EUROPEAN CAR FEB 2009 COVER CAR As I speed through the canyons my trusty sidekick, a highly advanced artificial intelligence computer built into the car, warns me that I'm pushing too hard, the speeds are too high. If this was a normal car, like something with a front-mounted V8, he might be right. I am, however, in a mid-engine, all-wheel-drive supercar modified by OEMplus. It may sound ridiculous, but all this goes through my head in the first 30 seconds of setting eyes on this R8. The car is all black, as black as Spinal Tap's vinyl album cover. In fact, there are none more black than this. The modifications are subtle and cunningly chosen to maximize effect. Most will mistake this car for being completely stock. Its special nature will go largely unnoticed. That's the point of a superhero. 2008 Audi R8 Rear Start with the wheels. Built by Dymag, they may be one of the best performance modifications a car owner can currently purchase. They aren't cheap, but weighing in at 16 pounds front and a mere 19 pounds rear, they remove not only unsprung weight but rotational mass as well. The rolling works of art are of two-piece construction. The outer barrel is built from carbon fiber. This isn't a chopped fiber reinforced plastic either. The barrels are pressure molded using continuous woven fibers for a true aerospace-quality piece. The wheel inners are cast magnesium. Long the first choice of racers, Dymag has taken this technology to the streets to make what is possibly the highest strength-to-weight ratio wheel in existence. Without putting this particular car on a dyno we can guess that the wheels alone are worth 10-15 hp at the wheels. Adding even more power to the wheels is a custom exhaust system that can best be described as earthshaking. The Super Charged 4.2-liter V8 breathes unhindered by mufflers or any sort of sound absorption. Straight pipes from the cats to the tips. The exhaust gives the car a crackly wail, sounding something like chucking glass blocks into a tree shredder. It's loud; the sound echoing off the canyon walls makes me nervous as it seems it may bring down boulders like a 5.0 quake. On downshifts, the throttle blips sound like a big jet engine right at the point it hits the afterburners. On deceleration it burbles like an angry European soccer riot working its way into the town square. The sound is intoxicating from behind the wheel during hard driving. On city streets it frightens pedestrians and angers authorities. On the freeway, the exhaust is ever present and entertaining, for five minutes at the most. At 120 mph, the R8 actually quiets a bit and at 140 mph is almost civil. Apparently this is exactly the system the owner wanted for the car. If it were us, we would opt for something with a butterfly valve. A car this stealthy deserves to sneak around sometimes.

Audi designs science fiction car for Ender's Game movie [w/video]

Wed, 07 Aug 2013

Audi is no stranger to product placement in movies, but the upcoming sci-fi adventure movie, Ender's Game, will be the first time the German automaker has ever unveiled a "purely virtual" vehicle design in a movie. As the movie's star car, the futuristic Audi fleet shuttle quattro was created by Audi Design as a "vision for the future world."
This new movie car comes almost 10 years after one of our favorite Audi movie cars ever, the Audi RSQ that was prominently used in the 2004 sci-fi action film, I, Robot. Looking back, the RSQ obviously used cues from the Audi R8, but it's unclear if the fleet shuttle quattro has any design implications for future Audi production models.
The movie, based on the best-selling novel of the same name, stars Harrison Ford and Asa Butterfield, and it premiers in the US on November 1. Audi has provided images of the fleet shuttle quattro, and Summit Entertainment has released its latest trailer for the movie, which is posted below along with an Audi press release.

597-hp Audi RS7 Performance coming to US

Thu, Oct 22 2015

The Audi RS6 Avant and RS7 Sportback certainly aren't hurting for power. Their 4.0-liter, twin-turbo V8s offer mountains of muscle as tall as the Alps. However, the engineers at the Four Rings are pushing those peaks just even higher for the new Performance versions of the pair. Tweaks to the engine management, bring horsepower up to 597 ponies and 516 lb-ft of torque. Temporary overboost can take the twist to 553 lb-ft, though. This high-performance duo can haul passengers with aplomb by hitting 62 miles per hour in 3.7 seconds – two tenths quicker than a regular RS. Even more impressive, the 12.1-second run to 124 mph also takes 1.4 seconds less than the standard version. Top speed remains the same 155 mph, but the optional Dynamic Package takes off the limiter to let the RS6 reach 174 mph and the RS7 go 189.5 mph. The eight-speed tiptronic remains from the standard RS versions, and it routes power through the Quattro all-wheel drive system with a 40:60 front-rear split. An optional sport differential at the back can also provide some extra assistance. Both Performance models come standard with an adaptive air suspension, but for those willing to spend a little more a stiffer RS sport suspension plus with Dynamic Ride Control is available, as well. The Performance pair launches in Germany at the beginning of November, but there's reason to get excited in the US, too. Audi spokesperson Mark Dahncke confirms to Autoblog that the RS7 Performance is coming here. More details about it should arrive around the Los Angeles Auto Show, he said.

The Audi RS 6 Avant performance* and Audi RS 7 Sportback performance* further hone the brand's sporty profile. Their 4.0 TFSI engine with 445 kW (605 hp) and up to 750 Nm (553.2 lb ft) of torque push acceleration (3.7 seconds) nearly to levels usually reserved for supercars. Fuel consumption remains unchanged at 9.6 and 9.5 liters per 100 kilometers (24.5 and 24.8 US mpg), respectively, corresponding to 223 and 221 g CO2 per km (358.9 and 355.7 g/mi). These are best-in-segment figures.

Notes and notations on the 2014 Rolex 24 at Daytona [w/video]

Sat, 25 Jan 2014

This year is the 52nd edition of the Daytona 24 Hours. The 2014 Rolex 24 at Daytona is also the first race of the year in the brand new TUDOR United SportsCar Championship (TUSCC) With the merger of the American Le Mans Series and Grand-Am Rolex Sports Car Series rewriting and revising the rules of American sports car racing right up until yesterday, we've made the journey to an intermittently wet and constantly freezing Daytona Beach, Florida with Audi to watch the new R8 LMS and every other competitor explore the limits of those rules on the track.
With a ton to cover - and a couple of videos below to watch, including some slo-mo qualifying footage and a hot lap in an R8 LMS - let's not waste time with chit-chat, eh?
