What do you get when Porsche adds an ‘S’ to the end of a badge? How does an additional 50hp and 75lbs-ft torque (in overboost) sound? This is the Panamera that you should aspire too. Forget the normally aspirated plane Jane Panamera. Walk right past the Panamera Turbo, and go directly to the ‘S’. Oh, and don’t forget to deposit an additional $50k.

It’s the biggest, it’s the best, its the baddest, it’s H2O International, and it’s coming back to Ocean City, Maryland in less than six weeks. If chemistry class is the first thing that comes to mind when you hear H2O, check out our article about last years event. Then, get your travel plans in order and your car registered, because this is one show you can’t miss. Hundreds of fellow dubbers will be making the trek from all over the country to take part in one of the premier VAG events of the year.  Celebrating their 14th year, this H2O looks to be the best yet. As always we will be out in force covering H2O, we’re already counting down the days.

Active Autowerke’s second high quality showcase video “Another Shade of M” shows off two beautiful project E92 M3′s, one sporting some eye-popping lime green. This joint project combines top products in the industry to achieve perfection. The paint and body-work was done by Martino Auto Concepts, the wheels are from ADV.1, and the rest was all Active’s doing. The attention to detail on these cars is second to none. Every part of the car color matches properly down to the green carbon fiber weave. While no official numbers have been released, I’m sure these M3′s have power to match their style. The video is outstanding, artfully edited to showcase every aspect of the two M3′s while keeping it exciting and fresh. “Another Shade of M” is another stroke of brilliance in euro-auto film.

It seems that every few weeks I’m back on here posting a new Drifting video from Eastern Europe, and this week is no exception. Although they may not have the budgets of a Ken Block or Tanner Faust, the cars they run are dope and the videography tops anything I have seen out of the states. This video comes out of Warsaw, Poland covering an event called Night Drift that can only be described as the Fast and the Furious brought to life. Night Drift gives off a cool vibe of legal underground racing that I think the U.S. could definitely use.

This is for the Executives out there. The subtle design change is a refreshment to the aging A6 line. The previous Audi A6 Avant’s proportions were a bit whale looking in my opinion, but now that Audi’s current design guide has worked its way to the A6, the whale looks more like a Tiger Shark…

Looks like DTM is heating up for 2012. With the recent unveiling of BMW’s M3 DTM, Audi has decided to release their conquering Audi A4 DTM replacement with the new Audi A5 DTM (code name: R17).  It will be exciting to see if BMW can challenge the Audi’s which have dominated the series since 2004.

With only 150 examples slated for a small group of fortunate Aston Martin connoisseurs, there is no better proving ground for the Aston Martin V12 Zagato than the 24 hours of Nurburgring. Nice catch at the 0:45 second mark, BTW.

This video highlights the proof positive of the fact that this Porsche 911 GT2 RS belongs on anyone’s supercar list. “Jeff Zwart, seven-time Pikes Peak Champion” drives the Porsche from Santa Ana, CA to Pikes Peak, throws some sponsors stickers on and blasts up the hill to set a new record. WTF?
