The Audi R8 has been a runaway success. Even in these difficult times it’s still selling better than ayone could have expected. And the launch of the Audi R8 V10 recently at the Detroit Motor Show has just upped interest in Audi’s ‘Halo’ car. But where do Audi go from here? Well, we know that […]
Audi Q5 Custom Concept
The Audi Q5 is a great, sensible sized 4×4. It excels in the same areas as Audi’s recently facelifted Audi Q7, but in a much more manageable-sized package. And its market-place is undoubtedly ‘Yummie-Mummies’ and those seeking a sensible, and well-equipped, 4×4. So why, you may ask, has Audi gone all ‘Pimp My Ride’ on […]
Audi opens ‘Terminal’ Showroom in India
Premium car makers have always had very modest sales in India. Despite some wealth in the past, there was never really the prospect of a big premium car market in India, particularly with the huge import duties on cars. But things are changing. Premium car makers are starting to build cars in India, and all […]
Audi Stop-Start Introduced
Of all the major car makers, Audi has probably coped with the changing car landscape better than the rest. From posting record car sales for 2008, despite the gloom and doom that has permeated the whole car industry, to launching more new models than you can count, the push is onward and upward. And the […]
Audi R8 V10 – the Commercial
Audi has something of a habit of coming up with some cracking commercials. It produced a brilliant advert for the World Superbowl last year featuring a pastiche of the Godfather film. And it’s been going head to head with BMW on billboards in California for weeks. But this advert for the Audi R8 V10 is […]
Audi R8 V12 Diesel canned – but it’s old news
The interweb is full of stories today revealing that Audi has dropped plans to produce a diesel version of the fabulous R8. The Audi R8 V12 diesel was first shown to a pretty astonished motoring press (and it takes a lot to astonish us) at the Detroit Motor show early last year. So keen were […]
Audi RS5 – Spy shots show it’s close
The last time we saw the Audi RS5 out testing at the Nurburgring, it appeared to be pretty much undisguised. The video we had earlier of the RS5 (which has now been removed by YouTube) showed the RS5 lapping the Nurburgring at a fair lick. But it would appear that the car we saw then […]
Audi A8 W12 and Audi S8 cancelled for 2010
In a move that seems designed to protect Porsche and Bentley, it has been revealed that there will be no W12 or V10 version of Audi’s new A8 in 2010.
Audi Q3 coming in 2011
Despite the late arrival on the scene of the Audi Q7, the 4×4 behemoth from Audi has certainly made its mark. Followed recently by the Q5, it has carved a niche for Audi that is standing up remarkably well in the current climate. But Audi are intent on capitalising on their 4×4 success story, and […]
Audi Q7 gets a facelift
Three years after the Audi Q7 was first introduced, Audi has given the big SUV a facelift for 2009 (2010MY) with small exterior updates and a new MMI system.
