NEW Video! Exploring The Perks Of Luxury In An Audi RS7 (Overview n' Drive)

In this video, we check out one of Audi’s modern blessings to the car world: the Audi RS7. The current version is based on the second generation of the A7 and is obviously the top-of-the-range model. It’s powered by a 4.0 litre, twin-turbo V8 pushing 630 hp @6000 rpm, and max torque of an insane 850 N-m @4500 rpm. Add to that the legendary Quattro AWD system, and you get a 0-100 kph time of 3.5 seconds… in a sedan! This particular RS7 has 40,000 Euros in optional extras, such as ceramic brakes, and a special-order, Pearl-effect paint job that’s black like in the video and navy blue under the sun. Amongst other goodies, you get carbon fiber grounds effects, Nappa leather interior mixed with Alcantara, aluminum and carbon trim, laser headlights, Bang and Olufsen sound system, it’s fully decked-out, to say the least. So without further, let’s go for a tour and let that twin-turbo V8 sing!




The Forgotten Origins Of The Word "Jeep"


Since SUVs have taken over the majority of the new car market in 2021, the term "Jeep" has become more commonplace than ever before. Even if it had been used to describe a wide variety of military vehicles in the late 30's, it was in 1941 that the word received the meaning we're now all familiar with; a small, 1/4 ton four-wheel-drive vehicle. It's easy to think of "Jeep" as a technical acronym, though you'd be pleasantly surprised (I hope haha) to discover that it's simply named after... a cartoon character from Popeye, of all things! Eugene the Jeep is a magical, cat-like creature living on a tree next to Popeye's house. He's super versatile, capable of making objects and himself appear and disappear, or even travel, in literally a blink of an eye. In short, he's a super cute yellow Yoda that says "Jeep-Jeep" all the time. This probably makes Jeep the only car manufacturer, in the world, named after a cartoon character. Don't believe me? Check out this short episode of how Eugene the Jeep entered Popeye's life and became a better guardian than a pack of Pitbulls!
