We knew a version of the 4.0T was coming for the A8, S8, S6, S7, RS 7 and RS 6 but these details really confirm more about time in market and also horsepower.

    If this accurate, then we're reading this that the horsepower for the A8 fitment ...

  3. Audi S6 Renders Surface on AutoLifestyle.NL



    We've just spotted a pair (front above, rear after the link) over on AutoLifestyle.nl. The shots appear to take S-line imagery from the A6's Italian press launch and sticks to the basics of converting the car to an S6 based on known styling changes employed on the most recently updated TT S-line and TTS.

  4. Gulf Livery Audi A1. Michael Dick's New Ride?



    There's an under ground parking garage at the Audi Forum Ingolstadt and we'll admit that, for this editor at least, it's a must-see destination when I hit the Audi Forum Ingolstadt. Like minds have caught RS 5 test mules and RS-chinned S5 cabs in here from what we've seen and though we've spotted neither, a visit to the garage is always good for catching an Audi Exclusive painted high-spec four-ringer or a few executive ...
  5. Spied: Second Audi S5 with RS 5 Nose Spotted at Ingolstadt Headquarters



    Our favorite German Audi blog Qarsi.de has posted a shot of an S5 Cabriolet wearing the nose of an RS 5 spied at the Audi Forum Ingolstadt. This is the second S5 Cabrio we've seen fitted with the RS chin and the first led a number of our readers to suggest this might be an indication of the facelift expected next year.

    So What Do We Think?
    Two things come to mind. First, we heard reference ...

    We first heard about the upcoming 4.0T FSI several years ago from a highly-placed source as a likely candidate for future S8, S6, S7 and even RS variants as Audi downsizes out of V10s. We've even written about it several times ( HERE , HERE , HERE , and HERE ). Bentley even confirmed their own intent to use the motor in their Paris press release about the ...
  7. Spied: Audi Q3 Test Mules Hit the Road



    The Audi Q3 moves ever close to production with market availability expected (in Europe at least) by the end of the year. Knowing that car is so soon in the shoot, we've not been surprised over the last few weeks to see disguised test mules out and about testing.

    We've just stumbled across a set of shots published by our friends Audiblog.nl that show the car from multiple angles. We're not positive, ...
  8. Visions of a C7 Audi RS 6 by Acerbus



    If you read this blog then the name Acerbus probably isn't new to you. We've featured renderings from the Poland-based designer before when he imagined an Audi RS 7 and a new Audi S8 .

    This time Acerbus has taken the same care in creating an RS 6 based on shots of the new C7 Audi A6 that was first shown back in December.

  9. Theophilus Chin Takes a Stab at the Upcoming Audi A9



    We reported recently about an intel report we'd caught out of Automobile Magazine and their illustrious German contributor Georg Kacher. The piece was mainly about the architecture development movements within the Volkswagen Group including that of a new MSB front mid-engine large car chassis destined for future large automobiles from the Volkswagen Group's portfolio of models including Audi. Among the rumored ...

    On location at the Fascination quattro event in Mont Tremblant, Quebec last week we had the opportunity to have dinner with quattro GmbH boss Stefan Reil.
