Audi has chosen a vampire theme for its Super Bowl television commercials. Things start to look a bit grim when the party runs out of blood. But a fresh new night time delivery is on its way, delivered by an Audi, if course. What could possibly go wrong?

Audi has announced it will be taking four R18 cars to Le Mans this year. Changing things up a little, and with an eye to the future, two of the cars will be running a hybrid drive system. “To develop the hybrid technology for Le Mans is at least as ambitious and challenging as our [...]

Over the next few years, and especially in the short–medium term, you’re going to be reading a lot about Volkswagen’s MQB platform, otherwise known as the Modular Transverse Matrix. MQB will be used in the small-medium segments across the Audi, Seat, Skoda and Volkswagen brands. In the context of VW it will be used to [...]

According to a leaked document from Audi’s Swiss importer a third-generation RS4 Avant quattro running the 331kW 4.2 litre FSI V8 and S tronic from the RS5 will be making its world premiere at the Geneva Motor Show next month.

Car has come up trumps again with some sold info on the Mk3 Audi TT. It’s expected Audi will launch the third-gen TT in 2014 with the company’s R&D boss Michael Dick revealing, “It will be a fusion of the Mk1 and Mk2. Expect a more sinewy and athletic car. The design remains iconic, but [...]

Car magazine brings us a new selection of spy shots for the upcoming third-generation Audi A3. We’re likely to get a full reveal of the A3 at Geneva in March this year. We already have a pretty good idea of what to expect on the inside. It’s believed the new MQB platform is as much [...]

Factory-backed Phoenix Racing has revealed the liveries for its two Audi R8 LMS racecars which have been prepared to be defend Ingolstadt’s honour at the 2012 Bathurst 12 Hour race later next month.

Have you ever thought of getting yourself an Audi R8 V10, chopping it in half, inserting a few bits and pieces and turning it into a limousine able to carry eight passengers? Didn’t think so. But the folks at Limo Broker in the UK have dreamt up such a crazy idea and they’re building it. [...]

Here we have a selection of images from the floor of the Detroit Motor Show, or more correctly, the North American International Auto Show. Unlike Tokyo late last year there’s a noticeable lack of weird and wonderful concept creations, but we certainly applaud the appearance of the Honda NSX Concept. It’s easily the clear star [...]

This is the new Audi A6 allroad. And, unlike its A4 sibling, it will be coming to Australia. The third-generation of A6 Avant-based offroader will be on our shores in the second half of this year. Naturally, the A6 allroad features all the mod cons you’d expect, including four-zone climate control, adaptive cruise control and [...]

Yesterday we brought you a bunch of pics of the new interior from the 2012 Audi A3. Within those images there were a few screen graphics showing an exterior rendering of the third-generation A3. The styling is very similar to the A3 concept from last year’s Geneva Motor Show, as you would expect. Overnight more [...]

Audi has taken a number of displays to the Consumer Electronics Show at Las Vegas which showcase the interior of the next-generation A3. Inadvertently, perhaps, they have given a sneak preview of the new A3 exterior too. Let’s start inside where it seems safe to declare Audi will keep the A3 at the top of [...]

You know how we’ve been telling you Audi could be making an RS version of its Q3 SUV?

The show car features a special “Energy Red” paint and 20″ alloys wearing 255/45 [...]

Australia registered over one million new vehicle sales in 2011 the latest FCAI press release reveals. The final tally of 1,008,437 represents the fourth time the country has passed one million sales in a calendar year.

Back in May when Audi released the A1 clubsport at the Wörthersee show we became a little weak at the knees. Sure, we knew the 370kW in the show car was never going to be likely, but would Audi really make a production model based on this fantasy? Well, as it happens, yes they will. [...]
