The Finest Wines of California

Trying to write a book covering the current status of the California wine industry isn't easy. Such a book will never be comprehensive unless the end product runs thousands of pages. Trying to write a survey of the world of...

2012 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Roadster Spied

Back in October, we saw a more camo-tastic version of Benz?s droptop SLS AMG. Now the roadster?clipped gullwings and all?has been spotted practically naked, lapping the Nürburgring with only a few slabs of tape obscuring its three-pointed stars. As we mentioned then, don?t expect much to change in the motivation department. The 563-horse 6.2-liter V-8?perhaps [...]

Q & A With iWCSRR Racer Luke McLean

With true Aussie grit, Luke McLean found his way onto the roll-call of iRacing.com World Championship Series Road Racing winners following a hard-fought victory at his ‘home’ circuit Phillip Island.

Top 5 Underdog Wine Varieties

There are a lot of wine grapes that don’t get their due but there are five that I think should get some more respect. And I’m going to do something about it by not just pointing them out here but also reviewing wines made from these grapes on the blog and podcast. The wine world [...]

Audi announces Pole2Pole expedition

Filed under: ,

audi pole2pole expedition

The North Pole and the South Pole are separated by over 12,000 miles, and Swedish explorer Johan Ernst Nilson wants to traverse that distance within 12 months. To do so, he wants to go carbon-neutral, and Audi has partnered up with Nilson to help make sure he accomplishes his goal.

Called the Pole2Pole Expedition, Nilson plans to go from the North Pole to the South Pole in six stages. Nilson's means of transportation will be skis, a dog-sled, sailboat, bicycle and kite-sled. Audi has provided a light-weight sled that will allow Nilson to transport his equipment as he nears the southern pole, and the automaker has also offered up its test facility so Nilson can ensure that it will withstand the harsh conditions to which it'll be subjected. The test facility is capable of recreating freezing temperatures and vicious wind, two of many environmental hazards awaiting Nilson on his trip.

In addition to the carbon-fiber sled and cold-weather testing, Audi has supplied a Q5 that will serve as a support vehicle as Nilson treks across the Americas. The Q5 spews CO2 so the team will work to offset the difference and keep the expedition carbon neutral.

Check out the press release after the jump for more on Johan Ernst Nilson's Pole2Pole expedition.
