Back in the 1980s, the videogame Dragon's Lair used animated cutscenes instead of programmed sequences to portray the action. It was novel, but cumbersome to play. Audi's used the same principle to create the world's first interactive driving game on YouTube. More »

There's no denying the poor shape of America's roads. You don't have to drive far to find torn up tires on the side of the interstate or crater-sized potholes. Audi's new TV ad, "The Road," makes its point by reminding us of the cracked, distracted roadways we live with day in, day out. More »

It sure looks like Audi may have ripped off Eminem's "Imported from Detroit" Chrysler ad in an Audi video that debuted May 18th at a press event in Berlin. More »

Audi rolled out two new A6 sedans here today. The standard model in a devilish red and the A6 Hybrid, which can travel 62mph on electric power alone by way of a 45hp e-motor, in a more angelic silver. More »

Audi teased its next generation 2012 Audi A6 this morning, while somewhere in The Netherlands someone was busy photoshopping their watermark on a complete set of press photos. Here's the lighter, trimmer, and more Robert Smith-esque new A6. More »

Audi has thrown its weight behind "Travolution," a German traffic light communication management system trying to smooth traffic flow and reduce congestion. The system works by way of 46 smart traffic lights installed in Audi's home town of Ingolstadt which communicate with specially equipped Audi A5s and A6s. The cars interpret the information from the lights and display an ideal speed to the driver which leads to smooth sailing through green lights as opposed to hitting the reds. The lights also interpret traffic density and adjust timing to reduce times at the line - and therefore minimization of fuel-sapping "stop-start" traffic. Sounds like a plan to us More »

The new 580 HP 2009 Audi RS6 Sedan is a very exciting proposition, but for the rest of us there's this, the 2009 Audi A6 Sedan and Avant. Perhaps the most relevant additions are the new TDIe models which squeeze maximum efficiency from the 2.0-liter turbo-diesel engine via modified transmission ratios, a power steering pump which operates only on demand, and an alternator capable of regenerating energy during coasting. Combined with subtle aero tweaks and a slightly lower ride height which make for a drag coefficient of 0.28, the A6 2.0 TDIe returns about 44 MPG. It's no slouch either Actually, it is pretty dang slow. With a 6-speed manual it accelerates limps from 0-62 in 10.3 seconds and tops out at 129 MPH. More details and full release after the jump.

We imagined the "T" in any Audi engine nomenclature would always and forever mean "turbo." Apparently, such is not the case, as Audi has officially revealed the 3.0L TFSI, which is in fact supercharged. The confusingly named new motor, which we first caught wind of in a report about a supercharged mill for the next Audi S4, will most likely be seen first in the 2009 Audi A6, making 290 HP and 310 lb.ft. of torque. Using a Roots-style supercharger, a front-mounted intercooler and direct injection, the new 3.0 will be Audi's high-tech showpiece, so expect to hear a lot more about it in the future.

We were enamored with the 2007 Audi A6 and have been anxious to see how Audi would tweak the svelte sedan for its 2009 facelift. Though not a major mechanical overhaul, this latest A6 gets a revised front fascia that includes lower, flared intakes inspired by the sporty Audi A5. Don't let the lack of obvious, checkerboard camo confuse you. Audi is still hiding some of the good stuff. Thankfully, the folks at KGP were smart enough to grab a closer shot of the rear taillights, which are covered in tape around the trunk area. This makes us think there's a continuation of that light design, perhaps closer in style to the Audi R8. Full spy report below the jump.

Within the first five minutes of my week-long test-drive of the 3.2-liter 2007 Audi A6, I was pretty sure a speeding ticket was on the way. Turns out I was almost right. Tearing down a road at a rate somewhat above the posted limit, I came around a bend to see a sheriff approaching me in the other lane. I knew I was screwed. But rather than pulling me over, he just motioned out his window for me to slow down. If you're reading this Mr. Understanding Sheriff Guy, remind me to buy you a beer. More »

Contrary to what the badge may say on the back of this car that used to be an Audi, this is actually just the aftermath of what someone decided to do with their A6. While admittedly the craftsmanship is far from the worst custom bodywork we've ever seen, the styling is, well.. very distinctive to say the least. We're gonna go out on a limb and predict that this car is not at all hinting at some new design direction for Audi. It's been a long time since we've heard anything about an A9. The old rumors ranged from a mid-engine supercar based on the Le Mans concept (which turned out to be called the R8) to a Maybach-fighting über-sedan. Regardless, we're sure that this thing ain't no A9. More »

Forbes Autos is up to the list-making again, giving us the top ten list of luxe cars with the primary driver being a woman. While not as sexy as the men's list, the vehicles are more practical and comfortable, and packed with a lot more Volvos. Interesting to note that our favorite Saturn designer, Miss Vicki Vlachakis is quoted in the story about quality, "I think women have such a good eye for detail, the attention to detail is really important on the interior; on all of the key driving interfaces such as the gauges, shifter area, steering wheel and seats." Yeah, what she said. We accidentally put Vicki's gallery below the fold, along with the Forbes list, cause after all, who the heck wants to sit through Forbes' boring traffic baiting when you can sit through ours? More »
