Station wagons are often frowned upon in tuner circles as grocery getter projects that got out of hand. Not so much with this build. In North America, AUDI USA has blessed us by not releasing the B5 RS4 version of the ever popular S4 on our continent. Naturally some people just don’t take no for an answer. We can thank Adam McCarthy from Denver, Colorado for providing us with a good idea, on what exactly we’ve missed over on this side of the pond.

Take an alphabet soup of modification that resulted in 530hp on the dyno. Add the custom made all steel widebody kit grafted onto the donor car with clinical precision. The 19”x10” BBS CH wheels, which provide a deep dish effect wrapped with 265/50/19 Toyo rubber.

You get one killer grocery getter, which I wouldn’t mind driving to the supermarket anyday.

Thanks to some embargo breaking that’s already occurred, we’ve known for a week that the 2011 Ford Mustang GT would pack a brand new 5.0-liter V8 producing 412 horsepower and 390 pound-feet of torque. We thought those tidbits might hold over the internet ’till the official embargo date lifts early next week, but we were wrong and therefore are still awake at 1:30 AM on Christmas morning writing this post. Thanks to Jalopnik via MustangHeaven via BurlappCars, we have the first images of the 2011 Mustang GT and its new 5.0-liter V8.

You can read more about some of the engine’s details that have already leaked here, but let’s just take a look see at what we’ve got. Kudos to Ford for leaving the engine’s tippy top unadorned and we also dig those 5.0 badges on the engine and fenders. Nostalgia FTW

The Honda NSX might be gone, but it’s set to live on as the HSV-10 GT in Japan’s SuperGT championship.

Although we don’t have an official release or specs yet, we do have the image above and some preliminary details on the HSV-10 GT or Velocity Sports Honda. Built to the 2010 GT500 regulations, the new front/mid-engine racer from Honda is packing a 500+ hp, 3.4-liter V8 and sending power through the same Ricardo sequential manual gearbox fitted to the 2010 SuperGT cars from Nissan and Toyota. Underneath all that glorious carbon fiber is the same chassis Honda’s been working on (originally as an NSX replacement) for the last two years. The SuperGT season opener is scheduled for March 20 and 21 of 2010, but we expect more details and a host of high-res images to hit soon. Stay tuned…
