About five months ago, I was out cruising in this Audi wagon when a fellow in a Volkswagen Corrado ahead of me pulled off to the side of the road, motioned for me to roll down my window and then offered to trade right then and there for this car. A 10-valve Audi 200 Quattro had been his first car and it remained, for him, the love that dare not beep its name. 

To be honest, it was pretty dark that night and I didn't catch what variant of Corrado he was busting around in, but I'd like to think he knew a reasonably good car when he saw one.

And, alas, that is what my Audi wagon has been - a reasonably good car. It drives like it is on rails regardless of the weather. It feels like it could hold the entire IKEA as-is room. Or, alternately, five people with skis on the way to the local ski slope.

Speaking of which, this car is steeped in history. After being born in what was then West Germany (despite its clearly East German sensibilities), it traveled the same roads as Hunter S. Thompson in Colorado before its first owner met with some legal difficulties and it was bought by a woman who drove it incredible distances between there and Pennsylvania with a seemingly large dog.

If you're looking at this ad, you probably already know that a purchase like this is madness. But, wait. Take a sit in the incredibly comfortable drivers seat. Imagine your feet in taupe pumps, a pair of nude pantyhose on your legs and a taupe skirt suit to finish your ensemble. It's 1990, it's Vail and you're the trophy, second wife of the town's orthodontist and its your first summer selling ski resort real estate. "Would you like slopeside or base village?"

Yeah, that's where this Audi takes you. Every time. Please buy my wagon and give it the glamorous life it deserves.

(And now for the boring stuff. It's inspected through May 2015 for Pennsylvania buyers. It runs and drives. We've kept after the fluids and even replaced the radio with a stock Audi unit that doesn't change channels with every bump in the road, but sadly does not have the mysterious "ARIZ" button. However it has a QLCC chip so it doesn't chug along like an East Berlin streetcar and a stiffer wastegate spring. It has a replacement PCV hose from 034 Motorsports. It also comes with an insanely studded set of Nokian winter tires on lightweight sport rims and a stack of service records that are as compelling and entertaining of a read as most of the stuff your friends post on Facebook on any given day. Car is sold as-is, of course, and feel free to ask any questions about it before bidding.)

Lamborghini agrees to produce Urus in Italy

Tue, May 26 2015

The Lamborghini Urus is apparently on the way, and it looks like it will be built in Italy. The news comes from Bloomberg, which claims Lambo CEO Stephan Winkelmann and Audi CEO Rupert Stadler will be joined by Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi on Wednesday to announce a series of tax breaks to bring SUV production to Italy. The report cites multiple "people familiar with the matter." The details of the deal include up to 500 new jobs in exchange for $87 million in tax breaks along with "other benefits," according to Bloomberg. Just over a year ago, it was looking like Urus production was headed for Slovakia, where it'd be built alongside its MLB platform-mates, the Audi Q7, Volkswagen Touareg, and Porsche Cayenne. News of Italy's bid surfaced this spring. We'll be sure to keep an eye out for any official news as it becomes available. Related Video:

2014 Audi SQ5 Road Test

Thu, Jul 24 2014

It may be obvious at this point, but here in the United States, European manufacturers routinely give us the short end of the stick. Now, I'm not talking about models or brands that don't come here, like the Mercedes-Benz A-Class or the entire Renault line. No, instead, I'm referring to cars that are sold right here in the Land of the Free in one bodystyle, while Europe enjoys the same vehicle with a wider variety of configurations. A prime example of this is the Audi S4/S5 line. In America, we can have the supercharged twins in two-door coupe, four-door sedan, and cabriolet body styles. Meanwhile, our Euroland cousins get the same trio of bodystyles, as well as the A5/S5 Sportback, a characterful 'four-door coupe,' and a versatile hauler, the S4 Avant. At first glance, Audi of America lacks a vehicle that can compete with the latter's blend of performance, versatility and subdued looks. So, what's an American with around $60,000 and an obsession with quick, conservative haulers to do? Well, he can buy an SQ5. (Though it bears mentioning, our US-spec SQ5 is vastly different than what's available to our European friends.) The SQ5 has a huge number of things going for it that make it a viable alternative to a proper hot wagon, and foremost among them are its looks – this is a sleeper. Audi has thankfully decided not to molest the clean looks of the standard Q5 when penning the sportier model. The SQ5 gains a unique set of wheels: 20-inchers are standard, but our tester was fitted with a set of 21-inch rollers. Visually, neither make a huge departure from the standard Q5 though. Other standard features of Audi's S models are also found on the SQ5, including a set of quad exhausts, silver mirror caps and mildly different front grille and foglight surrounds. If anything, the Q5 TDI diesel I tested late last year looks sportier than today's tester. Audi has decided not to molest the clean looks of the standard Q5 when penning the sportier model. It's a similar story of minor but purposeful changes in the cabin. Audi has ditched the Q5's standard steering wheel and slotted in the excellent, flat-bottomed unit found in other S models, which in this case is flanked by a set of high-quality "alu-optic" paddles. Upgraded leather seats complement the new wheel, while my SQ5 offered the Carbon Atlas interior trim (a $500 option).

2016 Audi R8 E-Tron packs 456 hp and goes on sale this year

Wed, Mar 4 2015

For the longest time, the Audi R8 E-Tron seemed like such a fantasy, we never really though it'd come to fruition. But it's here, in second-generation R8 form. It's really, actually, finally here. It looks like a electrified R8, too, with oversized, EV-spec wheels, and a revised front fascia that lends itself well to the more chiseled design of Audi's mid-engine coupe. Thanks to that nice shape and those air-slicing wheels, Audi has achieved a drag coefficient of 0.28 for the R8 E-Tron. The 92-kWh, T-shaped battery is actually integrated into the center tunnel behind the passenger compartment, so it helps with the car's weight distribution and center of gravity. The two electric motors are mounted at the rear. As for the specs, things look awesome: 456 horsepower, 679 pound-feet of torque, 0-62 in 3.9 seconds, top speed of either 130 or 155 miles per hour, a range of 280 miles and a charging time of less than two hours. And it's going on sale. Like, for real. Audi's press blast clearly states, "Upon customer request, the R8 E-Tron will be available for order in 2015 as an electrically powered sports car in supreme hand-built quality." Consider us stoked. Electrified: Audi R8 e-tron The second generation of the Audi R8 forms the basis for two more models. Audi has made major engineering developments in its high-performance electric sports car, the R8 e-tron. The latest evolution of the vehicle takes up the multimaterial Audi Space Frame from the new series-production model. The supporting structure was enhanced by a CFRP rear-section module comprising the luggage compartment. The walls of the CFRP luggage compartment well are corrugated. This way, in the event of a rear-end collision, more energy can be absorbed despite the reduced material weight. Thanks to targeted modifications to the outer shell and on the wheels, the Audi R8 e-tron achieves an aerodynamic drag coefficient (cd) value of 0.28. In terms of performance and range, the car enters entirely new dimensions. The large T-shaped battery is structurally integrated into the center tunnel and behind the occupant cell – optimally positioned in the car. It supports the dynamics of the R8 e-tron with its low center of gravity. Audi produces the high-voltage battery itself, for the first time based on a newly developed lithium-ion technology which was specially conceived for a purely electric vehicle drive.
