  • 2011 Audi A8

    Audi has announced prices for its new 2011 A8 flagship luxury sedan, which has just hit showrooms and will be followed by the long-wheelbase A8 L variant next month. Pricing for the new 2011 Audi A8 starts at $78,050 (excluding $875 destination and dealer charges). For the money, customers get a brand new technology-rich sedan that offers an elegant style and grace that its rivals don’t. This starting price includes a broad range of advanced features, such as an efficient eight-speed automatic transmission and the next-generation of the Audi MMI interface system with new MMI touch...

    2010 Paris Auto Show: Audi A1 1.4 TFSI Live Photos

    The 2010 Paris Auto Show is winding down, but there's still much to be seen, including Audi's punchiest version of the A1, the 1.4 TFSI. Packing a supercharger, a turbocharger, and 185 wild horses, the A1 1.4 TFSI is just a quattro all-wheel-drive system short of earning an S1 badge. Despite the...

    2010 Paris Auto Show: 2011 Audi A7 Live Photos

    Though it's been previewed earlier in the year, the 2011 Audi A7 made its formal debut at the 2010 Paris Auto Show with the trendy slope-back style pioneered by Mercedes-Benz, and adapted heartily by Porsche. On the A7, the hatchback, four-door-coupe stance works much better than on the Porsche...

    2010 Paris Auto Show: Audi e-tron Spyder Concept

    Turns out yesterday’s quattro Concept wasn’t the only big surprise Audi had in store for this week’s 2010 Paris Auto Show. Today we were treated with yet another e-tron electric vehicle, the 2010 Audi e-tron Spyder--though this one is very different to the stuff we’ve seen...

    2010 Paris Auto Show: Audi Quattro concept preview

    Many believed talk of Audi’s new R4 mid-level sports car was pure fantasy but then we saw the surprise unveiling of a second e-tron concept car; a unique design that even the automaker said was a production possibility. Now, on the eve of the 2010 Paris Auto Show, Audi has unveiled a brand...

    Breaking: Helicopter Film Crew Crashes Filming Autonomous Audi On Pikes Peak

    Audi just released a terse statement expressing sadness over the "helicopter incident" during filming of the Stanford/Audi autonomous TTS Pikes Peak car. Details are sketchy at the moment, but Audi says more details will be released once the National Transportation Safety Board and local law...

  • Audi TT RS

    The hottest of Audi's TT lineup will finally be making its way to America, due here in the third quarter of 2011. The credit is due in part to a Facebook petition called "Bring it to the U.S." which saw 11,500 signatures over the course of a month. If you're not up to speed on the TT-RS, you ought to be. The 360-horsepower turbocharged 2.5-liter five-cylinder variant of the TT delivers 4.6-second 0-60 mph times in the TT's svelte package thanks in part to its quattro all-wheel drive. The mid-mounted engine is so good it won the International Engine of the Year award in its category this year...

    2010 Paris Auto Show Preview: Audi Planning 2011 S1, 2012 S7 Unveiling?

    Every other year the Paris auto show packs in some of the world's most impressive concepts and new model debuts, and this year is shaping up to be no different, despite the tepid climate in the global market. Audi in particular is expected to have some hot concepts on display, with the latest...

    Video: Audi Airlifts Camouflaged Concept (R4?) To Ski Slopes

    It's summertime even in Western Europe, but that doesn't mean you can't hit the ski slopes--in an Audi, at least. This video, claiming to be a behind-the-scenes capture of an Audi promo shoot, shows what may be the Audi R4/e-tron on a dry Olympic ski jump near the Austrian border. It's a two-part...

    Video: 2011 Audi A7 In Sardinia

    There's not much mystery left to the 2011 Audi A7, but that doesn't mean we're not up for some slow-pan ogling of the car. Almost every detail is exposed, from the multi-stage tail lights to the pop-up rear spoiler. The headlights in particular look impressive, with the line of LEDs under a...

    Tom Brady's Audi S8 Plays Defense In Two-Car Collision

    The New England Patriots could've found themselves in a bind yesterday when star quarterback Tom Brady got sacked in a two-car crash. Thankfully, Brady's sporty Audi S8 kept him nice and safe -- though a passenger in the other car wasn't so lucky. According to USA Today (we know, but we have to...

    Kellan Lutz Gives Us A Little Audi And A Lot Of Abs

    Remember when saw Kellan Lutz rocking his Infiniti G35? We appreciated that. It was refreshing, invigorating -- an automotive palate-cleanser to help wash the taste of Land Rovers and G-Wagens out of our mouths. Then, we saw him in what appeared to be an Audi A5, and our hearts sank, because Audi...

  • 2011 Audi A3

    Confirming (or at least duplicating) reports from back in January, a new report out of Germany says the Audi A3 Sedan is still on track for the U.S. The plan is to leverage America's love for sedans and the potential for affordability with the A3 into more substantial sales figures. It's a pretty straightforward plan, really, and it makes good sense. While we're partial to the hatchback version, most of America's car shoppers could do without the almost-a-wagon look. Best of all for Audi, the A3 sedan would offer a size/segment that's not already populated by BMW and Mercedes. The C-Class and...

    Audi A1 Won't Make It To U.S. Until Second Gen "At The Earliest"

    It's coming to the U.S. No wait, it isn't. Wait, maybe it is. Oh, sorry, no, it's not. So far, that's the story of the 2011 Audi A1, though by the time it reaches the U.S., if it ever does, it'll likely be 2015 or later. When it comes to European hatches, we Americans have to look for the silver...

    Rendered: 2012 Audi Q3

    In response to shrinking sales of large SUVs in most parts of the globe, automakers are preparing a new generation of compact soft-roaders aimed at both the affordable and premium sectors of the market. We’ve already seen Ford release the Kuga crossover and Toyota add the Urban Cruiser to its...

    Earlier this week we saw the first spy shots of a prototype for the new 2012 Audi A6 and today we have a new computer-generated rendering of the Avant wagon variant. Though the next-generation A6 is still almost a year away from its production debut, details about its construction and platform...

    Sign the petition to bring the Audi TT RS to U.S.

    The potent Audi TT RS is selling up a storm in Europe but ask Audi when it will arrive in the U.S. and the only answer you will likely receive is that it’s still under consideration. Given the halo status of the hotted-up Coupe and Roadster, Audi would be foolish to ignore the U.S. market but...

  • Christina Aguilera

    News flash: Christina Aguilera has a need for speed. News flashier: unlike many of her pop tartelette colleagues, she wants the legal kind. Behind the link, you'll see a very recent shot of Xtina browsing the merch at a Ferrari dealership in Calabasas, California. Presumably this is what celebrity families do on their days off: slap on some leggings, put their hair in scrunchies, and head out for Funyuns and $400,000 supercars. We could get into that ourselves, if only we had talent and money. Ke$ha gives us hope that we can overcome those minor details. Although the Bratman-Aguileras didn't...

Audi managed to increase its revenue by 21 percent in the first six months of the current...

    After an ignominious and un-detailed early leak over the weekend, the 2012 Audi A7 was officially unveiled just over an hour ago at the Pinakothek der Moderne in Munich. The photos released after the unveiling, though a bit anti-climactic, show the car off in far more detail, and we now have the...
