Audi Engine Strategy Through 2011 Leaked

Someone in the know over at Audiblog.nl has spilled forth a detailed list of all Audi brand engines for all models through the 2011 calender year — and the release dates for new models. In addition to the big engine news, the leakers claim that we'll be seeing the rumored Audi A7 model in June of 2010, as well as an S7 version following that fall, and a return to form for the next generation Audi S4. Look below for a detail look at what's coming up for Audi in the next three years. More »

Holy Crap, Someone Walked Away From This Audi A4

When a driver walks away from a car looking like it's been turned inside out, you have to take comfort in driving the same car. I look at my own A4 with renewed respect after seeing this one, which was run over by a semi and managed to deliver it's driver from the valley of the shadow of death with some bruises and a cracked collar bone. Someone surviving the accident described below is nearly unbelievable, but then again, someone survived that bonkers RS6 accident, so stranger things have happened.

2010 Audi S4 To Reveal New Supercharged V6

It looks like Audi's got a V6 planned for the next generation of the S4. Yes, if Car und Driver's sources are correct, the 2010 Audi S4 will get an all-new forced-induction 3.0-liter V6 — potentially wearing the designation of 3.0T — under the hood. The big buff book believes this new supercharged V6 will generate somewhere close to the 340 horses found in the soon-to-be-late S4's 4.2-liter V8. If the strategy works, the manny-tranny S4's fuel economy would see a boost of 20%. What's that you say? You don't want a V6? More »

2009 Audi A4 Avant Breaks Cover Before Geneva, Stores Broken Cover In Sexy Wagon

As if the 2009 Audi A4 isn't sexy enough, the lines have been stretched to wagon proportions for the 2009 Audi A4 Avant. It's a good option for someone who wants the style of an A4 but needs the utility of a wagon (and yes, they're bold enough to call it a "wagon" in the press release). Though storage isn't of minivan proportions, there's a total of 51 cubic feet of storage and 60/40 split-fold seats with a load-through hatch for storing skis and snowboards. Similar to the A4, the European version gets two gas and two diesel engines. The most powerful available gasoline engine is the 3.2 FSI V6, which provides 265 horsepower and 243 lb.-ft. of torque good for a 0-62 mph in 6.4 seconds and a limited top speed of 155 mph. The 3.0 TDI engine boasts torque of 369 lb.-ft., which helps the wagon scoot to 62 mph in 6.3 seconds. Photos and a press release below the jump.

Audi Thinks Hot Women In Helicopters Will Chase You In The New A4


Yes that's the new Audi A4 that even when jamming down a windy mountain road with a hot chick in a helicopter still looks as astonishingly un-different to the old Audi A4 as it did when it was just flashing its headlights at us. But whatever — you Audi fan-boys love the same new look — so you'll be cargasming all the way until the end of this ad anyway. Enjoy the pretty new LED headlights. [via World Car Fans]

Frankfurt Auto Show: Audi RS6 Avant in White

While we knew the Audi Audi RS6 Avant was coming, we had no idea Bryan Adams was going to belt out an acoustic rendition of Run to You after the cover was pulled on the V10 twin-turbo wagon. As the rest of the presentation was in German the details are still hazy. We do know the world needs more hopped up sportwagons now more than ever. An A4 and A8 were also kicking around coverless. Now with bonus gallery!

Audi A4 S-Line

Audi hasn't dropped any images or details on the new S4 yet, but we if we squint real hard at pictures of the company's latest A4 — revealed this week — done up in Audi's S-Line package (and let our eyes unfocus slightly), we might get some idea of what to expect. Either that, or we'll be snowblind inside of 30 seconds. [Thanks to Jeff for the tip.]

Watch The Headlights Of The New Audi A4 Turn On And Off


After staring at press shots for hours on end there's nothing that gets us more excited for a new car than a multi-minute clip of B-roll. Especially when the B-roll is nothing more than the lights turning on and off. Well, at least these headlights have some LED action going on.

New Audi A4 Revealed -- And This Time It's Official!

After that teaser shot last night and the embargo breakage earlier today, we were wondering if there'd be anything left to show you on the Audi A4 once the embargo officially broke at 6:00 PM EST tonight. And it would seem our ponderings were accurate — although now we've got the high-res shots and the press release. So there's that. Photos are below and the full release is after the jump. Enjoy and feel free to talk amongst yourselves.

Audi A4 Embargo Leakage Continues Ahead Of Frankfurt Auto Show Reveal

The boys at Motor Authority apparently decided the leak of the first shot that went live yesterday of the newly redesigned Audi A4 constituted enough of an embargo break for them to just go live with a whole mess o' photos and a load of details. These shenanigans with the Audi A4 provide yet another example of the type of embargo policy issues we spoke of yesterday. Regardless, we're more than happy to show you what Motor Authority's showing. [via Motor Authority]

UPDATE: Apparently MotorAuthority's located in Australia and they ran these shots at the correct time — in the land of dingos and koala bears. Who knew?

Audi A4 Revealed Ahead Of Frankfurt Auto Show

Looks like the Dutch forum hounds couldn't keep the lid on the new Audi A4. Although we weren't expecting to see anything ahead of the Frankfurt Auto Show reveal next month, a user over at the AutoWeek.nl site quickly dropped the pic and some deets into a post. Then, just as quickly, the post vanished. Coincidence? We think not. The details we gleaned before the post disappeared are below the jump. More »

Report: Next Audi RS4 Coming in 2008

Todd Lassa's shrill condemnations of the blogosphere notwithstanding, Motor Trend clarifies the Audi RS4 issue with some of that snappy jernelism we expect from those who still use the telephone. Those saddened by talk the RS version of the Audi A4 was going the way of Brock Yates's Park Avenue office will be heartened to hear it's just taking a yearlong hiatus. With the new A4 appearing this fall atop Audi's oft ballyhooed modular architecture, the current RS4 will be shelved. A new RS4, based on the updated A4 and sporting what could total 450 horsepower, will appear at the end of 2008. Meanwhile, Audi's spending down the remaining parts on the limited-edition RS4 convertible, due by year's end. Only 300 of the droptops will be built, each costing around 90 grand each. And we didn't even have to pick up the phone. Ain't meta media grand? [Motor Trend via The German Car Blog]

Spec'ing the 2009 Audi A4

It's more than three months before the Frankfurt motor show opens, just a few streets off Hamburger Alley (sorry, Allee), and the spec artists are in effect. Audi recently confirmed Frankfurt is the place where all will be revealed of the 2009 A4. That car will share Audi's new jack-of-all-trades Modular Longitudinal Platform (MLP) with the A5 coupé, next-gen A6 and A8 models, and upcoming newbies like the Q5 SUV and low-roof A7. Car P-shopper Matt Daniels took the latest info on the coming A4 and rendered a few spec shots. We're not sure we'd agree on the level of multisurface detail (a bit too last-gen Bangle), but they're not too shabby as a baseline before we get them in late '08. – Mike Spinelli More »

Spy Photos: 2009 Audi A4

A mask to disguise him, a great silver stallion, and thus began his fame.
HI-HO SILVER, HI-HO SILVER AWAY
HI-HO SILVER, HI-HO SILVER AWAY
THE LONE RANGER IS HIS NAME!
-The Lone Ranger
The line on the inside over at Edmunds is claiming that this here compact exec car that's looking more like a caped crusader of some sort, is the next Audi A4. This new whip's expected to debut as a 2009 model year vehicle with engines "expected to range from a 2.0-liter four-cylinder to a 4.2-liter V8 much like the current model." Although we're thinking they mean a 3.2-liter V6 for the A4 rather than a 4.2-liter V8 — which we would expect to see in the S4, we'll buy what they're saying about expecting to see this masked man make an official debut at the Frankfurt show in September. We'll let you know if we see it at the Internationale Automobil-Ausstellung — or any trusty sidekick we hope may be sitting nearby. – Ray Wert More »

Psycho Audi Tuner Coming to Essen Show

German VWMoCo tuner, Alfons Hohenester, is bringing what he says is the world's fastest Audi A4, the Hohenester HS650 Nardo, to the Essen show next month. Just last month, the twin-turbo sedan hit 216 mph on the Nardo track, with a score of lab-coated calculations monkeys in attendance to testify on its behalf. The culprit is a 650 hp (531 lb-ft) three-liter V6, which propels the A from zero to 62 mph in 3.4 seconds. While it won't be showing off its speed at Essen, the poor dear will have to endure hours of German hip-hop via of the show's stereo wattage demos.

Jalopnik Reviews: 2006 Audi A4 3.2 Quattro, Part 3

Why you should buy this car: You always wanted a German performance sedan but care too much about what others think about you to get a BMW; you really like Audi but the wife won't let you get "that station wagon," also known as the A3. More »

Jalopnik Reviews: Audi A4 3.2 Quattro, Part 2

Exterior Design: ***
My man MCA's got a beard like a billy goat, which is exactly what the oversized grill on the A4 resembles. But, unlike on most people, the A4 rocks the goatee well. And it's got a little bit of flava in the headlight and taillamp treatments to give a little bit of soul to the normal Bauhaus sterility of Audi design. But only three stars, you say? Yes. It's a good-looking car, but hardly worthy of study-hall sketches or bedroom wall posters. More »

Jalopnik Reviews: 2006 Audi A4 3.2 Quattro, Part 1

On the surface, the A4 might look like just another "premium midsize" sedan in a sea of not-BMWs. As car reviews go, this one's a challenge because, while the A4 is not the best in its class, it's none so horrible as to be dismissed from consideration. But before we condemn the A4 with faint praise, we'll come out and say it. This is a damn fine automobile. Moreover, in a world where an A3 3.2 with Quattro and DSG costs $37 grand, a top-of-the-line A4 3.2 Quattro for $40,000 somehow seems like a value. More »
