The Audi A3 Saloon – revealed at the 2013 New York Auto Show – arrives in the UK with a choice of three engines as the first saloon A3. Audi isn’t afraid of covering every possible niche in its ambition to be the world’s top ‘Premier’ marque, so we now get a third body shape [...]

The Audi RS6 Avant is heading for auction at Elton John’s White Tie & Tiara Ball to raise funds for the EJAF, signed by Gwyneth Paltrow. Audi UK has a bit of a history of donating cars for auction at Elton John’s annual White Tie & Tiara Ball in aid of the Elton John Aids [...]

It seems Audi has confirmed to Autocar that the electric Audi R8 – the R8 e-Tron – isn’t viable for production and won’t be made, citing poor range and high cost.

Audi has released a short video ahead of the Star Trek Into Darkness premier featuring Leonard Nimoy and Zachary Quinto (Spocks both) and a dig at Mercedes. Audi likes nothing more than a bit of ‘celebrity’ kudos, which is why you’ll find endless celebs (and royalty) running round in Audis thanks to ‘enhanced’ lease deals and freebie cars. But it’s [...]

Audi Q8 confirmed, or is it the Audi Q9?

Audi Q8 Q9 planned

Audi development boss, Wolfgang Durheimer, has confirmed a new, bigger ‘Q’ to sit above the Q7. But will it be the Audi Q8 or Audi Q9? We’ve long wondered when Audi would get round to expanding its range of ‘Q’ badged SUVs to include sporty coupe SUVs as well as a new range-topper bigger than the Q7. But Audi [...]

It’s reported by the German motoring press that Audi are working on their own version of the electric e-Up city car for launch in 2015. Audi has played endlessly with their e-tron range of electric cars and range-extenders in recent years, but precious little has seemed even close to production. Perhaps the most promising EVs from Audi [...]

Car makers to be forced to disclaim ‘Official’ economy figures

Photo of Audi A3

A landmark ruling by the Advertising Standards Agency against Audi will see car makers forced to disclaim official economy figures in their advertising. We’ve banged on for a long time about the futility of official economy figures, especially as car makers get better and better at ‘gaming’ the official economy tests to produce the results they want. Much of the impetus to [...]

Audi are teasing a new reveal for the 2013 New York Auto Show which we think in the new A3 saloon. But could it actually be the Q6 instead? We had a preview of the Audi A3 saloon as long ago as the Geneva Motor Show in 2011 and it now looks like Audi are [...]
