A $215,000 Snow Shower

It’s a 2014 Audi R8 V10 plus Coupé.

A 5.2 L engine, outputting 550 hp and 398 lbs-ft, 0 to 100km in 3.5 seconds, and a top speed of 319 km/h.

Driving is Motoring TV‘s Russ Bond, I’ve introduced you before.

We were at a Young Driver’s event on Sunday.

Paul Reid was there too, capturing better quality footage for Motoring, while I captured a nice photo of Paul.

Which I’m good at; ha Paul, that photo is still funny.

 

 

The 2014 Cadillac CTS Launch Party

The CTS is often called “GM’s best car”, and has a huge fan base.

I can’t say much more, I’ve not yet driven it.

The car won’t be released until the end of this year, so details are not final.

2014 Cadillac CTS (USA site)
Starting at $50,895 -ish

2 engines: 2.0L Turbo 272 hp / 3.6L V6 321 hp

I can confirm it was a great party and crowd, and packed.

Hosted at the Shangri-La Hotel in Toronto, GM shut down University Avenue the Sunday before, to crane the car onto the roof, ha. See photos of that on George’s blog, the PR guy at GM.

PR pals: that’s a custom-bow-tie-making-station, that went over really well.

Ran into the Motoring TV gang, welcome to my blog guys!

That’s Motoring cameraman Paul Reid, and ahaha, ha that photo.
