type 165. Two Type 165s were built, and the first was shown in October 1939 at the Paris Auto Salon, the last salon before the war. The second 165 – this cabriolet, with body by Figoni and Falaschi, was so emblematic of 1930s French design that it represented the nation at the 1939 New York World’s Fair. Shipped without an engine because it could not be built in time for the show, an engine sheel, without internals was used instead. The engine-less body was impounded by US Customs when Europe became embroiled in WWII. With Europe engulfed by war by the World’s Fair’s close in 1940, the U.S. Custom’s impounded the Delahaye in New York for the duration of the conflicts. In 1946 Beverly Hills car dealer Roger Barlow purchased the car at public auction, and later that year the Type 165 was fitted with a tuned Cadillac engine. Following his death, it was abandoned by his widow in the 1970s and sold to a tow-truck driver for $1200. After three decades of trading hands at a public auction and receiving a Cadillac engine, it eventually wound up at a used car lot in Honolulu until it was bought by a US military serviceman. It took four years of negotiation, but Peter Mullin and Jim Hull eventually purchased the car in 1985 and spearheaded its restoration. The original engine sheel was tracked back to Count Hubertus von Doenhoff and bought. New engine internals were created from original drawings to finally give the 165 the fully-working engine it was intended to have. This car is now owned by Peter and Merle Mullin and the Peter Mullin Automotive Museum Foundation, where is its displayed in Oxnard, California. © Cars & Motorbikes Stars of the Golden Era #archaeohistories

Very much unheard of for its time. Songs in the Key of Life was so huge that Motown came up with a novel idea to promote it by outfitting a bus in Sydney, Australia with a sound system and played the album in its entirety to the delight (and sometimes annoyance) of passengers. It was called the Wonderbus.

In the late 1990s, Rolls-Royce needed a new engine. The old pushrod V8 that had powered their cars for decades could no longer meet European emissions regulations. Rolls-Royce's went looking for a supplier and BMW stepped forward with something specific, a 5.4L aluminium alloy V12, built exclusively for this car. The M73 engine, the same unit from the BMW 750i, 850i, was adapted for the Silver Seraph with a five-speed ZF automatic gearbox. It produced 326 PS and made the Silver Seraph the first Rolls-Royce with a twelve-cylinder engine since the 1939 Phantom III. It was also the first Rolls-Royce ever designed using computer-aided design software. The body was 65% stiffer than the car it replaced. And then, while the Silver Seraph was still in production, BMW acquired Rolls-Royce entirely. The engine supplier became the owner.

In China, a famous dog was stolen and sold for meat for $27 The border collie named Choutou, whose life was followed by more than 1.5 million people on Chinese TikTok, was kidnapped while its owner was away. As it later turned out, the dog was sold to a middleman for just $27. Choutou then ended up in a restaurant, where it was killed and prepared as food. The owner had offered the thief around $1,400 to return the pet, but it was already too late. The Independent reports that the story sparked outrage in China and reignited debate about animal protection. Despite some city-level bans, there is still no nationwide law protecting dogs and cats in the country. The most disturbing part is that for the thief, Choutou was a $27 dog. For the owner, it was a friend he had traveled across the country with.

I have been seeing this video for days and tried to not comment on it but my guy here has a following and was on Richie’s podcast as well. First of all, none of what he said is true and it is verifiable By the context he presented it, it is fair to say the NLM was not necessarily ‘Asantes’ even though the party was set up by Baffour Osei Akoto who was the Asantehene’s Okyeame and some Asante chiefs and prominent men. The NLM (or Asantes) were asking for federal system because they felt a central government could mess up the riches/resources in their territory. You have to remember they were the leading producers of cocoa in the Gold Coast at the time…together with the Eastern territory. They also feared a central government could become authoritarian and take ‘rogue’ decisions (which eventually happened). The northern (region) supported this also for their own reasons and there prominent people from other tribes that supported it too… It had nothing to do with regions. How would not getting a region (that was essentially existent by then) be a problem for independence anyway?…Makes no sense, no correlation whatsoever

The 525e was designed at a time when power was no longer the only thing that mattered. The e stands for eta, the Greek letter used in thermodynamics to denote efficiency. BMW took the M20 2.0L petrol engine, stroked it to 2.7L, and optimised it not for peak power but for maximum torque at the lowest possible RPM. The result was 125 PS, almost identical to the 520i alongside it, but with 240 Nm available from just 3,250 RPM, which was more low-end torque than even the turbocharged 524td diesel at the time. 0-100 km/h in around 11 seconds is honest about what it is. What those numbers don't tell you is that the 525e pulls from 1,500 RPM, cruises at motorway speeds without working, and does it all with the inherent smoothness of a naturally aspirated inline-six that simply cannot be replicated by a diesel or a four-cylinder. Fuel consumption ended up being somewhere around 8 to 9 L/100 km and with a 70 L fuel tank the car could even do 1000 km trips. BMW sold it with a very long final drive ratio specifically to keep revs low at speed. It was designed for people who drove and appreciated the journey rather than the sprint. A slow BMW that is genuinely enjoyable, in the most honest way a BMW can be.

A Volkswagen supercar was built, tested, and even broke records, but it never made it to production. VW created three W12 concepts the 1997 coupe, a 1998 roadster, and the 2001 W12 Nardo, named after the track where it would eventually make history. The original 5.6 liter W12 with 414 horsepower evolved into the 6.0 liter, 591 horsepower monster in the 2001 car. That Nardo prototype ran for 24 hours straight, covering 7,749 kilometers at an average of 200.6 mph and smashing five world records, twelve class records, and the overall 24 hour speed record. Why it never reached production is unclear. Most likely VW figured the market for a Volkswagen badged supercar was too small, and the technology was better used by Bentley and Audi instead.

#WATCH | Delhi | Senior Advocate S Balan, counsel for PFI leaders, says, "...If you look at the FIR, Column No. 4, which indicates the scene of occurrence, it is blank. Even the date of occurrence is left blank. This is a case manufactured by the State for reasons best known to it, targeting a particular community. The PFI was registered under the Societies Registration Act, and all its transactions and activities were open. It is a secular organisation, yet it has been projected as a terrorist organisation. The fact remains that when these accused were arrested, the PFI was a legal organisation. It was banned only later, and even then, it was declared an unlawful organisation, not a terrorist organisation. Therefore, when the organisation was legal, all its activities were lawful. There were no unlawful activities anywhere in the State of Delhi. The accused are from different states, yet they are being prosecuted for the same cause of action. There were six cases registered, and all the documents are common. The same document appears in Chennai, the same document appears in Patna, and the same document appears here. This is what we call the doctrine of sameness. For one act, there cannot be six charge sheets. But, peculiarly, in this case, six charge sheets have been filed despite there being no event at all. It is all imaginary...This is a case built on imagination..."

Today, air raid sirens across Ukraine have sounded almost the entire day. Overnight, there was yet another Russian attack with missiles and drones—ballistic strikes and more than 140 attack drones in a single night. It was loud in Kyiv and in other cities. Tragically, there are wounded and killed. My condolences to all the families affected. Rescue efforts continue all day in Kharkiv, Sumy, and the capital. It is entirely fair that the Russian sky—the sky of the aggressor—is not calm either today. Ukraine’s proposal for a ceasefire of at least 30 days still stands, we are not withdrawing it, as it offers a real chance for diplomacy. But it is Russia that the world sees giving no answer—no response except for new strikes. This clearly and obviously shows who is the source of this war. Russia must end its aggression—and it will have to. The only question is time. War is a loss for everyone, including the aggressor.
