Please read the description for the  Audi 2000, A6, 4.2 L, V8 as proven by Motortrend

Audi's new 4.2-liter 40-valve V-8, with a potent 300 horsepower coursing through its output shaft, will significantly change the A6 equation, give it a considerably more exuberant personality, and solidify the model as the center of the marque's North American offensive. While it will also be shared with the A8 (in a 310-horse version), this thoroughly modern eight-cylinder engine will likely provide the most noticeable punch in the lightweight A6, which could give this model the same type of attraction to performance-enthusiasts that the 540i enjoys within the BMW lineup.Technical highlights of this V-8 include a five-valve configuration that uses three intake and two exhaust valves, an electronic "drive-by-wire" throttle, variable camshaft control, and a three-stage magnesium intake manifold, which helps mold a flat, useable torque curve that holds its peak of 296 pound-feet from 3000 to 4000 rpm.The 4.2's power doesn't come on with a gutsy snap, but with a strong, fleet-footed takeoff that's smooth, quiet, and quick. Although our initial test drive in Germany was hampered by snowy weather (which the Quattro system handled in stride), the 4.2 displayed good acceleration, ample passing power on the autobahn, and an eager willingness to go deep into triple digits. Its subtle, distinctive exhaust note identifying its presence, the V-8 blends seamlessly with the rest of the A6 package, enhancing the car's fun factor and liveability, without calling undue attention to itself. In short, the 4.2-liter brings out the performance potential we always longed for in the A6.

 

Audi tests show the 4.2 can run from 0-100 kph (0-62 mph) in 6.9 seconds. If consistent with our tests, this would put the 4.2 slightly off the pace of its primary competition-the BMW 540i, Mercedes-Benz E430, and Lexus GS 400-which all make the sprint to 60 mph in between 5.5 and 6.2 seconds.The V-8 feeds power to a five-speed driver-adaptive automatic transmission with Tiptronic manual shifting, such as that used in the six-cylinder version. Power is then routed through Audi's Quattro full-time all-wheel-drive system to 235/50YR16 Dunlop SP5000 tires, mounted on 16-inch six-spoke wheels. For upgraded wheels and rubber, you could opt for a sport package, which adds 17-inch five-spoke wheels and 255/40YR17 Dunlop SP9000 high-performance tires, along with a tauter suspension and sport seats. Stopping, meanwhile, is effectively achieved with ventilated discs at all four wheels, high-performance four-piston aluminum calipers in the front, and ABS. Audi's Electronic Stability Program also adds an extra dimension of driver safety and control.To fit the V-8 comfortably into the A6 body, Audi reworked the car's front end, developing new aluminum hood and fenders, headlights, and bumper, which extends the car's front by about 1.6 inches. Other body changes from the current A6 include sill panel extensions along the lower edge, flared wheel openings, and a 1.4-inch-wider track. Meanwhile, a retuned suspension with new aluminum control arms has lowered the ride height by about 0.4-inch.Inside, the A6 4.2 offers a spoiling list of standard features. In addition to front airbags, the 4.2 includes side airbags for both front and rear passengers, plus Audi's new inflatable curtain-type bag, called Sideguard, designed to protect the heads of passengers in front and rear seats during a side impact. Another notable safety feature is the use of pretensioners at all three-point seatbelt locations. More improvements to the current A6's interior include steering-wheel-mounted audio controls that warn you of nearby objects, a larger-faced audio system with easier-to-access buttons and in-dash CD player, and revamped rear seat with more contoured outer positions and an expandable ski sack.On the options list is an acoustic parking system, Xenon headlights, hands-free telephone, and a scaled-down navigation system that's integrated into the driver information system in the instrument cluster. The system doesn't include a map display, but does provide visual and audio directions and is controlled through buttons in the center console.There's no denying that the 4.2-liter V-8 and its accompanying changes bring a welcome new dimension to the already inviting A6. Of course, with higher output and more overall potential comes higher pricing. While Audi isn't discussing specific pricing yet, the company assures us that it will be "fully competitive" with its primary competition, which should put it in the mid- to upper-$40,000 range. This also means higher expectations as it goes head to head with some of the world's best sport sedans. Is it up to the fight? Stay tuned.

Next Audi R8 to be up to 130 pounds lighter

Tue, 26 Nov 2013

"Simplify and add lightness," as Lotus founder Colin Chapman said. In a world where even supercars are subject to environmental, efficiency and emissions standards, lighter vehicles are being looked on as a sort of panacea - make it lighter, and it's automatically faster, more agile, easier to brake and better on gas.
Knowing this, it comes as no shock that Audi is looking at ways to lighten up its next-generation R8, with the brand's head of technical development Ulrich Hackenberg targeting a 110- to 130-pound diet for the mid-engine rocket. This supports previous reports regarding the focus for the next R8. Motor Trend reports that aluminum and carbon fiber feature heavily in plans for the next R8, which should go a long way toward slimming down even the lightest of R8s, the 3,678-pound V10 Plus model.
There's more over at Motor Trend, including the buff book's attempts to get Hackenberg to discuss powertrain options for the next R8.

Recharge Wrap-up: Tesla software suggestions, 'Audi at home' car sharing

Wed, Nov 11 2015

Norwegian Tesla buff Bjorn Nyland wants the Tesla community to offer suggestions for the Firmware 7.1 over-the-air update. 7.0 includes a variety of small changes to the interface design, which Nyland discusses in depth in the video above. He offers constructive criticism, especially for things like the placement of certain data within the display. He calls upon other drivers to suggest their own changes and features they'd like to see in future updates. Nyland plans to tweet at Elon Musk once there are enough comments with hopes that Tesla will take the community's suggestions into consideration. See the video above, and read more at Teslarati. A survey of NRG eVgo stations found that drivers use DC fast charging over Level 2 charging by a ratio of 12 to 1. While businesses might prefer to install a Level 2 charger because it is cheaper and could help convince the customer to linger longer while they wait for a charge, this study suggests that DC charging could actually be a better way to attract customers. But the question is how to make DC charging sustainable for businesses with regard to the costs. Read more at Green Car Reports. Audi is launching its vehicle sharing program at luxury residences in San Francisco and Miami this week. Called "Audi at home," the program provides residents with a fleet of Audi vehicles at their disposal at either hourly or daily rates. The cars – the S7, S5 Cabriolet, SQ5, TT Roadster, Q7, and RS5 Cabriolet – are all of the Prestige trim level. Drivers needn't worry about mileage charges, tolls, fuel costs, insurance, or cleaning. Just reserve the car online, and drop it off at the property's valet when finished. Audi at home is launching at the Lumina luxury condos in San Francisco and at the Four Seasons Residences in Miami, with expansion to more cities planned for the future. Read more from Audi. Ballard is partnering with bus manufacturer King Long to build fuel cell buses in China. The two companies will work together to design and deploy the hydrogen-powered buses first in China, then in King Long's global network. "We are delighted to be working with the second largest bus OEM in the world on this important fuel cell bus design and market opportunity," says Ballard President and CEO Randy MacEwen. "Together, we are looking to optimize the design in order to improve performance, while lowering cost.

Ward's reveals annual 10 Best Engines list for 2013

Thu, 13 Dec 2012

Ward's Auto has released its annual 10 Best Engines award winners. The 2013 list covers the full width and breadth of the internal combustion spectrum, from a spate of efficient four-cylinders to the most powerful production V8 on the planet. As always, the entries must be available in a production vehicle in the first quarter of 2013 with an MSRP of less than $55,000. The supercharged 3.0-liter V6 from the Audi S5 held on for the fourth consecutive year, and BMW earned two spots on the list with its turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder and turbo 3.0-liter inline-six.
Ford pulled in two awards for its 2.0-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder and and the supercharged 5.8-liter V8 from the Shelby GT500. Honda matched BMW and Ford with two wins of its own. Wards awarded the 2.4-liter four-cylinder from the Honda Accord Sport as well as the 3.5-liter V6 from the Honda Accord. Chrysler, General Motors and Subaru each garnered a spot on the list as well for the 3.6-liter V6 in the Ram 1500, the turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder in the Cadillac ATS and the 2.0-liter four-cylinder the Subaru BRZ, respectively. You can read the full press release below for more information.
