    Each week, our German correspondent slices and dices the latest rumblings, news, and quick-hit driving impressions from the other side of the pond. His byline may say Jens Meiners, but we simply call him . . . the Continental. Mercedes-Benz, VW, and BMW are working to put out a metaphorical—and potentially literal—coolant-related fire. The fight over air conditioning coolant is escalating in Europe. In tests conducted by Mercedes-Benz, the new coolant R1234yf—designed to replace R134a that was deemed dangerous to the environment—not only ignited and created strong fire pockets under…

  • SQs Us, Please! 2014 Audi SQ5 Starts at $52,795

    Jeff Stork
    17 Jun 2013 | 11:18 am
    It’s taken some time for the SQ5 to get here, and now we know how much it will cost: the new 2014 SQ5 high-performance crossover will be priced at $52,795. The new entry is significant for two reasons: it’s Audi’s first-ever  S-variant crossover, and the SQ5 we’ll be getting in North America is actually more powerful than the diesel-powered TDI version sold in Europe. The European SQ5 TDI is certainly no slouch with 313 horsepower and 479 lb-ft of torque, but we are instead being treated to a tuned version of Audi’s gasoline-powered, supercharged 3.0-liter V-6 which develops 354…

    At a recent event in Germany, Audi’s head of R&D Wolfgang Dürheimer said that a car needs to perform in everyday circumstances. While that appears on the surface to be relatively obvious, it was his follow-up remark that set up his agenda with regards to alternative energies. “I don’t see that with electrics.” Dürheimer went on to contest promises that battery prices will drop sharply in the next few years, saying that, “when I was a student 30 years ago, we were told that battery development would be in five years where we are now told it will be in five…

  • Somebody Call for a Cab? 2014 Audi RS5 Cabriolet Starts at $78,795

    13 Jun 2013 | 1:30 pm
    Today Audi released pricing for its complete lineup for 2014, and while we’ve already covered this information for the A6, A7, and Q5 TDI models and the R8 supercar, pricing also was announced for the RS5 cabriolet, the topless version of the mighty RS5 coupe. The cost for the no-roof option is $78,795, which is $8300 more than its fixed-roof counterpart. Introduced at last year’s Paris auto show, the RS5 cabriolet shares all of the high-performance goodness of the coupe—except for the steel roof, of course. Under the hood is the same naturally aspirated 450-hp, 4.2-liter V-8; with the…

    The diesel-powered Audi TDI models are coming! Audi has slowly but surely been adding more and more models that offer TDI diesel power over the past few years, and the 2014 A6, A7, and Q5 are the lastest four-ringers to gain the option. Now, pricing and fuel-economy info for the three models have been released, and as you’d expect, they all offer significantly better fuel efficiency than their gas-powered counterparts. All three Audi TDI models share the VW Group’s diesel 3.0-liter V-6 engine, which puts out 240 horsepower and 428 lb-ft of torque, and all come standard with…

    17 Jun 2013 | 2:28 pm
    Filed under: Concept Cars, Coupe, Performance, Audi, Luxury Remember Audi's perfectly lovely Quattro Concept from the 2010 Paris Motor Show? Of course you do. The latter-day Ur-Quattro is laser-etched in our brains as well - and not just because Audi was kind enough to offer our man Michael Harley a mountain drive of its seven-figure showcar. At the time, Audi hinted that the coupe might have a showroom future, but the gossip pipeline has long since gone dry, leading us to believe that the car's production hopes had soured. That 2010 concept was powered by a 2.5-liter five-cylinder engine…

    Filed under: Car Buying, Performance, Videos, Crossover, Audi, Luxury Despite the fact that the 2014 Audi SQ5 you see here is quite a bit different than the one offered in Europe, we're still plenty glad that the folks from Ingolstadt have decided to offer a hotted-up version of its compact Q5 crossover here in the States. Now, Audi has announced that its US-spec SQ5 will be priced from $51,900 when it hits dealerships later this summer (*not including $895 for destination). That strikes us as a pretty favorable price - while the base Q5 in 2.0-liter TFSI trim starts at $35,900, the 3.0-liter…

    Filed under: Coupe, Performance, Audi, Rumormill, Luxury According to a report from Autocar in the UK, the Audi R8 is set to get something of a swan song for its own going-away party in the form of an updated GT model for the 2014 model year. If Autocar is right, this even higher-performance Audi R8 will debut at the upcoming 24 Hours of Le Mans race in France. The 2014 Audi R8 GT Plus will reportedly get a tuned version of the much-loved 5.2-liter V10 engine that Audi has used to good effect in past R8 models. A six-speed manual or seven-speed dual-clutch automatic would send power to the…

    Filed under: Etc., Audi, BMW, Luxury As Audi hopes to surpass BMW as the top-selling luxury automaker, sometimes it has to look at the small victories, too. For instance, IllicitEncounters.com - a UK dating site for married folks (also known as adultery) - is reporting that a recent poll shows that more people willing to cheat on their spouses drive an Audi. Last year, this same poll showed that BMW was the car-of-choice for adulterers. With Audi on top (pun intended) and BMW bumped to number two, Mercedes-Benz, Volvo and Volkswagen round out the top five car brands owned by unfaithful wives…

    Filed under: Sedan, Videos, Audi, UK, Diesel, Luxury You know our answer. While gasoline certainly holds a special place in our hearts, it's difficult to deny the efficiency and power available from diesel fuel. XCAR recently added to their impressive list of videos by putting two Audi A6 models to the test: one with the company's stalwart supercharged 3.0-liter V6 under the hood and another powered by the company's twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter diesel V6. Our host finds plenty to love in both engines, and while the video ultimately concedes that most performance-minded buyers will still wind…

    If you're experiencing what many people would call a "mid-life crisis", but you don't want to make it too obvious, you buy an Audi S4. Some people go for the corvette, but us Audi enthusiasts would actually prefer the R8. For the more practical person - the S4. Sidenote: Regardless of your age, the R8 is always a great choice in our book! The Audi S4 is the stepping-stone car that lets you know that you are on the path to greatness. You've got the "cool" status with the youngsters and the respect of the elders. A man in his 70's driving a BMW parked next to me remarked as he sized up the car,…

Just thought I'd throw the idea out there in case someone from Audi marketing is reading this :)

    Details and pricing are finally announced on Audi’s first-ever S version of a Q model – the SQ5. Why should we be excited about this? Because it’s a freaking S version of a Q model! We’ll start with what we obviously care about the most: Performance The standard Q5 comes with a weakling 211 hp, 2.0-liter four-banger, or a more potent 274 hp, 3.0-liter powerplant for a 0-60 mph time of 6.0 and 7.0 seconds, respectively. If you decide to go the economical route and get the Q5 Hybrid, your 245 hp 2.0-liter will bag you 0-60 in 6.8 seconds. The SQ5 ups the ante and drops…

Some groups believed the nature of the boy kissing the prom queen was more sexual assault rather than a daring moment. Giving some context to the ad for the Audi S6 sedan, we have no idea if there was some form of relationship or friendship between the couple. Aside from the content of the Super Bowl commercial, the Audi spot was highlighted by its use of crowdsourcing.
