Audi Quattro Concept Updated With Laser Lights For CES2014


Audi released new pictures of its Quattro Concept car which might not look different at first glance. The updated model came in fact to showcase Audi's new laser lights system at the 2014 CES show. The Ingolstadt car maker is not the first to announce laser lights for its future models. And the reason for that is that laser lights are more compact and also more effective than LEDs. There's no word on the power train since but we do get the chance to see some interior shots.

But the real question is, are there any chances that the Quattro concept gets produced? More pictures of the beautiful Audi in the gallery below.


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.



The new Audi RS5 Unveiled


Talking about the Audi A5, here's the new badass version unveiled today at the Frankfurt Motor Show, the RS5 which also based on the facelifted A5 coupe. The new RS5 is powered by a 4.2-liter V8 producing 450 Hp which might be a little bit above the expectations. But it remains a very attractive car and there's no doubt about its performance. Top speed is electronically limited to 250 Km/h (155 mph).



Audi Makes us Dream with its 500 hp  A1 Clubsport Show Car



Okay here's what it is: The Audi A1 Clubsport Quattro is a small hatchback with the same power to weight ratio of a Ferrari 599GTB, a better power to weight ratio than an AMG SLS or even a standard Lamborghini Murciélago. How is that possible!?

The answer: the beast uses the 2.5-liter in-line five from the TT RS that has been tuned to produce 503 hp for a car that weights just 1,390 Kg (3,064 lb). Power is delivered to all four wheels through a six-speed manual transmission. That leads us to some serious performance numbers: 0 to 100 Km/h (62 mph) comes right after 3.7 seconds and 200 Km/h (124 mph) in 10.9 seconds. Top speed is electronically limited to 250 Km/h which is okay since all the fun lies under that bar where the car has rocket like acceleration.

Aesthetically, the car features an aggressive body kit, a carbon fiber roof, side exhaust and 19-inch wheels. At this stage, the A1 Sportback Quattro is just a show car. But a limited production run would be nice especially if those performance figures are concretized. Check out more high res pictures of the beast in the gallery below.
