New Audi RS7 Sportback Revealed

Audi introduced its M6 Gran Coupe fighter at the Detroit Auto Show. The RS7 is powered by a twin-turbo 4.0-Liter TFSI V8 that produces 560hp and 700 Nm of torque! That allows it to hit 100 Km/h (62 mph) in just 3.9 seconds with a top speed of 305 km/h once the limiter is removed. Power is sent to all wheels through an 8-speed tiptronic transmission with three driving modes: D (drive), S (sport) and M (manual).


This new car is marked by the introduction of the Cylinder On Demand (COD) system that allows the car to deactivate half of the cylinders ( no. 2,3,5 and 8) by closing their valves in order to have a much better fuel efficiency and lower CO2 emissions. Another innovation is the adaptive suspension which adjusts the height of the car to the driving style, the selected mode and the condition of the road's surface.


When it comes to styling, the RS7 has all what it takes to be a candy for the eyes. The aggressive body kit is available is two versions: matte aluminum and carbon. More pictures of the beast in the gallery below and more pictures and videos after the jump.

Audi RS6 Avant Officially Unveiled

There was a time when the Audi RS6 avant was powered by a Lamborghini V10. It's no longer the case, and we have to deal with it. Thanks to its much more efficient twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 engine sending power to all four wheels and producing 560 Hp (20 Hp less than the V10 powered RS6), the new RS6 Avant will sprint from 0 to 100 Km/h (62 mph) in 3.9 Seconds before hitting the electronically limited top speed of 250 Km/h (155 mph). With the optional Dynamic package, the top speed can be raised to 280 km/h (174 mph) and to 305 km/h (190 mph) with the Dynamic plus package.

I'll pick the RS6 over of any high performance SUV, thanks. More high res pictures of the new Quattro beast.

Paris 2010: The Audi Quattro 30th Anniversary Concept

Reviving the name of a legend like the Audi Quattro rally car isn't an easy task, even for an automaker like Audi. Nevertheless, Audi impressed the fools and won the hearts of the original Quattro's enthusiasts by unveiling its modern interpretation of a car that once made the glory of the marque. And the question that every one is asking is: will they they actually make it? And now that there's even a video of the car running, there is even more speculations and even more questions.

Under the bonnet lies an inline five cylinder turbocharged engine good for 408 Hp mounted to a 6 speed manual gearbox delivering that power the four wheels with a slightly biased setup of 40:60 in favour of the rear axle.



The styling of the concept car features several Audi key design element slike the LED treatment and the famous huge front grille. However it has its own personaly with more angular elements like the head and rear lights as well as the front grille.

The new Audi Quattro Concept car comes with the same philosophy as the original which means a small turbocharged engine and lightweight. This leaves us wondering if it would have similar motorsport plans. And i'm pretty sure a lot of Pikes Peak Hillclimb fanatics like my self are already having crazy thoughts about a new Quattro making it to the 14,000 ft top of the mountain.. Let's wait and see!
