It’s getting put through its paces on the Jerez test track, and as a result, we get just over three and a half minutes of sweet Porsche action as that monster goes flying around the curves and over the straightaways of this track.

There’s a LOT to notice in this video–it’s not just cars whipping around a track at ludicrous speeds.  For instance, you’ll be treated to the sight of a spoiler that’s wider than the car itself, and the most outlandish orange and black paintjob you may well have ever seen on a car.

Bizarre aesthetics aside, there’s lots of reason to enjoy this video, though.  It’s quite clear that the Porsche 996 GT Turbo is a high performance machine that does exactly what it sets out to do–burn its way around the track like no tomorrow.

VW and the NHTSA have recently issued a recall that will effect up to 14,416 Touareg SUVs of the 2007-2009 model years. Unfortunately, the car’s spoiler won’t cause the entire vehicle to take flight but the spoiler itself? That’s a different story.

According to VW the spoiler attached to the back of the effected Touaregs poses the threat of possible coming loose from the vehicle and causing all sorts of havoc. The problem deals with loose fastening struts connecting the spoiler to the car.

VW owners can head to their local dealership if they have an effected vehicle where the problem will be fixed for free.

We catch a glimpse of the future with this potential hovercraft unveiled by Audi. The futuristic two-seater flying sportscar is inspired by both motorcycle and jet design, for maximum performance as well as safety.

The name of course comes from its resemblance to a gray reef shark. Its streamlined design, sharp nose and fin-like rear lower spoiler contribute to the vehicle’s “underwater” appearance. Both the headlights and taillights are made by transparent tubes which integrate LED units, while the somewhat cramped interior features sport seats integrated in the cockpit structure.
