Audi A7
Filed under Automotive
Last week, the Audi A7 leaked online, and a day later, it was officially launched in Munich, Germany.

Briefly, the 5-door, fastback coupe is Audi’s own unique foray into the sport coupe segment with rear passenger doors. Audi describes the car as a combination of elegant coupe, sport sedan and practical wagon. Riding on 18 to 20-inch wheels, the A7’s chassis comes with aluminum control arms and a highly-efficient electromechanical power steering. A drive select system comes standard but the adaptive air suspension with controlled damping will be offered only as an option.

Also optional will be the LED headlights while bi-xenon with LED taillights are standard. Of those V6 engines, two petrol and two diesel will be available, Audi has only named the 3.0 liter TDI with 150 kW (204 hp) for now. It says the top engine will be a 220 kW (300 hp) offering but doesn’t say which V6 that will be.

The S-Line version:

TVC: Audi R8 – ‘Beauty and the Beasts’
Filed under Automotive, TVC, Youtube/Vimeo/Videos
This is a nice one, but could be confusing for the most part.
The shoot is very beautiful, with the rough and tumble jalopies racing around to a Rockabilly soundtrack in a white studio-like warehouse. The cars are in stark contrast to their surroundings unlike a sleek R8 Spyder that comes on the scene as the soundtrack changes to something that might be going through your mind when you first view the mid-engined Audi. I particularly loved the tag line “Mirror, Signal, Outmanoeuvre”.

Here comes Audi A7!
Filed under Automotive
The first official images of the all new Audi A7 Sportback are making the internet rounds today ahead of the sport saloon’s debut on Monday. These photos prove that the production car has stayed remarkably true to the 2009 Detroit Show concept’s appearance.

Most differences concern practical details such as the shape and size of the exterior mirrors, and the air-inlets on the front bumper. The car also keeps the show car’s five-door body style with a practical rear hatch.
In a similar fashion, the styling of the interior is almost identical to the concept, sans the colors and the decorative trim. From what we know, the just-under 5-meters long A7 Sportback will be strictly for four passengers.

No official details yet, so let’s not speculate other stuffs so soon.

Audi R8 Spyder: Sex on wheels!
Filed under Automotive, Youtube/Vimeo/Videos
Watch this video to see what I mean.
The german supercar literally spits flames in the hands of Audi’s own DTM champion Mattias Ekström.
First he drops the top for better sound effects, then tries out the 7-step Launch Control system said to hurl the 525 hp car from 0 – 100km/h in 4.1 seconds. After several turns in the empty underground parking lot, most of which involve some oversteering, he declares it to be a true sports car.

Audi Wins Le Mans 2010: 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Places!
Filed under Automotive, Sports
AUDI reclaimed the Le Mans 24 Hours crown on Sunday with Germany’s Timo Bernhard taking the chequered flag at the wheel of the first R15 car in a 1-2-3 finish at the Circuit de la Sarthe.

The non-works Peugeot Oreca was fourth after the French manufacturer, who ended Audi’s five-year reign last year, saw their three works cars retire with mechanical failures.
Peugeot had looked race favourites after sweeping the front two rows of the grid in qualifying and then initially holding their positions at the start of the race.
The French team suffered a setback after three hours when their pacesetting car, which locally-born ex-Formula One driver Sebastien Bourdais had put on pole, withdrew due to suspension failure.
Audi, who had since 2000 won eight editions of the world’s oldest sportscar race which started in 1923, were meanwhile playing the long game and survived all the race incidents.
In front of more than 200,000 people, the shock of the race came 20 minutes after the 55 cars had left the grid when former Formula One world champion Nigel Mansell crashed at the entrance of the famous 6.2 km Mulsanne straight.
The winning Audi completed 397 laps over 24 hours for 3,367 miles, the fastest Le Mans ever.

Nice work: Audi A9 concept
Filed under Arts & Crafts, Automotive, Interest, Visual Graphics & Images
At a glance, Daniel Garcia’s Audi A9 concept is a little too reminiscent of BMW’s Vision EfficientDynamics Concept, but deep inside, it’s definitely an Audi from every angle. It could end up as a real production car one day in the future, who knows?
