How Wine Became Modern: Design Wine 1976 to Now; an SF MOMA Exhibit

The wine world can basically be compartmentalized into two worlds: The New World & The Old World. The Old World is France, and basically any other country within a trebuchet’s throw of France. Wines have been ratified by treaties, classified by region and not varietal, and are poured in chateaűs beckoning you with long dusty [...]

Renault says Petrov a different man

Renault boss Eric Boullier says Vitaly Petrov is a new man this year, after praising the Russian for grabbing sixth on the grid for the Australian Grand Prix. On the back of a difficult winter for Renault following Robert Kubica's rally crash, Petrov gave the Enstone-based team something to cheer about with a strong showing in Melbourne qualifying. And with Petrov having put in the best qualifying performance of his career, Boullier says that the progress his driver has made has been impressive.

GTI35.com celebrates Volkswagen hot hatch's anniversary with special tuner pack

It's not unusual for an automaker to roll out a special anniversary model when the brand or a specific model celebrates a milestone. This Volkswagen doesn't come from Wolfsburg itself, though. Instead, an independent outfit bent on marking the 35th birthday of the Volkswagen Golf GTI is behind the effort.

Partnering with German tuning house Wunschel Sport, the website GTI35.com has outfitted the hopped-up Golf with a 50-horse boost to 260 hp, a body kit, lowered suspension, and 19-inch OZ Quaranta wheels on low-profile rubber. The result is a claimed half-second off the 0-100 km/h (62mph) sprint, now down to 6.4 seconds (as equipped with the DSG) and a top speed of 255 km/h (158 mph).

The titanium-colored aftermarket special also wears decals emulating a racing number, which is repeated on the keychain, parking sign and t-shirt that come along with the €32,800 package, which is also available as individual components. Follow the jump for the press release and check out the high-resolution images in the gallery below.

Petite Sirah Celebrates 50 Years As A Varietal
