2011 Audi R8 Spyder

R8 is a great success for Audi. The 2011 Audi Spyder has allowed Audi to help raise the company profile. Furthermore, allowed it to enter the rarefied air of supercar segment. The newest version of V10 guise, coupe's Porsche-like high speed of 194 mph, where rapierlike hhandling goes without unmentioned, offers sporting credentials to Audi that it had not previously enjoyed. The bottom line is, it will not be 10 pistons, 525 high horsepower or for the matter even 4 seconds to take acceleration of 60 mph that would sell new convertible Audi supercar version.


Simply numbers, performance data or technical specification may seem impressive, but are not successful in capturing what exactly is needed for Spyder for reaching at the top. What's missing is the style. Pak your R8 at any sports car parking area and Audi is certain to attract just like the Ferrari 458 Italia or Lamborghini Gallardo.
The inside of Spyder is similar to coupe, which means long legged persons are going to have hard time accommodating. However, the seats are quite comfortable and adjustable, offering sufficient side bolstering. Soft-top, fortified in magnesium, remains stable and quiet even when the vehicle is speedy. At 80 mph, it is easy conversation is possible.
Most of Audi R8 Spyder interior features are quite similar to that of coupe. It means, Spyder too features 465 watts of Bang & Olufsen goodness with mated to about 12 speakers. It is not up to sonorific splendor that B&O system of A8 is. However, it proves sufficient enough for the R8's small cabin. The LCD screen of the navigation system is quite small, which further makes it difficult for viewing junctions and turnings. It features only 3.5 cubic feet cargo at the up front, which is as big as to accommodate two laptop bags only. Trip for two could be best reserved for a tropical climate.
Again like Audis, Spyder too surpasses the competition while speaking of finish and comfort inside the cabin. The seat is leather covered and comes in good quality too. Instrument gauge design seems to be pleasing and switchgear can be operated at ease. Audi Spyder has tightest grip between stowable roof and windshield frame, if compared to any recent convertible. For the Spyder's looks, you might consider going back to launch of Lamborghini Countach for getting a more of dramatic and positive response to the car. Spyder captures the adoration, the reason for which coupe version has remained famous. The sloping roof has been replaced in this new version with tonneau cover and soft-top. However, the side blades dominating coupe's side view are not present in this model and in its replacement is the great swallowing air in takers. However conventional they may look, they definitely are attractive too. Tonneau cover is an addition that gives aggressive appearance and features several vents on twin humps.
Anyone who is looking at R8 coupe ownership, but is enamored of the al fresco driving, is certainly going to be a fan. Nevertheless, anyone should be considering a Lamborghini, Porsche or Ferrari. Audi offers better performance and is excessively less expensive as compared to any of the above-mentioned Italian alternatives.

2011 Audi A8 L arrives with 500-hp W12, seating for a king-maker

Audi is pulling out its biggest gun yet for the Beijing Motor Show, and while the big news for the A8 L might be the 6.3-liter W12 and the sedan's longer wheelbase, it's the rear seat accommodations that have us frothing at the mouth.

Seriously, just look at it.

With an overall length of nearly 17 and a half feet, the A8 L is almost a half-foot longer than its standard sibling, with a wheelbase of 10.24 feet. Those extra inches are put to good effect, with an interior that's enough to make a Maybach look downright spartan.




Open the lengthened rear doors and occupants are greeted by acres of leather, a full-length center console and two power-adjustable, heated and ventilated seats that not only move fore and aft, but include adjustments for cushion depth, lumbar support and seat back angle. Ten remote-controlled air-bladders massage your cares away, and if the front passenger seat – with its power-adjustable folding ottoman – cramps your style, you can move it forward with the flick of a switch.

The standard four-zone automatic climate control is manipulated by no less than 25 adjustable motors, and the massive center tunnel contains everything from a folding table to a refrigerator. It's all first-class, from the ambient lighting to the Valonea leather, and when the time comes to put the laptop away, crank up the 1,400-watt, 19-speaker Bang & Olufsen Advanced Sound System and enjoy a movie on one of the two 10.2-inch LCD displays.

If you're ready to give your chauffeur a rest, take solace in the fact that the W12 puts out 500 horsepower and 461 pound-feet of torque through Audi's new eight-speed automatic transmission and Quattro all-wheel drive. The result is a remarkably quick 4.9-second run to 60 and a electrically-limited top speed of 155 mph.

The W12 will be the standard engine at launch, with a few diesel and petrol-powered engines available further down the line. We'd expect pricing for the A8 L to be revealed shortly after its official debut later this month.

Audi A3 Sedan Concept with 408HP Officially Previews Next Generation Model

It's been rumored for a while now that Audi was exploring the possibility of adding a four-door sedan body style to its A3 range, but today, the German firm officially confirmed the news with the release of the first official sketches of the A3 Concept ahead of its world premiere at the 81st International Geneva Motor Show in early March.

Its main purpose is to preview both the saloon variant and the styling direction of the next A3, which is scheduled for a rollout in 2012 and will also include the successors to today's three-door hatchback, five-door Sportback and the two-door convertible models.

"The four-seater notchback sedan offers a glimpse of the future expansion of the A3 family," Audi said in a statement.

The A3 concept measures 4.44 meters (14.57 feet) long, 1.84 meters (6.04 feet) wide and just 1.39 meters (4.56 feet) high, meaning it's slightly smaller than the new Volkswagen Jetta (4.64 m long).

The sedan study embodies Audi's latest design language as seen on the recent A8, A6 and A7 Sportback models featuring a single-frame grille with tapered upper corners, angular headlights with LED technology and taut body lines.

The show car is fitted with an upgraded version of the 2.5-liter five-cylinder turbocharged engine found under the bonnet of the current RS3 and TT RS models, producing a peak output of 408-horses. The five-pot distributes power to all four wheels through a seven-speed S tronic transmission and permanent all-wheel drive.

We'll have more details on the A3 Concept from the Geneva Motor Show in March.
