So what kind of costume would you put on a new sedan that aspires to redefine the company and show that this small carmaker can play with the big boys? Much like a kid who slaps a giant "S" on his chest to transform into a superhero, this Kizashi put on a super-sedan's duds and thrust its chest out proudly. Looking for all the world like an Audi…

They make the plodding family runabout seem fast and the sleek roadster appear even faster.

    Audi R8 EngineAudi R8 Engine The figures illustrate the outstanding potential of the eight-cylinder unit. At 7,800 rpm the 4.2-liter engine delivers 420 bhp of power output. Peak torque is 317 lb-ft from 4,500 to 6,000 rpm. And no less than 90 per cent of this maximum torque is maintained consistently throughout a wide engine speed range from 3,500 all the way to 7,600 rpm. As a result of these qualities, the eight-cylinder power unit provides maximum thrust in virtually any driving situation. The performance figures are equally impressive: the R8 accelerates from a standstill to 60 mph in…

    The other day as we were walking through the mall parking lot, my dad spotted an Audi Q7. "Wow! That's a nice-looking car!" he says. This is coming from a man who rarely appreciates a European car - although we did have a Volkswagen van back in the 80's. I turned to look at the bright white vehicle that stood out in the sea of SUV's in the parking lot. It sure did look real good in person. I've seen the Q7 in a showroom, but never paid much attention to it. And speaking of the Audi Q7, Audi of America President Johan de Nysschen recently gave a talk about the company’s clean diesel TDI…

We already knew Audi partnered with the Forza Motorsport team when the R8 V10 became the cover-car for the Forza 3 packaging, but it comes to no surprise that they’re taking it a bit further than that. While this is the first car ever (that I can remember) to be based on a video game, it’s exciting to see where things are heading. While there haven’t been any details released from…

The Audi R4 is expected to have a similar one-motor-per-wheel layout as the e-Tron Concept, and since it will be using the e-Tron’s powertrain, will likely produce the same 313 horsepower and incredible 3,319 lb-ft of torque, which will…
