We were fortunate enough to be able to steal away 20 minutes of two-time 24 Hours of Le Mans winner Allan McNish's pre-race week today, and we spent it asking about the R18 e-tron quattro race car, his hopes and expectations for the race next weekend, and his thoughts on endurance racing...

Audi is clearly on a mission to make parking a much easier affair. We recently showed you the latest Audi Connect feature that pairs up with the INRIX parking database. It shows drivers what local garages are charging and if they have any spots open. This is a neat feature that should make the...

I may be missing something, but the last I heard, I was completely normal for ditching work for a weekend fling with an Audi R8. Maybe you'll understand, after some evidence, why it took about a millisecond to take Audi up on its offer to wing it to Malibu and toss the R8 lineup around some of the...

Diesel is making a comeback in the U.S., from the luxury ranks all the way to the entry level, and Audi has been at the front of the new wave. Today, the four-ringed company announced pricing for its 2014 A6 TDI, A7 TDI, and Q5 TDI. "As drivers increasingly look for high fuel efficiency and...

Finding a parking spot is just one of those chores many drivers face on a daily basis. You roll up and down the rows at the parking garage hoping for that empty space, only to be foiled by the odd motorcycle or MINI Cooper. Audi is looking to help out its owners, and the German automaker has teamed...

Audi is already preparing a varied fuel product onslaught as it moves to bring more diesel vehicles to the States. Now, however, comes word that a third type of engine juice will be joining the lineup--albeit in prototype form. Mix two parts hydrogen and one part oxygen and what you're left with is...

Mercedes-Benz has had great success with its B Class compact MPV in Europe, where the ‘practical with a little touch of luxury’ concept goes down well with elderly buyers and small families. The success has even convinced BMW to abandon its rear-wheel-drive-only stance and launch a new...

Lightness is a highly sought-after attribute in a race car. Even when adding complex, often heavy systems like hybrid drive and large, powerful engines, there's a focus on saving weight. That's usually done through carbon fiber these days. Audi appears to have perfected the art. The carbon fiber...

Audi hasn't been shy in telling the world that it has big plans for growth. In fact, its parent company Volkswagen has plans to take over the world overtake General Motors and Toyota as the world's largest automaker, and the four-ringed luxury brand is going to play a critical role in meeting that...

On a crisp, sunny day in the German city of Koblenz last weekend, dozens of old Audis gathered at a riverbank park where the Mosel meets the Rhine.

Development of the next generation of the Audi TT has been ongoing for years, and we've followed talk of lightness, improvements to technology and power, and even seen spy shots of test mules on the road.
