WITH GERMAN LUXURY CARS already bursting at the seams with high tech luxury and safety items, the race is on for the next ‘big thing’.

Using the new system means [...]
AUDI’S UPCOMING A5 Sportback will be the first car in the A5 stable to differ substantially from the two-door coupe mould that - until now - has been the basis of the range.

THE AUDI R8 SPIDER has been a hot topic since way back in 2007. Now, finally, the days until its debut - likely at the upcoming Frankfurt Motor Show in September - are running down. What will it look like? Something, you’d expect, like these photos of a mystery convertible version spied [...]

PROVIDING GREEN POWERTRAIN options is fast becoming a key strategy for the world’s automakers. Not every solution fits every market though which is why Audi is preparing a petrol-electric hybrid version of its Q5 SUV, targeted principally at North American ‘green’ buyers.
Set to launch in 2011, the Q5 Hybrid is aimed squarely at markets that [...]
IN A MOVE THAT has seen a 400kg lighter and 75kW less-powerful four-cylinder prototype Audi S5 lap the Nurburgring eight seconds quicker than the regular 245kW V8 model, Audi has initiated a program that will see it focus on weight reduction for future models.
In a recent interview with British magazine Autocar, Audi’s Director of [...]
AUDI HAS INTRODUCED a pair of new super-thrifty diesel engines to the European A3 lineup, delivering hybrid-equalling fuel economy in a sharper-looking shell.

REPORTS OUT OF Europe last week indicated that Audi would unveil an electric version of its Audi R8 supercar alongside the hotly anticipated R8 convertible, but with very few details of the so-called R8 ‘e-Version’.
Audi has since officially denied any plans for an electric R8, telling US automotive magazine Edmunds that the reports are [...]
AUDI DISHED UP all the details for the high performance version of the new TT, called the TT RS, back in early March. Now, the mad scientists at Ingolstadt have released a bevy of new images.

It sounded fantastic and it was certainly quick, but alas, Audi has finally buried its sonorous V8-powered S4 and replaced it with the newer, more eco-friendly V6-powered model.
The 2009 Audi S4 was launched in Australia today, and although it’s minus a couple of cylinders and has lost a bit of its bark, it’s still every [...]
Back in October of last year Audi released the S3 Sportback, which came packing enough power and torque to make your average hi-po V6 blush.
Sitting atop the A3 range, the S3 Sportback (already a competent performer), has just been further enhanced with the introduction of Audi’s quick-shifting S tronic gearbox.
Audi’s S tronic gearbox first [...]

The Audi Sportback concept revealed at the Detroit Auto Show this year.

Audi Australia has announced that the brand’s cutting-edge four cylinder 2.0 litre powerplant has been added to the A5’s spec sheet, with the new direct-injected motor promising a fair whack of power along with a commendably low thirst for fuel.

Audi has just wheeled out its latest fuel-saving start-stop system in Europe, which will come fitted to select models in the marque’s lineup.

If Audi’s great new video of a blazing orange 2009 Audi R8 cruising through the Italian city of Maranello is anything to go by, it would seem the fiercely loyal citizens are Maranellan to the point of xenophobic.
You see, Maranello is the home of Ferrari, and while the residents might normally be friendly and cheerful [...]
The RS3 would sit above the Audi S3 (2009 model above) as the flagship of the A3 range.
While Ford of Europe’s ballistic Focus RS isn’t likely to make its way ‘Downunder’, the 2012 Audi RS3 would seem a more likely option for Aussie hot hatch enthusiasts.
Based on the upcoming 2012 Audi A3, there are no [...]
