Video: Audi R8 Driven in Parking Structure

I rarely find myself attracted to convertible’s but the Audi R8 is amazing. Very nice car, would prefer it with the top down vs. the coupe. The dubbing in the video was a bit cheesy.

Video: Driving Footage of Audi RS5 on the Track

Jay — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 04:32:57 +0000

Here is an official video from Audi RS5. Awesome video showing off the sound and speed of the all new Audi RS5. The RS5 features a naturally aspirated 4.2-litre V8 producing 450-horsepower and 332lb ft or 430Nm of torque under the hood, with power transferred to all four wheels through a standard seven-speed dual-clutch S tronic transmission and a center differential in the quattro drivetrain.

That’s enough to propel the 3,803lbs four-seater coupe to 62mph in 4.6 seconds, before reaching an electronically limited top speed of 155mph. The Audi RS5 will be prices around $104,000.

2011 Porsche Cayenne

Jay — Thu, 25 Feb 2010 23:49:16 +0000

Engine options for the new Cayenne include the VW Group-sourced 3.6-liter V6 petrol with 300HP (also found in the Panamera) and 3.0-liter V6 turbo diesel with 240HP, as well as a naturally aspirated 4.8-liter V8 with 400HP (Cayenne S) and a turbocharged version of the same V8 with 500HP (Cayenne Turbo).

The big news for the latest Cayenne, however, is the introduction of a Hybrid model motivated by the same diesel-electric hybrid drivetrain found on the Touareg. It couples a 3.3-liter supercharged V6 TSI producing 333HP and 265 lb-ft of torque to a 47HP electric motor for a total output of 380HP and 580Nm or 428 lb-ft.

The Cayenne Hybrid can cover short distances at speed of up to 60km/h or 40mph in pure electric mode. No performance or economy figures were released but the Germans claim that with CO2 emissions of 193g/km, the Cayenne Hybrid is the firm’s cleanest Porsche throughout the company’s entire portfolio.

Officially Official: Audi RS5 with 450HP V8, Is It Worth It?

Jay — Mon, 22 Feb 2010 23:20:20 +0000

The 4.2-liter V8 remains naturally aspirated, but its breathing has been improved to bring the maximum output up to 450 horsepower and 317 pound-feet of torque. The power peak comes up at 8,250 rpm, just shy of the 8,300 rpm redline, and maximum torque is delivered throughout the range between 4,000 and 6,000 rpm. The RS5 comes out the factory with the ability to accelerate to 62 miles per hour in 4.6 seconds on the way to a governed top speed of 155 mph. Owners that wish to exceed that speed can have the governor unlocked, enabling a terminal velocity of 174 mph. The RS5 will get its public debut in Geneva next week and goes on sale in Europe this spring for a base price of €77,000 (about $104,000). For about $100,000 and almost the doubled the price of a BMW M3 with similar performance, is it worth it? This car is pretty close to the price of an Audi R8.

Video: Another Audi AD attacking competitors

Jay — Thu, 18 Feb 2010 06:35:00 +0000

This Audi commercial will run during the 2010 Winter Olympics and it takes a direct stab at BMW. Audi has been very aggressive with it’s marketing campaign. The previous commercial attacks Ferrari. Very well done commercial, now we must wait for BMW’s response.
