Audi is serious about EVs. Over the last four months, the four-ringed automaker has put out three (well, really 2.5) electric vehicle concepts: the first e-tron in Frankfurt, a repainted, slightly modified version in LA, and now this, the third e-tron – easily the best iteration to date. Slightly... 

Sigh. Another day, another 500+ horsepower supercar to babysit for a week. Such is my lot in life. Obviously I’m joking, to a degree. To be honest, I wasn’t that particularly jazzed about the Audi R8 with the defanged Lambo LP560-4 V10 shoehorned behind the seats, especially as I had... 

Audi of America President Johan de Nysschen doesn’t seem to be a big fan of electric vehicles, yet the four-ringed automaker appears to be warming to the green tech. Since de Nysschen’s assault on the Chevrolet Volt (and electric vehicles in general), the German luxury automaker has unveiled... 

In the automotive world, price is increasingly a function of degrees. How’s that? Dial in a faster windscreen angle, aggressively rake the rear glass and – voilà! – you’ve just padded your margins to the tune of a few thousand bucks. Take a plain-jane sedan, hire some stylists to... 

The Audi R8 is undoubtedly awesome. It is also undoubtedly low, as in to the ground. Not low enough to prevent you from getting around, but you pay close attention anytime the word “driveway” comes up. Cargraphic has engineered an airlift system to address the issue that can raise the... 

While fanatics around the world debate the supremacy of one sportscar over another based on numbers alone, here at Autoblog we postulate that such exotic machinery is only as good as its capacity to transport you to another place, if not in body then in your mind. So bear with us and imagine the... 

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. Instead,... 

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... 

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... 

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’ll just come right out and say it: Audi lost the plot with the last generation S4. Unlike the twin-turbocharged V6-equipped B5, its B6 and B7 brethren did little to stoke the flames in our collective hearts. The “S” simply stood for, “I paid more for a bigger engine and... 

Quality costs. Ask a recording engineer. For the same money you’ll burn on a pile of inexpensive, non-serviceable gear whose greatest virtue is that “it works,” you could alternatively purchase one channel’s worth of serious equipment. The trade-off is that the real kit sounds...
