  1. Virtual Holiday Mantle (VHM): Greetings from MTM in Snow-Covered Ingolstadt



    Our friends at Audi tuner MTM have dropped us their 2010 e-card, sharing just how snow-covered their headquarters just outside of Ingolstadt is. Alas, while quattro is in the cards for the Audi A1 we doubt their car has it. We're betting it could use all-wheel drive right about now.

    Visit MTM's website HERE.

  2. Virtual Holiday Mantle (VHM): Greetings from Leading Photshop Renderer Larson



    We're guessing you've heard of Larson or at least seen his work in leading magazines like Auto Motor und Sport and Road and Track. We like to think we're pretty good around the Fourtitude offices at creating cool renders of future vehicles but we pale in comparison to our friend Larson.

    In addition to his rendering skills, Lars also tells us he's a fan of Audi and in particular Audi design. For these ...
  3. Virtual Holiday Mantle (VHM): Greetings from Maserati



    One of the e-cards to come across our email inbox was from Audi competitor Maserati. Though we still prefer Ingolstadt alloy to the brand of the trident we still recognize their cars as fantastic works of automotive art.

  4. B8 Audi RS 4 Dead But C7 RS 6 Coming Says Car & Driver German Correspondent Jens Meiners



    There are a couple of German journalists who've become quite prolific thanks to their usually accurate early reads on moves by the German manufacturers. We usually plug Georg Kacher as the Grand Poobah of that particular Water Buffalo club and C&D's Jens Meiners is definitely an honorary member. So when Jens filed a story over on caranddriver.com this ...
  5. Audi RS 3 Configurator Added to German Market Audi.de Website



    The Audi RS 3 may have been revealed several weeks ago but the brand's home market consumer website hadn't taken the RS 3 section of its build-your-own configurator live with the reveal. At the time we suspect there were plenty of potential RS 3 buyers and A3 owners from RS 3 challenged markets with OE+ parts upgrades dancing in their heads who wanted to know more details about the car.

    Well wait no more. We've just ...
  6. Next-Generation Audi RS 6 Render from Theophilus Chin



    Theophilus Chin is at it again with another C7 render, this time the next Audi RS 6. From the looks of it Chin added silver mirrors and honeycomb grille to the C7, and from there pulled styling cues such as the chin, box flares and tri-five alloys straight from the current C6-generation RS 6.

    Chin's got two images on his website (linked below), including a rear shot that appears to have a lower ...
  7. US-Spec(ish) Audi A4 allroad Caught Testing Stateside



    Road and Track Magazine has published photos of an A4 allroad (not the one above) caught winter testing in the States. R&T points out the US-spec bits on the car such as the amber corner markers and US plate holder at the front. They also confirm the car had a speedo in miles rather than metric. The magazine says an A4 allroad is coming and that it will likely ...
  8. Audi Super Bowl Ad Presence to Integrate Heavily into Social Media - Facebook & Twitter



    Several weeks ago Audi USA did confirm that it will launch a commercial ad campaign around this year's NFL Super Bowl. In the past Audi has run high-visibility ads such as the Godfather inspired new luxury R8 piece, the time-warping Jason Statham A6 3.0T commercial and last year's controversial Green Police A3 TDI spot. Just which car Audi will push in the 2011 spot remains to be seen but USA Today ...
  9. Green Audi A3 from SEMA Featured on Eurotuner.com



    Remember that green Audi A3 that turned up in our coverage of the 2010 SEMA Show ? At the time we didn't know much about it but now thanks to Sam Du and our buddies over at Eurotuner we have more information about the car.

    Los Angelino Jose Romo started out in the Euro lowrider scene that is actually more Hondas than Euros. However, he's moved on and up to an ...
  10. Video + MP3: Audi and Basement Jaxx Team for New A7 Commercial Spot in Europe



    We've just stumbled across Audi's latest A7 ad spot over on Prefixmag.com. The basic premise is an evolving CGI rorschach type of theme that evolves from brain eventually to the A7, emphasizing perhaps some of the thought that went behind the A7. It's visually very cool but even cooler because the soundtrack that goes with it ...
