Audi A8 Design Sketch Hinting on Next-Gen?

Supposedly this is the drawing for the current Audi A8, but from what I can see, the real car is nowhere near this beautiful, not even 1%. So maybe it’s a hint of the next-gen?

TVC: Audi quattro

This ad by Audi is quite a good one. Autoblog even goes to the extent of saying “unique marketing campaign which uses a simple statement to deliver a brilliant message“.

Beastly showdown: Audi R8 V10 vs Audi RS6

It’s been almost 2 weeks since I last blogged; been really busy with moving-in and work.

Anyway, here’s a showdown video between Audi‘s very own beasts. As much as I like showdown videos, this one is definitely a must-watch for all :)

Note: These are stock cars, with limiters removed. No other major modifications were made. I won’t be bothered posting about this if they were entirely modded cars.

Audi A7

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’

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!

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.
