Audi is known for making some quick fucking cars. Between the R8, RS4 and S4 Cabriolet, the German auto manufacturer is looking to up the ante with it’s 2009 RS6. Giving the RS4 treatment to the A6, the RS6 will feature a powerful 580 hp V10 engine that’s funneled air from twin flamethrowers turbochargers. Zero to sixty will only take 4.5 seconds and the top speed is electronically limited to 155 MPH. Add in 19-inch wheels and a ceramic brake system and you’ve got one of the most powerful cars on the road. Ferrari who?

Volkswagen owners are really passionate about their cars. My buddy Raymond owns a GTI and puts like $10,000 into it each year. That’s a lot of money, so why not go for something a little more affordable? For $120, you can score this 1626 piece VW Beetle LEGO kit.

Based on a 1960 ‘Charlotte’ model, the VW is 16″ long and features moving parts and doors that open and close. I think that for $120, it’s a steal. You and your pals will have fun getting drunk and building it. That is, until you lose that one piece.

Car companies are trying every day to get our minds off of high gas prices and onto things like alternative fuels and concept designs. Volkswagen is the latest car manufacturer to release a slew of concept renderings and this time, it’s a blast from the….future? These three vehicles are supposed to be what cars will look like in the year 2028, which is 20 years from now.

Above, you’ll see the Ego, a sporty two-seater with crazy futuristic styling and plenty of technology. There’s a driverless vehicle called the VW Room that is designed to hold your entire family and promote interactivity. As one would expect, these vehicles don’t use gasoline. Hit the jump for more pictures of VW’s envision of the future of the automobile.

We’ve seen a super cool case mod themed after a V8 engine, but never one that shows love to the German Volkswagen (which means “people’s car” for all of you Nazi sympathizers). The VW case mod is no short stack, resembling closer a VW bus than a Beetle.

The VW case was showed off at CES at the Cooler Master booth, which also showed a few other snazzy cases, but nothing as exciting as the VW. What’s the only thing that could have made this case cooler? Rotating rims, of course. — Andrew Dobrow
