Audi are planning a new Audi Q7 for 2013, and it looks like it’s going to be a much lighter beast – 300kg lighter. But there will be no Audi Q9. The Audi Q7 was rather late to the SUV party of the noughties, not hitting the road until 2005. That meant the Q7 had […]
Audi Urban Concept Previewed
Audi has released information and sketches of what they’re describing as the Audi Urban Concept. It’s basically the Audi E1 e-Tron from earlier. It’s quite interesting when things happen back to front; where you get to see the chicken before the egg. And that’s what’s happened with the Audi Urban Concept. For some reason Audi […]
Audi E1 e-tron city concept in Berlin +video
Audi has rolled out what looks like another e-Tron Concept, this time a tiny, two seater Messerschmitt-like car. The Audi E1? Did Clive Sinclair get in to bed with Audi? Are the progeny of Fend Flitzer lurking in the bowels of Audi Towers? We ask because the latest Audi e-Tron Concept (the Audi E1, perhaps?) which rolled out of […]
2012 Audi R8 facelift, more power & S-tronic ‘box
The Audi R8 is to get a facelift for 2012 with cosmetic tweaks, extra power for the V8 and V10 and a seven-speed S-Tronic gearbox. The supercar with a mainstream car maker’s badge attached that is the Audi R8 has been something of a success as a halo car for the Audi range since it arrived in V8 form in 2007 (well, probably […]
Audi A6 Hybrid will arrive in mid 2012
The Audi A6 Hybrid won’t hit the UK and Europe until mid 2012, and the US in 2014 – if at all. Which seems the wrong way round. Audi released all the bumph on the 2011 A6 at the end of 2010, and we’d expected that they would deliver up the Audi A6 Hybrid by the end of this […]
New Audi A5 & S5 2012 facelift revealed
Audi has refreshed the A5 and S5 for 2012 with small cosmetic tweaks, revised engines and the loss of the V8 in the S5. It doesn’t seem five minutes since the Audi A5 arrived, bridging the gap between the A4 and A6. Or, as the cynics may say, allowing Audi charge a lot more for what is […]
Audi Q3 RS: A quick Q3 planned for 2012
Audi are reported to be preparing a hot Q3 – an Audi Q3 RS – with 300bhp from the 5-pot TT-RS lump. Expected on sale in 2012. To be honest, we’re not exactly certain that a quick Audi Q3 will actually come to market as the Audi Q3 RS. But we are pretty sure there […]
Audi R8 V8 Limited Edition launched to celebrate Le Mans win
Audi UK has revealed the Audi R8 V8 Limited Edition, a cosmetically tweaked and specced R8 Coupe to celebrate Audi’s 10th Le Mans win. Audi has had an incredible run at Le Mans, and is celebrating in style by launching the Audi R8 V8 Limited Edition in to the UK market. Despite the R8 Limited Edition being built […]
Audi R8 Spyder raises £620k for Elton John AIDS Foundation
Audi donated 2 chromed Audi R8 Spyders for Elton John’s White Tie & Tiara Auction this weekend, raising £620k for the Elton John AIDS Foundation in the process. The Elton John AIDS Foundation (EJAF) needs no big introduction from us, especially to regular readers. Quite simply, it’s an astonishingly generous charitable foundation founded by, and driven ever […]
Audi A1 1.6 TDI nips below 100g/km Co2
Audi has tweaked the A1 1.6 TDI to improve its economy by 5 per cent and reduce it’s Co2 emissions to 99g/km. The price remains the same. It’s of no use whatsoever for anything that actually matters, but getting below 100g/km Co2 is a big marketing deal for any car maker. Which is why Audi has been busy tweaking […]
