2010 Audi RS5

The Audi RS5 is factory tuned hardcore sports car from the German automaker with a more aggressive front end, wider wheel arches and brushed aluminum mirror covers while the interior will be filled with plenty of carbon fiber. Under the hood, the Audi RS5 will be powered by a 4.2 Liter FSI V8 engine and will be coupled with a 7 speed S-tronic gearbox. The power plant will be upgraded to produce 450 HP and will be more than enough to send the RS5 sprinting from 0 to 60 MPH in around 4.5 seconds.

Audi A1 Sportback

It's hard to do battle with MINI in the premium compact segment. The Cooper and its derivatives bring style and nostalgia to the game, proving that consumers are okay with spending some hard-earned scratch on an iconic coupe. The Audi A1 Sportback – designed to fill the slot left by the discontinued A2 – lacks the MINI's wistful sensibilities, but it comes packing an extra set of doors, four usable seats, some handsome sheetmetal and an multimedia interface that ties in with the driver's mobile phone to provide navigation, music and an internet connection. Oh, and it can make calls too.

A 1.4-liter TSI engine equipped with both a turbo and supercharger puts out 150 hp to the front wheels through Audi's S-tronic dual-clutch gearbox, and a 27 hp (and 111 lb.-ft.) electric motor drawing power from a lithium-ion battery pack can motivate the A1 in start-and-stop traffic. Look for the production A1 to debut early next year, with sales beginning in late 2009.

New Audi A8 for 2010 Geneva Motor Show

The new Audi A8 will be about 10cm longer than the current model and that means it’ll set a new standard for the space inside the cabin. To achieve this, the front axle had to move forward by 15cm which is also good for weight distribution. Of course rear passengers will benefit the most from this space increment.

As for styling, the new car will get only subtle changes specially at the front where the Audi grille is bigger than ever and the new headlights are equipped with daytime LED lights. The whole body is also more curvy and sleek than the current design.

And as for mechanics, 2010 Audi A8 has some new features to offer. The basic version will come with a front-wheel-drive system and a CVT gearbox connected to a six-cylinder 2.8 liter engine. The big A8 will also be available with a twin-turbocharged four-cylinder engine! And inevitably, a hybrid variant would come out later on. You still get the big V8 with the top of the range model, so don’t despair!

Audi A1: The Mini-killer gets ready

TFSI engines in various states of tune and a hybrid option will power the Audi A1 – which goes on sale late in 2009. A 1.4-litre turbocharged direct-injection (TFSI) four-cylinder engine producing 110kW and 240Nm and driving through the new seven-speed S tronic DSG gearbox will be the primary powerplant.

Internal combustion drive is augmented by a 30kW electric motor, which thrusts out 200Nm of torque, and is positioned on the rear axle. This unit drives the car exclusively at lower speeds or provides extra muscle (and all-wheel drive) under full throttle. The concept's lithium-ion batteries, which can be charged from a standard electric plug, will keep the Quattro Metroproject (as the A1 is grandiosely named) moving for about 100km.

Economy minded buyers can choose between a 1.2-litre 63kW petrol, and diesels ranging from 1.6-litres and 66kW to 2-litres – all with common rail direct injection. Buyers requiring more spirited performance should have a 125kW option available in the 1.4 TFSI engine available to them too.

Audi drive select – already available in South African on the latest A4 – and magnetic ride should endow the smallest of Audi’s with very tidy ride and handling capabilities.

Audi RSQ Robotic Concept Car

The futuristic film car Audi RSQ was presented to the public for the first time on April 7, 2004 at the New York International Automobile Show. Audi tackles its most ambitious product placement project ever: For the epic event motion picture „I, ROBOT“, Audi Design developed the spectacular vehicle, which helps leading actor Will Smith – a homicide detective in the year 2035 – solve a mystery that could have grave consequences for the human race. Fox releases “I, ROBOT“ in the U.S. on July 16; the film arrives in Germany in August.

In the near future, technology and robots are a trusted part of everyday life. In „I, ROBOT“, that trust is broken and one man, alone against the system, sees it coming. The film employs spectacular visual effects innovations beyond any ever put on screen, to bring a world of robots to life. The film is directed
by Alex Proyas (Dark City, The Crow) and is set in a world created by famed science fiction writer Isaac Asimov in his short story collection “I, ROBOT“.

For the first time ever, Audi developed a car specifically for a major Hollywood motion picture. Audi engineers created a car for „I, ROBOT’s” incredible world of 2035.

Audi Q7 Hybrid – Overview

One of the most refined and opulent SUVs on the market are Audi Q7. It offers world-class styling, a plush cabin, and amenities galore—not to mention a 280-hp engine that launches the Q7 in a rocket-like fashion. Unfortunately, Audi Q7’s fuel economy is dismal. The average highway EPA rating for the 3.6 liter Audi Q7 is 16 mpg, making Audi Q7 as the largest of all Audis—about as eco-unfriendly as a vehicle can get. Audi is attempting to nullify the green penalty when it releases the hybrid version of the Q7 in late 2008.

Audi’s full hybrid system, developed in partnership with VW and Porsche will utilize the same 3.6-liter powerplant found in the current model. The gas engine-electric motor combination will offer various enhancements over the standard powertrain. The hybrid system will add an extra 50-hp thanks to the electric motor, which will draw its energy from a 288-volt nickel metal hydrid battery pack. That means more torque and more pulling power. The seven-seat Audi Q7 Hybrid is expected to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in less than 8 seconds.

But most hybrid drivers would prefer to emphasize efficiency rather than performance. Official figures have not yet been released, but Audi is promising a 27 percent increase in fuel economy over the conventional Audi Q7—with a similar reduction of tailpipe emissions. Therefore, the Audi Q7 Hybrid is expected to offer combined fuel economy around 21 miles per gallon. This is roughly the same math used by GM on its full-size SUV hybrids, like the Chevy Tahoe, the GMC Yukon, and the Cadillac Escalade. Audi Q7’s mileage falls short of the Ford Escape Hybrid, Mercury Mariner, Toyota Highlander, and Lexus RX 400h.

As a full hybrid, Audi Q7 will operate in one of three driving modes: either solely by gas engine, solely by electric motor, or a combination of the two units during periods of acceleration. For drivers with a steady foot, the vehicle will operate in all-electric mode at speeds up to 30 mph, and for distances ranging up to one mile. At that point, the hybrid system will be call upon the gasoline engine to recharge the batteries.

The pairing of this hybrid system to Audi’s advanced quattro all-wheel-drive system will make Audi Q7 one of the most stylish, capable, all-condition, full-size hybrids on the market. Porsche is likely to introduce its Cayenne Hybrid a year or two after Audi Q7 Hybrid arrives on the scene.

2010 Audi A5 Sportback - First Drive Review

With frameless windows and a fast, sloping roofline, the A5 Sportback is a handsome car, but a new concept it is not—sleek hatchback variants derived from their sedan brethren were common in the 1970s. Audi's own original Avant models, for instance, arrived as fastback hatches in 1977 and remained as such through the third-generation Audi 100/5000 sedans, until they were finally replaced with a conventional boxy wagon style in 1990.

The "Sportback" concept goes back quite a ways inside of Audi Design, too. Initially proposed in the late 1990s—down to the name—by designer Marc Florian (now at GM), it morphed through several iterations over the years before it finally emerged as this car and the upcoming A7.

But before you decide you want one, know that the A5 Sportback won't come to the U.S. Audi thinks the market would be too small, and U.S. crash regulations would have required the roofline above the rear passengers to be about 1.5 inches thicker, so extensive reengineering would have been in order. Audi is planning to produce 40,000–50,000 units annually, most of them for Western Europe.

So Many Engines
On the Continent, a whole range of engines is offered. Audi figures the two 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbo-diesels, rated at 143 hp and 170 hp, will be the most popular and account for 40 percent of sales. The 2.0-liter, four-cylinder TFSI gasoline engines, in 180-hp and 211-hp iterations, will account for 25 percent. The remainder will be split between two TDI V-6 turbo-diesels—a 190-hp, 2.7-liter and the ubiquitous 240-hp, 3.0-liter (of Q5, A6, Q7, A8, VW Touareg, and Porsche Cayenne fame)—along with a normally aspirated, 265-hp, 3.2-liter gasoline V-6.

We drove all of them and liked the 211-hp, 2.0-liter four and the 3.0-liter TDI six best. With the turbo-four, the A5 Sportback /feels like a huge, premium GTI: 0 to 62 mph takes in the mid-six-second range, and top speed is 150 mph. You hear a low-pitched, sporty note instead of the typical four-banger drone, and response to throttle input is rapid. The 2.0 TFSI works well with both the six-speed manual and the optional seven-speed dual-clutch automated manual gearbox. It's a light engine, and the A5 Sportback is a very balanced car thus equipped.

Specifications
VEHICLE TYPE: front-engine, 4-wheel-drive, 5-passenger, 5-door wagon
ESTIMATED PRICE AS TESTED (Germany): $60,033 (base price: $47,912)

PERFORMANCE (C/D EST):
Zero to 62 mph: 6.0 sec
Standing ¼-mile: 14.5 sec
Top speed (drag limited): 150 mph


FUEL ECONOMY (C/D EST):
EPA city/highway driving: 22/28 mpg
You can't quite say the same about the 3.2-liter V-6. It is more powerful, but offers hardly more torque than the burliest 2.0-liter, and you can't help but notice the extra weight during turn-in. On twisty highways, the 3.2 feels clumsier than the 2.0 TFSI. The sensible choice among gasoline engines is the entry-level 2.0-liter TFSI with 180 hp, but the horsepower deficit compared with the more powerful version dilutes the fun. An even less expensive A5 Sportback is coming later, a 1.8 TFSI with 160 hp. This engine is great in the A3, but we’re not sure we’ll like it as much in the bigger and heavier A5 Sportback.

Pass Diesel, Collect $200 (In Saved Fuel Costs)
If you’re more mileage-minded, you can go directly to the diesel versions. The four-cylinder TDIs are strong enough to move the A5 Sportback smartly, but their noise, vibration, and harshness never let you forget that you have a small oil-burner under the hood. The two V-6 diesels almost sound melodious by comparison. The 2.7-liter is great for effortless, long-distance cruising, and its CVT transmission makes you forget the (well-founded) prejudices you might have harbored about those boxes. But for real authority, go for the 3.0-liter V-6 TDI, which is a lot quicker and can be mated to the quick-shifting seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox. With 369 lb-ft of torque on tap, it simply leaves the smaller V-6 TDI—and every gasoline-powered model—in its dust.

The chassis nicely blends great handling and coddling comfort, even when equipped with 18-inch wheels. We like the Drive Select chassis-adjustment option that lets you tweak the chassis and steering to be either harder-edged or softer according to your preferences, and we love the Sport differential, which you can get with the top-level gasoline and diesel engines and which helps mitigate any understeer that the heavier engines might produce.

Audi arguably makes the nicest interiors in the industry, and the Sportback cockpit is carried over unchanged from the A5 coupe. As in the A4, rear seating isn’t particularly generous but neither is it uncomfortable. This, after all, is a relatively compact sedan by U.S. standards. The A5 Sportback does offer more trunk space than a conventional sedan, and it's easier to access, but this body style clearly is no alternative to a Volvo V70 (or even an A4 Avant).

Based on the A4, but You Probably Knew That
You likely know that the Audi A5 is based on the A4 (much like the Mercedes E-class coupe is based on the C-class). Indeed, the A5 Sportback is a sedan with the front end (including an identical S-line look) and taillights of the A5 coupe, but the wheelbase of the A4.

What's the point? After all, why have two sedans roughly the same size? The answer is simple: the A5 Sportback is a designer's car. It may sport a hatchback, like the portly BMW 5-series GT, the Porsche Panamera, and the Aston Martin Rapide, but the A5 Sportback also will be compared with some of the more elegant, conventionally trunked sedans, such as the Mercedes-Benz CLS and Volkswagen CC. These are all cars for which marketing departments invented the nonsensical “four-door coupe” moniker.

Technological highlights include optional LED light strips up front and in the rear, including a third brake light with 24 LEDs. The front fenders are made of aluminum to save weight. If one feels the need to more closely track their carbon footprint, there is a driver information system which shows the energy flow in the car, including the juice sucked up by the air-conditioning unit and the rear window defroster. Give us a boost gauge for the turbo instead.

In Germany, pricing starts at €33,650 ($47,912) for an A5 Sportback with front-wheel drive and a manual gearbox, with most of the range slotting just under respective A5 coupe models and above the A4 sedans. It's fast, cool, and distinctive, and we think it is a good deal. If only they’d found a way to lower the rear seats by an inch and a half—we wouldn’t mind seeing this car in America.
