  2. R8 Card Revokage in Loading Zone Please: Owner Hauls Big Screen on Roof of Audi Exotic



    What happens when you're at Best Buy in the R8 and the deal on the big screen is just that good? Answer: Not this.

    Fourtitude contributor and Audi Wilmington (DE) Audi brand specialist Tommy Mihok just passed this over having spotted it on Team Speed. It is our hope that the two young mugs blacked out behind the box are perhaps the owner's sons who simply don't get it. If not, we ...
  3. Video: Audi A7 Spy Footage Shows Disguised Test Mule Under Tests



    We've just stumbled across this footage (below) posted by VAUMAXde to YouTube. The footage shows an Audi A7 test mule from multiple angles testing everywhere from public roads to the Nurburgring. A7 mules have been spotted plenty in photos but not much video has been seen yet so we figured it was a must-watch for most on here.

    We spotted the video over on GermanCarBlog.com with some ...

  5. Video: 5th Gear Tests the D4 Audi A8: Just Like KITT but without Hasselhoff



    5th Gear's Jonny Smith has filed a piece on the new A8 and it's quite entertaining. Typical 5th Gear spots include beautiful ambiance, a bit of whit and a quick rundown on the car. The summary is about what we'd expect and what we've seen - big compliments for the car's quality and delivery and a bit of a let-down on the looks as it ...
  6. Slammed Audi RS 6 Avant Featured on Klutch



    Okay, the fact that the owner may have used 21-inch Mercedes-Benz AMG wheels or slammed the car to swallow up the tops of any rubber may be controversial but we're guessing the overall effect is less so. We've just found shots of this cool and very modified RS 6 Avant photographed by our friend Joachim Naess and featured on Klutch Online. The car hails from France, which is impressive as we hear their ...
  7. Random Shot: Audi TT-R DTM Racer in Wind Tunnel Testing



    The IEDEI blog that came onto our radar a few months back when it broke the story of a Canadian MTM distributor looking to import new RS 6s stateside has run another cool story... well... photo. No background is provided but the blog's 'foto of the day' (above) appears to be a shot from Audi or Abt Sportsline. The car is a Mk1 TT coupe in aerodynamic development for the DTM series. The TT-R was only raced during the 2003 ...
  8. Rupert Stadler Confirms Audi Ur e-tron to be Built in Neckarsulm



    Audi's "e" development wing set with the task of planning electric mobility for the four rings may be based in Ingolstadt but it appears production of their first product, known simply as "e-tron" will go to Neckarsulm. Audi has never made a secret that it intends to build ...
  9. Audi A1 Driving Impressions from Car & Driver Magazine


    Car & Driver European contributor Jens Meiners has published a driving review of the A1 following its launch with the European press last week. We're always impressed with Meiners' grasp of the Audi brand and accuracy in Audi intel on future product so we read the piece with interest.

    The story's got ...
