| RPMGO Awards: Winners for week February 19-25 Posted: 26 Feb 2010 06:42 AM PST Welcome to the second, yet most important part of our RPMGO Awards feature for the week spanning February 19 and 25. We’ve revealed to you the nominees for the best and worst stories yesterday, and you’ve voted for them. The turnout was pretty good, but it seems some kinks in our polling system didn’t allow some people to vote. Either way, the results are in and we can share with your what were the best and worst stories of the past week. Perfect ShiftThe Perfect Shift award goes out to Audi, which revealed its BMW M3 Coupe-rival, the RS5, this week. The three-door coupe is powered by a massive 4.2-liter naturally-aspirated V8, capable of pushing 450 HP through the quattro all-wheel drive system and propelling the Audi RS5 to 155 mph or 174 mph, for a price. The very hot Citroen DS3 Racing was runner up to the Audi, proving that 200 HP French premium hatchbacks do have a place with our readers. What’s funny is that the eagerly awaited Mercedes-Benz F800 Style Concept earned no votes. It seems MB needs to try a bit harder next time. Over RevAccording to our readers, Mansory went deep into Over Rev territory this week with its ghastly Rolls Royce Ghost tuning project. While any car fan would appreciate a 710 HP Rolls, no one in their right mind would go for such an eye-burning color scheme of strong blue and gold. I’m guessing Rolls Royce should seek out some damages from Mansory for the harm its done to the brand. Honda’s futuristic concepts with no place in today’s world and the hoon who wrecked his Corvette while trying to do a burnout tied for second, while at least one voter thought that Hyundai’s mistake with the door latches on the 2011 Sonata was extremely bad news. These were your votes and your awards. Next week will be filled with more news straight from the Geneva Motor Show, so keep checking back on our website. Post published on Rpmgo.com Related posts:
