Audi R8 Spyder

The Audi R8 is still a newcomer on the supercar market, despite the fact that the coupe version of the car has been around since 2007
Here’s what Lowe Roche created for the R8 Spyder: a car cover with the appearance of an R8 Spyder.

The latest in the Audi advertisement campaign against the other German brands is this car cover aimed at BMW and Mercedes-Benz owners who are disappointed with their vehicles, as well as the rest of us who can’t afford one really.

Here are the words, straight from Lowe Roche: "Don’t have an Audi R8 Spyder? Trick your neighbors, and best of all, trick yourself into thinking you have the car of your dreams. Perfect for the BMW or Mercedes owner in your life filled with regret."

Audi A8 had its Chinese launch in Guangzhou yesterday

The Audi A8 had its Chinese launch in Guangzhou yesterday and left audiences impressed with the latest incarnation of the popular full size sedan. Interestingly, Mercedes top management were seen stalking the crowds at the Audi press launch.

The Audi A8 L (long wheelbase) is 130 millimeters (0.43 ft) longer than the standard-wheelbase version. It comes with an extensive array of engines: two V6 engines (TDI 250 hp, TFSI 290 hp), two 4.2l V8s (TDI 350 hp, FSI 372 hp) and a whooping W12 unit. This top of the range engine, a 6.3l FSI, develops 500 hp and a peak torque of 625 Nm at 3,250 rpm. As an option, a panoramic glass roof with two glass panels is being offered.

Audi A7 Sportback first drive

Motorists purchasing an Audi A7 Sportback from car dealerships over the coming weeks have been advised to invest in adaptive air suspension technology.

Audi's new model has also been praised for its "instant responses", although the test driver proved that the car is also "very quiet and fuel efficient".

A sales target of 3,250 units is scheduled for UK customers in 2011.
Views
Audi’s model expansion programme continues onwards and it’s not loosing pace despite the economic climate. Fleet customers will take 55 per cent of sales, diesel powered models 90 per cent and conquest customers will be around 45 per cent of A7 owners. The A7 has a lightweight aluminium and steel composite bodyshell to help reduce fuel consumption and lower CO2 emission in conjunction with the latest fuel efficient engines and ‘smart’ low friction transmissions. The naturally aspirated 204PS 2.8-litre FSI and supercharged 300PS 3.0-litre TFSI petrol units are complemented by two versions of the acclaimed 3.0-litre TDI in 204PS and 245PS forms. Three of the four engines are combined with quattro all wheel drive and only the 3.0-litre TDI 204PS unit has front wheel drive.
For the first time in Audi models at this level, these will be combined with the rapid-shifting seven-speed S tronic twin-clutch sports transmission wherever quattro four-wheel-drive is installed. The Audi drive select adaptive dynamics system is fitted as standard to all models, enabling the driver to fine tune steering weighting, throttle response and transmission shift points at the touch of a button. Audi A7 Sportback 3.0 TDI quattro SE S tronic. Price: £47,200 (£63,325 as tested). Performance: 155mph (electronically limited), 0-62mph 6.3 seconds, 47.1mpg (38.2mpg on test), CO2 158g/km, VED road tax £155, BIK company car tax 23%.
Audi gets quite precious about other car makers using the word premium, believing that too many imposters are claiming their latest models fall into that category.
Of the quartet only the front wheel drive, lower power diesel doesn’t feature Audi’s quattro all-wheel drive system, instead using the company’s multitronic automatic transmission as opposed to the quattro’s seven-speed twin clutch S tronic box .
Speccing the car up is very tempting, and doesn’t come cheap. For instance the 3.0 TDI quattro SE model I drove was fitted with 20 individual options, adding an extra £25,765 to the tab.

Audi R18 Le Mans

Right on schedule, Audi has pulled the sheets off its next-generation Le Mans prototype. The company hasn't worked with a clamshell since 1999, and we're guessing is has more than a little to do with Peugeot's 2009 Le Mans win. Audi used a single-piece construction carbon fiber monocoque to keep weight down and increase stiffness, and those epic all-LED headlights are the first make their way to Le Mans.

While Audi is planning to campaign a total of three R18 racers at the 2011 Le Mans race this summer, the vehicle's first appearance will be at the six hours of Spa on April 24.

Previous Audi prototype racers, from the R8 to the most recent R15 TDI, have been open-cockpit affairs. But Audi is aiming for its tenth 24 Hours of Le Mans victory with a new direction, due in part to a significant reduction in engine displacement mandated for the race in 2011. A single-piece carbon fiber monocoque saves weight and improves stiffness, while new all-LED headlights are a first for an Audi race car. In daylight running mode, the headlights project a "1" to intimidate competitors and signify Audi's past victories.

Audi's new Le Mans LMP1 racecar will be a closed-cockpit model, like rival Peugeot's. The company's R18 debuted earlier today in Ingolstadt and is the key to Audi's bid for a 10th Le Mans 24 win.
Less powerful engines, according to new Le Mans rules, means the new car will rely more on aerodynamic efficiency, thus the importance of a roof. According to the press release, the LEDs of the daytime running lights form the shape of a "1," recalling Audi's historic brand logo

The New Audi A6 for 2011

The all new Audi A6 opens for orders in the UK in January 2011

Stanford University Autonomous Audi TTS

Stanford University Autonomous Audi TTS

The autonomous Audi research car completed a non-stop ascent up the legendary 12.42-mile rally race route in September tests

-- Results certified by organizers of Pikes Peak International Hill Climb

-- Motivation for the research is to develop technologies that could help motorists steer their way out of severe danger

HERNDON, Va., Nov. 18, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- The Autonomous Audi TTS Pikes Peak research car achieved its initial goal of completing the 12.42-mile course of the world-famous Pikes Peak International Hill Climb race in Colorado without stopping and without a driver behind the wheel.

The research car – jointly developed by Audi, Stanford University, the Volkswagen Group Electronics Research Lab in Palo Alto, Calif., and Oracle – conquered the challenging route up the mountain, which serves as the venue for one of the world's most thrilling rally races each June.

During September testing, the Autonomous Audi TTS Pikes Peak drove to the 14,110-foot summit in Colorado without stopping. Organizers of the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb, the second-oldest race in America, certified that the Autonomous Audi TTS completed the twisting course. On the last remaining dirt section, which offered the sternest test of autonomous high-speed handling, the car reached speeds of 45 mph. Five other times during the weeklong testing the car ran the complete course, only pausing briefly on its own to confirm its reading of route data.

Overall, the Autonomous Audi TTS Pikes Peak completed the mountain course in 27 minutes, as verified by Pikes Peak International Hill Climb officials. No human rally driver has completed the course in fewer than 10 minutes, despite driving cars that produced more than 900 hp. The Autonomous Audi TTS Pikes Peak generates 265 hp. Race officials told researchers they would expect an expert race driver on the course to finish in around 17 minutes in a car similar to the TTS.

The successful result proved that autonomous technology can handle difficult driving courses and conditions, engineers on the project said.

"By partnering with leading institutions in Silicon Valley we seek to bring innovative technologies into our vehicles and redefine what is possible," said Dr. Burkhard Huhnke, director of the Electronic Research Lab in Palo Alto, Calif., which co-developed the Autonomous Audi TTS Pikes Peak. "The goal is to improve driver safety and save lives by creating extremely robust electronics."

audi A1 comes from HS Motorsport

The HS Motorsport Audi A1 1.4 TSI comes with extra power and a discreet styling update. This means the HS Motorsport Audi A1 1.4 TSI develops 147 hp and 250 Nm of torque.

The HS Motorsport Audi A1 1.4 TSI features a new rear bumper, modified to accommodate the new tailpipes, carbon fiber Recaro bucket seats and an Alpine sound system and satellite navigation unit.

Audi tt review

the Audi TT handsomely executed interior left no discernible traces of the car's rather humble VW Golf roots.

Named after the Tourist Trophy motorsports event held on the Isle of Man (in which a predecessor of the Audi brand competed), the "Audi TT" is not quite a sports car, not quite a sport coupe or roadster. The Audi TT has the low-slung look and feel of a sports car, but its dynamic personality is closer to that of a luxury sport coupe.

The greater majority of consumers, however, who desire a sporty coupe or roadster with energetic performance and a heavy accent on style, should be more than happy with the Audi TT.

The Audi TT is available as a 2+2 hatchback coupe or a two-seat roadster convertible. Quattro all-wheel drive and a six-speed dual-clutch automated manual transmission (S tronic) are standard.
Standard features include leather/faux suede upholstery, Bluetooth and satellite radio, while items like heated 10-way power seats, a navigation system, a Bose stereo and nifty baseball glove-style leather stitching are options. Past Audi TT Models

The current Audi TT was redesigned for the 2008 model year and represents the second generation. It also offers a more powerful four-cylinder engine.
Prior to 2010, the Audi TT could be equipped with different powertrain options, specified as the TT 2.0T (the same as the current model) and TT 3.2. The TT 3.2 featured a 250-hp V6. Quattro was always standard on the TT 3.2, but was optional on the otherwise front-wheel-drive TT 2.0T for 2009 and not available at all for 2008. Introduced for the 2000 model year and initially available solely as a hatchback coupe, the first TT was powered by Audi's peppy 1.8-liter, 180-hp turbocharged inline-4. Buyers could choose either front- or all-wheel drive (Audi's Quattro system). A five-speed manual was standard, while a six-speed manual was optional. The Audi TT stood pat through 2006, the last year of this generation.

The 2010 Audi TT ranks 9 out of 9 Luxury Sports Cars. The 2010 Audi TT is attractive, luxurious and sporty. "For those interested in a little sport coupe or convertible that offers luxury, style and all-weather traction, the 2010 Audi TT won't disappoint," writes Edmunds. Compared to other luxury sports cars, the 2010 Audi TT is no back-road burner. In addition to its unique, attention-grabbing exterior design, the "2010 Audi TT features" a lavish interior cabin and standard all-wheel drive system.

The 2010 Audi TT convertible, on the other hand, does not.
The: 2010 Audi TT is available" in two trims, the base 2.0 and TTS. Shoppers can opt for either coupe or convertible body styles. Audi's Quattro all-wheel drive system is standard.
When Audi first introduced the TT coupe and convertible in 1999, its Art Deco-inspired style made a much deeper impression than its less impressive performance. The 2010 TT returns with familiar engine, transmission, and drivetrain choices. The 200-horsepower, 2.0-liter turbo four-cylinder comes only with Audi's fantastic six-speed dual-clutch transmission, which eliminates the clutch pedal and lets twin interlocking transmissions handle blink-quick gearchanges. The high-performance, 265-hp turbo TTS comes only with the dual-clutch transmission and all-wheel drive.

2011 Audi A7 Sportback Review

2011 Audi A7 Sportback; 3.0-litre, V6, supercharged, seven-speed dual clutch.

Purporting to be a sporting, four-door coupe with a hatchback rear, it certainly makes a strong visual statement. It’s a big, bold car that cannot fail to grab your attention. Audi is at pains to point out the ‘passion’ in the A7’s design and proudly states that its huge radiator grille is unique to the model.

Ignore the marketing waffle – for ‘Sportback’ read ‘Hatchback’. Obviously trying to distance the A7 from its more normal brethren in name, what this car offers is a remarkably practical, electrically operated rear tailgate. Behind it is an impressive load space of 535-litre load space that more than doubles to 1390 with the rear seats folded down.

Aesthetic and athletic, emotion-packed design, sporty character and innovative technology: Audi is entering a new market segment with the Audi A7 Sportback

The "Audi A7 Sportback features" the entire, wide-ranging technological expertise of the Audi brand. Its body is very lightweight thanks to numerous aluminum components.

In early 2009, Audi gave a preview of the “Audi A7 Sportback” at the North American International Automobile Show in Detroit with the Audi Sportback concept show car. Audi frequently has show cars go into production nearly unchanged. The Audi A7 Sportback is a moving sculpture - a large, five-door coupe with a sporty body and harmonious proportions, a long engine hood, a long wheelbase and short overhangs. The latest large Audi model is 4.97 meters (16.31 ft) long and has a wheelbase of 2.91 meters (9.55 ft). The rear doors are subtly integrated into the silhouette. The athletic play of the surfaces and lines characterizes the side view of the "Audi A7 Sportback". The tornado line starts at the headlights and extends along the fenders, the doors and the rear side walls as it gently slopes toward the tail lights. The elegant line ends in a sharply dropping rear end that forms a distinctive spoiler lip - another sports car feature.

This solution also underscores the width of the Audi A7 Sportback.

Audi offers a choice of eleven paint finishes for the A7 Sportback.
According to Stefan Sielaff, Head of Design at AUDI AG: "Audi design is the harmony of form and function. The headlights of the Audi A7 Sportback are small, technical works of art presenting the lead that the brand enjoys in lighting technology on a brightly lit stage. The Audi A7 Sportback comes standard with Audi's xenon plus technology with the new all-weather light. Available as an option is the adaptive light system, which always provides the appropriate lighting, whether driving in the city, when turning, on inter-urban roads or on the highway.

The system adapts the vehicle's own lights by swiveling the modules with soft transitions.

The Audi A7 Sportback is also available with optional LED headlights - another groundbreaking innovation from Audi.
The turning light, the all-weather light and the highway light round out the system.

The integrated high-beam assistant switches between the low and high beams.

The five-door coupe from Audi combines supreme, long-distance comfort with a sporty character. The body of the Audi A7 Sportback is light, safe and strong thanks to the intelligent lightweight construction technology from Audi, which combines various materials.

The large rear hatch is lined with high-quality carpeting, is easy to load and offers excellent functionality.

The arc extends from the driver's side across the instrument panel to the passenger's door. Audi offers a wide range of upholsteries, including a leather package, to upgrade the entire interior. The front seats of the Audi A7 Sportback are mounted sportily low.

The driver information system, located on the display between the large dial instruments, is controlled via the multifunction steering wheel. Audi will initially offer the A7 Sportback with a choice of four powerful and cultivated V6 engines: two gasoline and two TDI units. All engines use Audi's innovative thermal management system, a recuperation system and a start-stop system.

2.8 FSI quattro with 150 kW (280 hp)
3.0 TFSI quattro with 220 kW (290 hp)
3.0 TDI quattro with 180 kW (240 hp)
3.0 TDI with 150 kW (170 hp)

The standard automatic transmissions also play a large role in the high efficiency of the Audi A7 Sportback. Audi offers two different types depending on the engines: the comfortable, continuously variable multitronic delivers the engine's power to the front wheels. The transmissions are integrated into the engine's thermal management system and can access the predictive route data from the navigation system. Audi offers the sport differential, which actively distributes the power between the rear wheels, as the perfect complement to quattro drive.

The Audi A7 Sportback rolls on large wheels measuring from 18 to 20 inches in diameter shod with tires that have been optimized for low rolling resistance. Powerful brakes sit behind the wheels.
The steering works closely together with the optional Audi active lane assist system.

The Audi A7 Sportback comes standard with a comfortable steel-spring suspension, with two sport suspensions available as options. Audi also offers an optional air suspension with four electronically controlled shock absorbers. The standard version incorporates the automatic transmission, the electromechanical power steering and the engine control unit. Additional modules can also be integrated, including the adaptive air suspension, quattro with sport differential and adaptive light. The Audi A7 Sportback offers a wide range of innovative assistance, safety and infotainment systems. Audi has partnered with the online services provider Google. In addition to the standard MMI radio, Audi offers three optional systems: MMI radio plus, MMI navigation and MMI navigation plus. MMI navigation plus works closely together with the optional driver assistance and safety systems in the A7 Sportback. The driver assistance systems in the "Audi A7 Sportback" are tightly networked via an advanced and fast data bus system. The new Audi active lane assist helps the driver to keep the Audi A7 Sportback firmly on course. The system uses a camera that detects the lines on the road. The adaptive cruise control with stop & go function (ACC) is the latest embodiment of a radar-based distance control system that accelerates and slows the Audi A7 Sportback automatically within certain limits. Audi is launching the Audi A7 Sportback with an opulent array of standard features. A selection includes the highly efficient deluxe air conditioning system, the engine start-stop button, the xenon plus headlights, the LED tail lights, the MMI radio with the 6.5-inch monitor, the electromechanical parking brake, the power rear hatch, the 18-inch alloy wheels and an acoustic windshield.

The safety package leaves nothing to be desired, with two front, side and head airbags, four belt tensioners and the integral Audi head restraint system.

In addition to the features and systems mentioned above, there is also a four-zone automatic air conditioning system, an auxiliary heating system, insulating/acoustic glazing, a heated steering wheel rim, a power-adjustable steering column, sunblinds for the rear window, two ambient lighting packages, power-assisted closing for the doors and the convenience key for keyless vehicle access.

It is combined with a taut sport suspension, 19-inch wheels, sport seats and a special leather steering wheel. A complementary S line exterior package is available as an option.
Also available is the MMI (Multimedia Interface) entertainment and navigation system that features a high-res pop-up 6.5-inch screen. At launch in Europe two petrol engines will be offered, a 150kW/280Nm 2.8-litre V6 and a 220kW/440Nm 3-litre supercharged V6, with fuel economy rated at 8 and 8.2L/100km respectively. Power is delivered to either the front wheels via a continuously variable transmission, or all four wheels via seven-speed dual-clutch transmission.

2010 Audi RS5 Reviews

After what seems like an eternity, the launch of the 2010 Audi RS5 is almost upon us. A nearly-finished coupe version of the hot Audi was recently spotted testing its stopping power in the Alps ahead of a possible Frankfurt Motor Show debut.

Also differentiating the Audi RS5 from the S5 is its honeycomb grille and single-outlet dual exhaust.

(For comparison, the S5’s engine is rated at 350 hp @ 7000 rpm and 325 lb.-ft. of torque at 3500 rpm).

Externally, the Audi RS5 differs little from its already attractive S5 sibling, but the cosmetic tweaks help the car look slightly more aggressive. A one-piece front grille and large lower air intakes are similar to those applied to the TT RS, while the rear valiance sports a larger diffuser and twin oval exhaust tips. 19-inch aluminum wheels are standard, but performance junkies may want to opt for the 20-inch rolling stock, as well as the available torque-vectoring rear differential and carbon ceramic brake rotors.

These changes reportedly help the Audi RS5 rocket from 0-62 mph in a scant 4.6 seconds.

Rarely does a camouflaged prototype look so good, although in the case of this latest encounter with the upcoming performance flagship Audi RS5 its combination black matte and blue hue looks simply brilliant.

In seemingly near-production guise, signature elements of Audi’s RS stable can be seen such as the twin oval exhaust pipes, enormous brake package and aggressive front end treatment.

Audi Q7-revised engine lineup for the Audi Q7

is introducing a revised engine lineup for the Audi Q7 SUV. The new range comprises two gasoline engines, both V6 units but with different power outputs, as well as a second-generation 4.2 V8 TDI diesel engine. The mighty V12 TDI diesel completes the range.
