Sport Utility Vehicles often lack in the sport--unless you count the ability to stick some surfboards on top and take an ice chest, the dog, and the kids along as "sport." Some, however, have found the truer meaning of the word, and it looks like the newest of them might just be the 2014 Audi SQ5...

If you’re tracking the development of autonomous vehicles, you know that several companies have now begun testing in the state of Nevada, where autonomous cars can now be licensed for use on public roads. To be clear, Google was the first company to receive such a license from Nevada...

Despite facing challenging economic circumstances, particularly in its home market of Europe, Audi has committed to investing 13 billion euros ($17.2 billion) through 2016 on developing new products and technology as well as upgrading and constructing new production facilities. A bulk of the...

At the 24 Hours of Le Mans back in June, Audi’s R18 e-tron quattro LMP1 race cars managed to take the top two spots, helping the brand with the four rings secure its 11th win at the prestigious endurance race. With such a record, you’d think Audi might be considering scaling back its Le...

With Mercedes-Benz’s go-fast division AMG boasting about having extracted “more than” 330 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque from a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine destined for its new range of compact cars, and with most suggesting that the power figure could be...

As anyone who’s driven Audi’s S6 and S7 models will tell you, the cars are distinctly different in personality, which helps Audi build a business case for both in the U.S. product line. If there’s room for an A6, an A7, an S6 and an S7, surely there's room for an RS 6 and RS 7...

Back in September, we got our first look at the 2014 Audi RS 5 Cabriolet at the 2012 Paris Auto Show. Today we get even more imagery straight from the four ring-brand in anticipation of the start of European sales of the cabrio in early 2013. Like its tin-top sibling, the RS 5 Cabriolet uses a...

If you see this behind you on the road, don't bother moving over. It'll get past. The kids in the back will even wave as it goes by. It's the 2014 Audi RS 6 Avant, and it's just gone official following a spate of leaked images earlier today. Rated at 560 horsepower courtesy of a twin-turbo...

We know Volkswagen will be launching a production version of its 235-mpg XL1 concept car. In fact, we’ve already seen prototypes of the car testing around Europe and expect a debut sometime next year. Audi also wants a car capable of returning more than 200 miles to the gallon, but instead of...

Audi has hinted at the launch of a diesel-powered supercar for the good part of a decade, with things really heating up when the company unveiled its R8 V12 TDI concept car in 2008. However, plans for a diesel-powered R8 were eventually abandoned, even though Audi would continue to develop...

The world’s biggest Audi dealership, a terminal in Audi speak, has opened in Dubai, helping elevate the brand’s presence in a region where luxury sales continue to soar. And on hand to kick off the celebrations at the new Dubai Audi terminal was singer Jennifer Lopez. More than just a...

If you love glow plugs and green-handled fuel pumps, get ready to love some new Audis. The German luxury carmaker will be bringing four new diesels for the U.S. market to the 2012 Los Angeles Auto Show. The Audi A6, A7, A8, and Q5 will all get TDI "clean diesel" versions next week, joining the Q7...

In its quest to boost its sales even further, Audi is looking to expand its range with several new models. However, with the automaker already offering a full lineup of vehicles, from tiny hatchbacks to full-size sedans and the R8 supercar, looking for new niches is the only way to go. Some of the...

The latest generation of the Audi RS 4 went on sale overseas earlier this year, but despite the legions of American fans hopeful to one day see it in showrooms, Audi has chosen not to import it. That may be about to change, as it appears the brand with the four rings has at least one example in the...

There are many reasons why the friends of those of us lucky enough to write about cars profess to hate and envy us. Most of them are completely valid. Driving a passel of brand-new 2014 Audi R8s, including the new V10 Plus model, on track in northern Italy and over the Alps is just one of the...

Audi is addressing the claim that its cars all look the same by taking its design in a bold new direction. The automaker plans to introduce greater differentiation between each of its model lines, with its future styling expected to reflect in greater detail the technical aspects behind the cars...

Four-door coupes are all the rage these days, so it seems logical to us that Audi would opt to introduce an S version of its popular A7. Like the all-new-for 2013 Audi S6, the S7 rides on the Volkswagen group’s MLB platform and benefits from a new 4.0-liter, twin-turbo V-8 engine mated to a...

With Porsche put in charge of sports car and luxury sedan development at the Volkswagen Group, we’re going to start seeing the sports car brand developing a greater number of models for fellow Volkswagen Group brands, including the likes of Audi and Bentley. Such a task is made possible due...

Audi has consistently stated that its R8 e-tron, an all-electric version of its R8 supercar, would be launched on the market by the end of 2012. With Audi recently setting the Nürburgring lap record for a production EV with a prototype built to production specs, as well as providing details...

Not to be mistaken with the production-destined R8 e-tron electric supercar we’ve been reporting on for the past couple of years, Audi has been testing a unique R8 prototype fitted with what the company describes as a modular electric car platform. The prototype is labeled the F12 e Sport...
