The Bottom Line
The all-new 2010 Audi A5 Cabriolet replaces last year’s A4 as Audi’s four-seat convertible in residence. Even so, the convertible A5 shares many of its mechanical bits with the A4 sedan and wagon, including its 211 horsepower 2-liter turbocharged engine. Shared styling with the A5 Coupe makes the Cabrio a real looker whether the soft top is up or down—but is it as good to live with as it is to look at? Read on.
L.A. Auto Show: R8 V-10 Spyder North American debutBy Admin
Just a friendly reminder not to forget this 525-horsepower, $170,000 (roughly) roadster over here. It’s the red one, in case you were wondering. While you’re undoubtedly a concerned eco-citizen, focused only on driving cars that make the planet a better place to live, do take caution not to limit your appetite for Audi’s presence at the L.A. Auto Show to its “green machines,” like the Green Car of the Year, the 2010 Audi A3 TDI, or its other diesel offering, the Q7 TDI.
Audi R10: R8 Successor with 600hp twin-turbo engineBy Admin
Auto Express News has it on good authority that Audi are all ready making plans for its R8 successor, the Audi R10. The new supercar will come with a V10 600hp twin-turbo engine, unlike the non-turbo version of the current R8, although it has recently seen an engine upgrade.
No Quattro System for Audi A1 Mini CarBy Admin
When you think of Audi, the first thing that pops into your mind is Quattro. The two of them go together like burger and chips, it is just meant to be. However, we have just learned from Autoblog that the new Audi A1 mini car will not come with the famous Quattro AWD system.
2010 Audi S4By Admin
The 2010 model year marks a new generation for the Audi S4, a souped-up version of the A4 sedan, itself redesigned for 2009. The supercharged V-6 gives up nothing to the previous generation’s V-8 — except dismal mileage and an associated gas-guzzler tax, thankfully. Improved all-wheel drive, a more comfortable ride and a lower price make this a better package overall and a nice upgrade from the regular A4. (See them compared here.)
Audi e-tron Concept EV Revealed At FrankfurtBy Admin
AUDI HAS OFFICIALLY unveiled its all-electric e-tron concept at the Frankfurt Motor Show, a car that gives an insight into the marque’s future plans for zero-emission motoring.
2010 Audi A5 Sportback - First Drive ReviewBy Admin
2010 Audi A5 Sportback - First Drive ReviewWith frameless windows and a fast, sloping roofline, the A5 Sportback is a handsome car, but a new concept it is not—sleek hatchback variants derived from their sedan brethren were common in the 1970s. Audi’s own original Avant models, for instance, arrived as fastback hatches in 1977 and remained as such through the third-generation Audi 100/5000 sedans, until they were finally replaced with a conventional boxy wagon style in 1990.
Audi S5 CabrioletBy Admin

If you want the S5 with the best engine, you need the cabriolet
It’s an Audi S5 with no roof. So it will be a bit heavier, its structure will be less rigid, your head can be blasted with ambient air and it will cost more. There. I’ve written the test.
Audi A3 – Little Wagon, Ho!By Jim Bray
A3: it’s small, it’s a wagon and, as usually happens when I live with an Audi for a spell, it tore at my heartstrings to give it back.
Audi A6 V8 – Another Seductive SedanBy Jim Bray
It’s another one hit out of the park for Audi and its A6.
Audi A4 – Sweet SedanBy Jim Bray
Once again, Audi has made me lust after one of their vehicles.
Earlier this year, I spent a week in an Audi A6 Avant wagon, and was ready to kidnap it and spirit it far, far away where the Audi folks would never find us.
Audi Q7—Large, Luxurious, LovelyBy Jim Bray
German automaker Audi is famous for making all wheel drive vehicles you can take off-road. They’ve been rally champions and their Allroad models, though not true SUV’s, split the difference between station wagon and SUV very well.
The Allroad has gone to automotive heaven, at least for the present, and now Audi’s SUV standard is carried by the Q7, a fully fledged luxury SUV. It’s a fine vehicle, as I discovered during a week of living with it.
