Just A Few Reasons to Love the Audi A4

Just what is it about the 2012 Audi A4 that brings so many Dallas and Fort Worth drivers into the Boardwalk Audi showroom for a test drive? Well, we have a few ideas, but it'd be impossible to narrow that list down to just one or two things. It's both beautifully designed and exciting to drive, with a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, three luxuriously appointed trim levels, and two impressive body styles...

Audi releases first Truth in 24 II trailer

Truth in 24 II Trailer

Three years ago, Audi released the documentary Truth in 24 highlighting its three-car effort at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Despite the Four Ring's success at the race in the last decade, they were undoubtedly the underdogs to the much faster Peugeot teams that year, making for a Hollywood-like ending when Audi managed to take home the victory with teamwork and a little help from the weather.

The first film was such a success that Audi announced earlier this year that they would release Truth in 24 II, once again featuring their three-car team battling Peugeot at the…

Audi Legend Set to Climb Pike's Peak Again

Today, when drivers take on the Pike's Peak International Hill Climb, they do so on pavement for the entire 12.42 miles. It's one of the most highly-anticipated racing events every year, with drivers from around the world making the trip to Colorado to try their luck at becoming "King of the Mountain." But, 25 years ago, when Walter Rohrl set the 10 minute, 47.85 second record, it was gravel - all 156 turns.

The record has been...

AWD vs. One Wheel Drive: Audi TT RS Plus pitted against Ducati 1199 Panigale S

Ducati 1199 Panigale versus Audi TT RS

It was only a matter of time, folks. As soon as Audi finalized its purchase of the Ducati brand, we knew to expect a slew of comparison tests pitting the German automaker's finest wares against the two-wheeled exotica rolling out of Italy's best-known motorcycle maker.

The scribes from Germany's Auto Bild have indeed taken up the challenge. But what machinery to choose? Naturally, the mind first turns to the R8 supercar and its Lamborghini-derived V10 engine, but, in reality, Audi officials have conceded to us that its 360-horsepower TT RS is actually quicker around most race…

2013 Audi S7 [w/video]

Performance With Poise

2013 Audi S7

As reaction settles down to news that Audi has scooped up Italian bikemaker Ducati right from under the nose of Mercedes-Benz for a cool billion, we can now get back to the four-wheeled performance Audi does best. And there are few better ways I can think of doing that than throwing body and mind into a fully optioned new Audi S7 and hitting the sunny German countryside.

At least for this scribe-driver, Audi does a much finer job on its S models than it attempts to do on the RS versions. Not that the RS lineup is…

Audi Still Wants to Know Why You #WantAnR8

Did you miss your chance to get behind the wheel of an Audi R8 last year? That's okay - Audi's #WantAnR8 Twitter campaign was such a success in 2011, they've brought it back so avid Audi enthusiasts and tweeters can win an R8 for the day.


It all started when Joanne McCoy tweeted @Audi about how badly she'd love to drive an R8. She tagged it, #WantAnR8, and Audi took notice. And...

2012 Audi A6 Allroad Quattro biturbo diesel

Don't Get Too Attached To This Larger Allroad

2012 Audi A6 Allroad Quattro

As an American living in Italy, there are often entire month-long stretches where I drive nothing but European cars that will sadly never come out to play on American soil. Such is the case for the abundantly adored Audi A6 Allroad Quattro seen here. I was initially of the assumption that since the A4 Allroad had already been confirmed for the U.S. that the A6 Allroad would be coming as well, but I am dismayed to report otherwise.

Such a pity, too. The business case for giving North America the…

Audi developing powertrain sound of the future for R8 e-tron

Filed under: , , , , ,

audi e-sound

Audi knows sound, and it wants its upcoming plug-in cars to have as distinctive a grumble as possible, just like its fossil-fuel-burning brethren. That's why Audi engineers are working on "new sound signatures" for future e-tron models. You can tell how seriously Audi is taking this by the way it references the sounds a car makes to music and "emotional sound structures" in the press release below.

The stated reason for all this e-sound work is so pedestrians will be able to hear the near-silent EVs, but you could just…
