REPORT: Audi twists e-tron concept's 3319 lb-ft torque rating 3 days ago on Autoblog

When introduced at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September, Audi boasted its all-electric e-tron was fitted with four electric motors producing "230 kW (313 horsepower) and 4,500 Nm (3,319.03 pound-feet) of torque." While the e-tron's styling may have raised a few eyebrows, we were notably moved by ...

Inside Line editors pick their 'Most Wanted' for 2010 - do you agree? 3 days ago on Autoblog

We love award season, even if it is a bit tough to keep up with them all. Motor Trend has a set of golden calipers for its Car, Truck and SUV of the Year winners. Car and Driver has its 10Best. Automobile has the, well, the Automobile of the Year. Then there's Edmunds Inside Line and its six ...

At the LA Auto Show this morning, the Audi A3 TDI was crowned the 2010 Green Car of the Year, wresting the title away from last year's winner, the Volkswagen Jetta TDI. Even though three hybrids made this year's list of finalists, the A3's win marks the second year in a row that a TDI diesel car ...

Suzuki's Kizashi Test Drive Challenge offers $100 to Audi A4 and Acura TSX buyers 3 days ago on Autoblog

It's best to aim high, right? While most of the automotive world (ourselves included) are busy comparing the rather wonderful Suzuki Kizashi with logical competitors like the Volkswagen Jetta – not to mention larger cars like the Honda Accord, Mazda6 and Ford Fusion – it seems the ...

LA 2009: Audi R8 Spyder is shown again, this time in red 4 days ago on Autoblog

This isn't the first time we've seen the drop-top Audi R8 Spyder. Images were leaked in early September, and we were there in Frankfurt for its official debut. That said, its unveiling at the LA Auto Show was less than climactic... other than the fact the Spyder was sporting a flashy bright-red ...

LA 2009: Audi e-tron, orange you terribly sad it was repainted 4 days ago on Autoblog

We weren't exactly electrified by Audi's e-tron concept when it debuted at the Frankfurt Motor Show in blazing red paint this past September, but we did like the color. So, when the e-tron reappeared at the LA Auto Show this week wearing orange... bummer. As a refresh, the e-tron concept uses ...

Autoblog Podcast #155 - 'Twas the night before the LA Auto Show... 5 days ago on Autoblog

With the LA Auto Show near at hand, Chris, Dan, and Editor Extraordinaire Paukert sat down and talked over some of the latest for Episode #155 of the Autoblog Podcast. First up is the surprisingly thorough re-rework of the Mustang, before we move on to talk about the early release of U.S.-spec ...

2011 Audi A8 revealed amidst the stars at Design Miami 2009 6 days ago on Autoblog

We've just returned from the Audi A8 world premiere here at Miami's star-studded Design Week, and we've got a slew of images of the new range-topping sedan. More evolutionary than revolutionary in style, the new wundersedan is nevertheless an impressive looking piece with the visual charisma to ...

REPORT: Audi intent on keeping upcoming A1 premium 6 days ago on Autoblog

After watching from the sidelines for years as arch-rival BMW found success with the Mini brand, Audi is finally gearing up to jump into the scrum with the new A1. But unlike the Mini One (which slots below the Cooper in overseas markets), Audi doesn't intend to target the budget market. ...

VIDEO: Audi tracks down the last Horch... in Texas? 10 days ago on Autoblog

You have August Horch to thank for Audi. A former engineer for Karl Benz, Horch started the second oldest company of the original four companies that merged to form Auto Union (the first was Wanderer). But it was Horch whose name, translated into Latin, became "Audi." The last Horch was built ...

Review: 2009 Audi A8L - requiem for a heavyweight 11 days ago on Autoblog

We come not to bury the A8L, but to praise it. Next week the newest generation of Audi's aluminum spaceframe panzer will greet the world in Miami, and we expect it to be a leap through a wormhole compared to today's car. After a week with the current model at the end of its six-year run, we ...

Audi RS6 Avant driver reportedly caught going 133 MPH with nearly 2,000 pounds of pot 12 days ago on Autoblog

If you read publications about cars long enough, you'll no doubt catch on to our pro-wagon bias. In fact, if us auto-journo types ran things, SUVs, CUVs and sedans would be banned, and all passenger cars would either be mid-engined, 500 horsepower coupes or 600 hp wagons. With manuals and roll ...

Rumormill: 600hp twin-turbo Audi R8 replacement in the works? 13 days ago on Autoblog

We've learned to take "scoops" from Auto Express with a grain of salt. But Britain's car tabloid says they have it on good authority that Audi is working on an even more extreme successor to the current range-topping R8 supercar. Dubbed the R10, the heart of the new four-ringed exotic is ...

REPORT: Bentley, Ferrari, Lamborghini not attending LA Auto Show 16 days ago on Autoblog

Here's an unsurprising stat for you: 60 percent of all vehicles sold in the U.S. that cost over $100,000 find homes in New York, Florida and California. The majority of which are parked in garages in Manhattan, Miami and Los Angeles, respectively. So the revelation that Bentley, Ferrari and ...

Spy Shots: 2011 Audi A7 caught in production form 16 days ago on Autoblog

The intrepid spy shooters at KGP have caught the 2011 Audi A7 uncovered in a testing lab in Germany ahead of its official reveal next year, and the sleek, low-slung saloon/coupe hasn't lost much of its flavor in the transition from showcar to production. Although the shots don't give us a ...

VIDEO: Audi teases the new A8 ahead of Sunshine State debut 16 days ago on Autoblog

We still have a bit over a week until Audi officially pulls the wraps off its next-generation A8 flagship sedan in Miami. As a holdover, however, they have released a teaser video, and we've got it for you. The operative word here is tease. As usual, very little of the car is actually shown, ...

MTM Audi TT RS packs up to 424 horsepower, 185 mph top speed 17 days ago on Autoblog

German tuner MTM has a long history with Audi's inline-five. In fact, company founder Roland Mayer helped develop the turbocharged five-banger for the Sport Quattro back in the mid-80s, and MTM produced a 400 horsepower version of the motor as one of their earliest performance packages. Nearly ...

2011 Audi A8 to debut November 30th at Design Miami 17 days ago on Autoblog

Audi's centennial celebration is winding down, but the German brand isn't quite ready to switch off the lights. There's at least one more big model debut planned for its 100th anniversary, and in just over a week Audi will pull the sheets off the all-new 2011 Audi A8. Although the uber-sedan ...

VIDEO: Yes, the 2010 Audi S4 can drift 17 days ago on Autoblog

When we drove the 2010 Audi S4, we praised the sedan's trick electronic rear differential for its ability to shuffle torque between the rear wheels to give the sensation, if not the exact effect, of oversteer. Unfortunately, our track time was spent in an e-diffless model, so we didn't get to ...

Quattro Shock: Forthcoming Audi A1 lineup reportedly to arrive without AWD 18 days ago on Autoblog

Audi and Quattro go together like peanut butter and jelly, but Autobild is reporting that the four-ringed automaker's fabulous all-wheel drive system will be excluded from the forthcoming A1 mini car. We're a little surprised to hear that the Quattro tech won't be added considering that the ...

VW building $125M flagship dealer complex on Manhattan's west side 23 days ago on Autoblog

Volkswagen is building swanky new digs on New York City's west side for its VW and Audi brands. The automaker has purchased a 256,000 square foot space currently occupied by Potamkin GM (the Potamkin family has been synonymous with car sales in NY for decades), which stretches between 55th and ...

VIDEO: Heffner Performance teases Twin Turbo Audi R8 23 days ago on Autoblog

We're starting to see this type of thing more and more. And by "type of thing" we mean dyno teasers, not twin-turbo Audis. Nonetheless, you are staring at the unclothed rump of an Audi R8 with two massive turbochargers sitting on a four-wheel dynometer. And the results are, well, calling them ...

Spy Shots: More LA-based pics of the mystery psychedelic-wrap Audi 24 days ago on Autoblog

"Whatever it may be, I like it!" So says Autoblog commenter P.V. concerning a mysterious series of camoflaged Audis that have been popping up all over the place (this one was caught again in Southern California). We tend to agree. In fact, we feel this way about most new Audis -- especially ...

VIDEO: Are you the 2011 Audi A8? Or are you the 2011 Audi A6? 25 days ago on Autoblog

Well, is it? Hard to say. We do know that both a new Audi A8 and A6 are headed our way sooner rather than later. Sooner, as in the South Florida International Auto Show for one of the new Audis, and/or Geneva for the other. We're pretty sure that the car captured in the video you'll soon be ...

Audi drops more photos and info on "Shelley", the autonomous TT-S 28 days ago on Autoblog

We first heard about the latest autonomous driving project from Stanford University and the Volkswagen Group a couple of weeks ago. Audi has released some more information on the car, a TT-S coupe that, like its predecessors, Stanley and Junior, has a name: Shelley. Shelley's being developed to ...

LA Auto Show Design Challenge reveals Youthmobile 2030 design entries 1 month ago on Autoblog

This year's iteration of the annual Design Challenge at the LA Auto Show asks the question: How will a new generation of drivers age 16-23, raised with cell phones, web cams and online communities, emotionally connect to the automobile in 2030? We don't know the answer either, but at least six ...

VIDEO: Audi in on developing dashboard-mounted buddy robot 1 month ago on Autoblog

We don't know where carmakers got the idea that we want intelligent robots learning our behavior and then talking to us. Wherever it was, we don't want it any more than they thought we did 25 years ago in a talking Maxima. Nissan has its PIVO concept, which has the distinction of being as creepy ...

Abuelsamid, Lieberman, Roth and Shunk. Sounds like a law firm, but it's this week's podcast crew. Car and Driver editor-in-chief Eddie Alterman bravely wades into the pool and joins us for Episode #151 of the Autoblog Podcast, as well. We spend a goodly amount of time going over what's in ...

Suzuki dresses up a Kizashi for Halloween 1 month ago on Autoblog

The boys and girls at Suzuki got into the Halloween spirit and dressed up a new Kizashi to celebrate the day. So what kind of costume would you put on a new sedan that aspires to redefine the company and show that this small carmaker can play with the big boys? Much like a kid who slaps a ...

VIDEO: Dogs like trucks. Leopards apparently prefer Audis. 1 month ago on Autoblog

You've pretty much achieved Tony Montana status when you can keep a big cat as a pet. But how do you transport Fluffy around when it's time to venture beyond that "The World Is Yours" statue at the homestead? Apparently, the preferred method of this particular leopard-owning baller is to simply ...

REPORT: Evidence mounting that 2010 Audi S4 is underrated 1 month ago on Autoblog

To many people, Audi is replacing BMW as the go-to yuppie-mobile of choice. For one thing, Walter de'Silva's designs are almost universally lauded (Q7 notwithstanding) whereas the new crop of Bangled Bimmers are... controversial to put it as nicely as humanly possible. But it's not just down to ...

Spy Shots: 2011 Audi A8 coming with four-cylinder turbodiesel, new V12 under development 1 month ago on Autoblog

Camouflaged prototypes of the 2011 Audi A8 have been caught running the Nurburgring, and accompanying these newest shots comes word that Audi's reworked flagship will be available with a host of new powerplants. According to reports, Audi's range-topper will continue to be available with a ...

Intel Inside: Audi launching special Forza edition TT? 1 month ago on Autoblog

As far as art imitating life goes, it doesn't get much more realistic than Forza 3. But it was only a matter of time before life would in turn imitate art, and here it is: the Audi TT Forza Motorsport Edition. Launched by Audi in conjunction with Microsoft, the Forza edition TT is being ...

Spy Shots: Audi A1 spotted wearing swirlies and not much else 1 month ago on Autoblog

Audi probably won't be taking the wraps completely off its new small car until the Geneva Motor Show next March, but spy shooters are already out there hunting down the prototypes. The clearest image we've seen yet shows a mini-car that appears to have changed very little from the MetroProject ...

Old School Haulin' - MFK Autosport's Powercar RS6 1 month ago on Autoblog

While most shops focus on tuning the latest Euro hotness, MFK has put its efforts into modifying the old-school (C5) Audi RS6, dropping the wagon over a set of 20x10.5-inch wheels and stretching some sticky 285/25 Dunlop rubber over each satin black, three-piece hoop. Unfortunately, MFK ...
