  • 2010 Audi S4

    Have you ever asked to speak to someone’s manager and then been approached by the boss of the whole company (in this case the regional chief)? Probably not, but that’s roughly what happened to one customer angered by delivery delays of a recently purchased 2011 Audi S4. Going by the name of Datz, a member of the Audizine forums posted his account, a partial transcript of which is pasted below: “I have been waiting for my S4 order to arrive for quite a while now. I ordered on December 9, 2010 and was told 75 to 90 days, even though I ordered Daytona Gray, a custom color. My...

    APR Supercharged Audi S5 Runs Sub-12 1/4 Mile: Video

    The 2012 Mustang Boss is perhaps the most impressive off-the-shelf naturally-aspirated muscle car ever. But if you're looking for a little more four-ringed elegance and some forced-induction action, and can't wait for Audi to bring its latest RS models to the U.S., you can talk to the good folks at...

  • Audi Quattro concept - 2010 Paris Auto Show
    Report: Audi Quattro Concept Could See Production

    When it debuted at last year's Paris Auto Show, the Audi Quattro Concept stood out among a crowd of great cars, but unfortunately it was then billed as little more than an homage to the past and a concept for future design. But now it looks like it may just see limited production. The green light...

    Update: The 2013 Audi RS4 Avant has been revealed. Click here for all the details and images. After seeing the tempting spy shots earlier this week, we were eagerly looking forward to Audi's latest midsize RS model. But all is for naught, as Audi PR chief Jeff Kuhlman has said there's no plan to...

    Five-Millionth Audi A4 Rolls Off The Production Line

    Since the introduction of the first Audi A4 back in 1994 (albeit the A4 is essentially the original Audi 80 renamed), more than five million cars bearing the A4 name have rolled off Audi production lines in Ingolstadt and Neckarsulm in Germany. The five-millionth model was a ‘Misano...

  • 2011 Audi A5 e-tron quattro hybrid prototype

    Sophisticated hybrid systems that utilize an internal combustion engine to power one axle and an electric motor spinning the opposing one seems to be all the rage these days and could potentially form the next wave of green car technology to sweep the auto industry. By powering two axles instead of one, the innovative drive systems, also known as a ‘through-the-road’ hybrid, offer all-wheel drive capability without the associated heavy weight of multiple driveshafts and gearsets typical of most all-wheel drive vehicles. Not surprisingly, several major automakers are flocking to...

  • 2012 Audi Q5 Hybrid
    Audi Tops In Premium All-Wheel Drive

    Perhaps this one should be filed under "tell me something I don't know," but Audi is king when it comes to all-wheel drive in the premium luxury segment. Audi sold 437,792 vehicles with all-wheel drive in 2010, with the Q5 taking the lead with 155,025 all-wheel drive models sold. Of the remaining...

    Next-Gen Audi RS6 May Arrive In 2012, U.S. Launch Likely

    The Audi RS6, available in both sedan and Avant wagon bodystyles, is one of the most sought-after models for Audiphiles all around the world but sadly it's not currently offered in the U.S., its monster twin-turbo V-10 proving too expensive to comply with strict U.S. emissions regulations. However...

    Report: 2012 Audi S8 To Get 520 HP From Twin-Turbo V-8

    The proliferation of a new 4.0-liter V-8 through Audi's lineup is nothing new, nor is talk of turbocharging the engine. A 520-horsepower version dropping into the S8 is, however, and it's rather interesting if you're a fan of big-sedan speed. BMW and Mercedes have both already jumped on the...

    Audi Q6 SUV-Coupe Rumors Resurface

    BMW's X6 puzzled the public and the press alike when it hit the roads in 2008. It still confounds even the most determined of ontologists, but manages to win fans despite its compromised nature. Audi apparently wants a piece of that pie, as a new report says the Q6 is back on the front burner. We...

  • 2012 Audi R8 GT

    Warm up your line of credit, it's about to get a workout: the 2012 Audi R8 GT starts from $196,800--excluding the $1,250 delivery fee, bringing the pre-tax, title, and license tally to $198,050. That's about what we expected, though, so there's no sticker shock. How could there be, really, with a limited-edition, 333-unit line (only 90 of which are coming to the U.S.) of the most finely-tuned factory R8s available? Pumping 560 horsepower from its 5.2-liter V-10 engine, sending it to all four wheels through an R tronic sequential manual transmission, and racking up 199 mph top speed with...

    The new 2012 Audi A6 is without doubt a technical marvel. Combining such technologies as radar-based cruise control and adaptive brakes, full LED headlights, a touchpad controller for the MMI interface, a range of fuel efficient yet powerful engines--including an eventual hybrid--and of course, the...

    Anderson Audi R8 Hyper Black Is One Sinister Ride

    We’ve seen a lot of modified Audi R8s in the past but there’s something just sinister about the new ‘Hyper Black’ Audi R8 from German tuning firm Anderson. Based in Dusseldorf, Germany, Anderson’s engineers start with the range-topping V-10 Audi R8 and boost output to...

    Audi R8 Spyder Epic Parking Fail

    We’ve seen some pretty bad attempts at parking before, including this BMW X5 that drove up on another car, or this Bugatti Veyron, whose driver curbed one of its wheels. However, this latest driver of an Audi R8 Spyder easily takes the cake. We’re not sure why the driver in this case...

This season, Audi is gearing up for the 2011 DTM...

    Audi A3 Sedan U.S.-Bound...If It's Built

    The Audi A3 sedan concept is one of the sleeper hits of the Geneva Auto Show that's going on right now. Taking the A3's compact dimensions and making it a sedan produced something that's unique, and not an Audi-fied Volkswagen Jetta as one might fear. Instead, it looks like an A4 that's been left...

  • 2010 Audi A3 TDI

    Buoyed by the success of its diesel A3 hatch and Q7 SUV, Audi has confirmed the introduction of several more fuel efficient diesel models for the U.S., finally satisfying the desire of Europhiles and environmentally conscious luxury buyers all across the country. Over the next 24 to 30 months Audi will introduce new diesel versions of its A8 and A6 luxury sedans, as well as the Q5 crossover. Incidentally, all three of these models will eventually offer a hybrid option as well, with the Q5 Hybrid due for launch later this year. As for the A4, Audi is waiting until the next-generation of the...

Laitinen, a test driver for tire manufacturer Nokian...

    2010 Proves Most Successful Year In Audi’s History

    It’s safe to say that 2010 was a bumper year for Audi. With a total of 1,092,411 sales under its belt, Audi managed to draw in a record $49.2 billion in revenue which resulted in a profit after tax of $3.6 billion. The same year also saw Audi break its annual vehicle sales record in the U.S...

    Audi is looking to collect winter stories of its quattro all-wheel drive system in use, and let's face it: this winter probably provided ample opportunity with snow falling heavily from the North Pole clear into the Deep South. This video--which only briefly features the Audi R8, sadly--is a call...
