Audi has released details of the changes to the Audi TT for 2009, including more models with the quattro option and the S-Line pack available across almost all the range.

2009 Audi Q5 Review
Cars UK [rating:4.5] As with the Q7, Audi is a little late to the party with its new mid-size 4×4 SUV, the Audi Q5. The Q5 is aimed in the sights of the BMW X3, although it is arguable that it will take sales from not just the mid range 4x4s, but also a number […]
Audi R8 V10 to debut at Detroit – Spyder coming soon
The much anticipated Audi R8 V10 (Audi R10?) is to make its first official appearance at the Detroit Motor Show in January 2009. The R8 has been a massive hit worldwide. It did seem when Audi launched the R8 that it might just be a step too far. How can a mainstream car maker pull-off […]

Want an Audi Quattro? You’re not the only one.
Being male, and Clarkson-aged, I remember, and owned, many of the ‘Classic’ cars which have turned up in hit TV series in recent years. For many years now they’ve just been fond memories, periodically stimulated by looking at old photos, but cars like these are becoming more and more common on our roads, according to […]
Audi S5 dumps the V8
I suppose it’s a sign of the times. Audi is going to dump the V8 in the S5 and replace it with supercharged V6. Great engine though the V8 is, it’s getting pretty old. And it’s heavy. And it’s thirsty. So, this is actually a really good move by Audi. No more nose-heavy V8 with […]
