Avant Wagon on 2040-cars

Vehicle Overview
All A6 models now have standard curtain-type airbags, and Audi stretches its warranty of the entire vehicle by one year to four years/50,000 miles, including scheduled maintenance. The A6 is the midpriced model in Audi’s lineup, and it returns in sedan and wagon (called Avant) styling with a choice of front-wheel drive or Quattro permanently engaged all-wheel drive. Audi is the luxury division of Volkswagen, and about 80 percent of Audi’s U.S. sales are Quattro models. Curtain airbags that deploy along the side windows in side collisions are a new standard feature on the A6 2.8 and 2.7T models, instead of as an option in previous model years. They already were standard on the top-shelf A6 4.2. The Electronic Stabilization Program, a lateral-skid control system, is a new standard feature on the 2.7T and 4.2 sedans and optional on the 2.8 sedan. Steering-wheel controls for the audio system and a cellular telephone are now standard on the 4.2 sedan and optional on the others. Exterior The A6’s smooth, flowing shape was introduced for the 1998 model year. Revamped front styling with a longer hood debuted last year to accommodate a new V-8 engine. At 192 inches overall, the A6 is the same size as the Acura 3.2TL and slightly longer than the Lexus ES 300. Interior The elegant, luxurious interior provides ample room for five adults, and all are treated to leather-trimmed seats. Wood trim on the doors, center console and dashboard add touches of warmth. The dashboard has attractive white-on-black gauges, but Audi uses red instrument lighting that some find too harsh on the eyes. Audi says the A6’s trunk holds 15.4 cubic feet of cargo, which is unexceptional, but it looks much larger than that. The cargo floor is wide and goes well forward, and the trunk opening is large enough to easily load bulky items. The rear seatback folds for additional space. One of the A6’s coolest features is the Warm Weather Package, which includes a solar sunroof that activates interior fans when the car is parked in the sun. Under the Hood Audi uses engine size to designate models. The A6 2.8 uses a 2.8-liter V-6 with 200 horsepower. The A6 2.7T has a 2.7-liter V-6 with dual turbochargers and 250 hp, and the A6 4.2 has a 4.2-liter V-8 with 300 hp — the same engine used in the A8 sedan. Safety Safety features are abundant. Besides the required front airbags, all models have side-impact airbags for the front seats and curtain airbags that protect the heads and upper bodies of all outboard passengers. Side airbags for the rear seats are optional. Antilock brakes also are standard. |

2014 Audi RS7 priced from $104,900* in the US [w/video]
Tue, 30 Jul 2013Audi has officially priced the svelte 2014 RS7 from $104,900 (*not including $825 for destination), undercutting its sole competitor, the BMW M6 Gran Coupe, by $8100. Even when we're talking about six-figure super sedans, that's not a small amount of money. And soon, this class of sleek stormers will be joined by the updated Mercedes-Benz CLS63 AMG 4Matic.
With its combination of a twin-turbocharged, 4.0-liter, 560-horsepower V8 engine and Audi's excellent Quattro all-wheel drive, the RS7 is expected to hit 60 miles per hour in just 3.7 seconds, 0.4 seconds faster than the manufacturer estimate for the M6 Gran Coupe.
We've already given the RS7 a thorough shakedown in Europe, and we came away quite impressed with just how stunning this Audi is, both to drive and to look at. Now that we've got a price to go along with the performance and style, this Audi is even more appealing - in our high-dollar dreams, anyway. Take a look at a short video from Audi, as well as the official press blast, below.
Audi reveals driver lineup and livery for Rolex 24 at Daytona
Thu, 02 Jan 2014Audi has announced driver lineups for its customer teams running the R8 LMS GTD in this year's Rolex 24 at Daytona. The Rolex 24 is the first event for the inaugural season of the new United SportsCar Championship series, which merges the old Grand-Am Series with the American Le Mans Series. The new series kicks off January 25.
Flying Lizard Motorsports, which has traditionally been known for repping the Porsche 911, will campaign a pair of R8 coupes, while GMG Racing, Paul Miller Racing and Fall-Line Motorsports will run one car each. A number of drivers on each team are Audi Sport factory drivers, hot shoes like Oliver Jarvis for Fall-Line and Filipe Albuquerque and Dion von Moltke for Flying Lizard, while there are also a few Audi Sport customer drivers.
"We have a fantastic group of racing partners and drivers this season and look forward to defending last year's Daytona win," said president of Audi of America, Scott Keogh. "The successes of the R8 in endurance racing are a testament to the engineering found in every Audi on the road today."
2013 Audi RS5 Cabriolet
Wed, 29 May 2013The Audi RS5 is a bit of an odd duck in the brand's US lineup. At the moment it is one of only two RS models - the other being the TT RS - atop a pyramid of A and higher-performing S models. It is not, however, the brand's flagship performance model - not even close - that space being occupied by variants of the R8 supercar, specifically the V10 and GT models, and upcoming 560-horsepower RS7.
The RS5 does, however, owe its beating heart to those ten-cylinder R8s, its own 4.2-liter V8 almost identical to those engines save for two fewer cylinders. Outside of the R8, then, the RS5 is the lone bastion of naturally aspirated V8 power in a brand that once happily shoved 4.2-liter V8s under any hood that they would fit. Today, not even the giant Q7 SUV offers a V8. Lastly, the RS5 is not new, except to us, having been on sale in Europe in coupe form the last couple of years.
While Europeans were able to enjoy the hardtop two-door without us, the RS5 Cabriolet is reaching both peoples around the same time: now. We reviewed the RS5 coupe just recently, and having spent some time with the tin-top model myself as well, here is my take on the droptop version of what I consider one of Audi's most interesting models.
