Some new Audi A4 Information

Posted by: Dan | Posted in: Cars

image This article is a nice wrap up of the new features of the new A4.  Looks like they managed to stretch the wheelbase about 6 inches and added a total length of about 4.5 inches.  They made the backseat something you might actually want to sit in!  They added about 2 inches of knee space for the back seats.  Of course it has the new B8 body style and they are saying it is a great mix of the A5 and the A6.  They have also added a selectable suspension on the fully packaged version.  I still have my eye on the A5 but nice to see some of these updates come to the A4.

imageLooks like they posted the colors both inside and outside of the new A5.  Yes please I will take 2! Still a fan of the silver/gray outside with the black interior.  Found this feed thanks to Google’s new feed discovery

888 bHP Audi R8

Posted by: Dan | Posted in: Cars

image Yes there is no such thing as overkill.  This is a matte-black finished R8 that has been tuned using its 4 liter V-8 to produce an awesome 888 ponies with 610-ft/lbs of torque.  This was done by adding a turbo charger and playing with a few other things like headers and suspension and exhaust.  Personally I am a big fan of the two big bumps on the back of the car there for air induction for the turbo.  Also the zero to 60 time has been dropped down to a nice round 3 seconds.  It will cost you a frugal 280,000 Euros (~416,000 USD) Sign me up for two!

Audi A4 All-Road?

Posted by: Dan | Posted in: Cars

imageThere are some rumors that Audi is looking at building an A4 All Road.  The All Road used to only be for the A6 but this picture shows that Audi may have other ideas.  The rumor also says that the All Road will only come in wagon version and not sedan as the spy image shows.  But its hard to tell and we will find out as time goes on I suppose
