  • Audi A8 Avant wagon by Castagna

    Italian firm Castagna has plans to turn Audi's largest sedan into an Avant-style wagon. The firm shared renderings of the future project on social media earlier this month, depicting a previous-generation A8 that has ditched its standard trunk in order to become a full-sized wagon. Castagna didn't reveal much else about the project, but did say the modifications would be constructed with a mix of aluminum and carbon fiber. We'll have to see the final product when the A8 wagon is completed because something about the A8's full-size nature makes the car in the renderings look a tad off-balance...

  • 2019 Audi e-tron first drive  -  Abu Dhabi UAE, December 2018

    The Audi e-tron SUV that goes on sale next spring in the U.S. isn’t just Audi’s first fully electric vehicle. It’s the luxury brand’s way of showing how an increasingly inevitable part of the future can fit right in and be a part of four-ring identity. In our first drive this week, we found the e-tron to be exactly that—simultaneously flaunting some daring, different engineering decisions under the surface but looking and feeling, at face value, to be a familiar, mainstream-luxury Audi. The e-tron appears, inside and out, as if it were a larger member of the...
