You might remember a few weeks ago that Audi Sport drivers Allan McNish, Tom Kristensen and Marco Bonanomi got together for a triathlon in Allan's home town of Monaco. "Team McKristenomi" was the name of their effort, complete with team shirts sporting Audi fonts and a moniker of the Brangelina variety.

CAR Magazine has published a series of intel stories about upcoming Porsche product and since it's from correspondent Georg Kacher, we listened closely. Kacher's sources tend to be board level so they're more than simple rumor and though this series was about Porsche, the Stuttgart brand's injection into the Volkswagen Group means that much of the intel carries ...
