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.

Audi reveals all-new R8 ahead of Geneva debut
Thu, Feb 26 2015This year's Geneva Motor Show is shaping up to be an absolutely orgy of supercars, but though there will be many that will surely outperform it, few have been as hotly anticipated as the arrival of the all-new, second-generation Audi R8. And here it is. Based around an all-new Audi Space Frame chassis, the new R8 is constructed of a higher proportion of aluminum and carbon fiber than its predecessor. The result is a frame that weighs 15 percent less at just 441 pounds – yet is 40 percent more torsionally rigid - tipping the scales at 3,205 lbs in top spec. Into the middle of that frame Audi has installed a revised version of its 5.2-liter V10, eschewing turbochargers but incorporating new technologies. While other powertrain options are expected to follow, Ingolstadt has gone straight for the top of the range at launch: the 'base' V10 model kicks out 540 horsepower and 398 pound-feet of torque to reach 62 miles per hour in 3.5 seconds and a top speed of 201 mph. The upgraded V10 Plus, however, turns those figures up to 610 hp and 413 lb-ft to reach 62 in just 3.2 seconds, 124 in under ten and a 205-mph top speed. All the while, Audi has also equipped the new ten-cylinder engine with both direct and indirect injection, stop/start and cylinder deactivation systems to cut fuel consumption by 10 percent. It also boasts dry-sump lubrication and a variable exhaust system. Power is transmitted to the road through a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, a mechanical diff and a revised Quattro all-wheel drive system that can send 100 percent of available torque to either the front or rear axle. Aluminum wishbones suspend it all on 19-inch wheels (or optional 20s), with available variable steering and carbon ceramic brakes (optional on the V10 and standard on the V10 Plus). Underbody aerodynamics generate more downforce and a more slippery form, aided by a deployable rear spoiler (or a fixed carbon wing on the Plus model). All those tantalizing greasy bits are cloaked in fresh aluminum sheet-metal, riding on a track that's 1.6 inches wider: the whole shebang stretches 14.5 feet long, 6.4 feet wide and 4.1 feet high, riding on an 8.7-foot wheelbase. Among the myriad new technologies developed for the new R8 are the full LED headlights with optional laser high beams (where they're legal, at least, which currently doesn't include these United States).
2016 Audi TT price increased to $42,900*
Wed, May 6 2015Audi has announced pricing for the new third-generation TT and second-generation TTS, and both models have received a moderate bump. Simply getting into the family will demand $42,900, or $2,550 than the current coupe. If you fancy a topless TT, the price has jumped from $43,350 to $46,400, or $3,050 more than the last one. The performance-oriented TTS and its 292-horsepower, turbocharged 2.0-liter, though, is easily the bargain of the range. At $51,900, it's $3,200 more than the current model. But where the normal TT only gets a nine-horsepower increase and stays even on torque output, the TTS has gone from just 265 hp to 292 ponies. Torque is up as well, from 258 pound-feet (the same as the normal model) to 280-lb-ft. Prices for the TTS Roadster, meanwhile, have not been announced. That said, considering the increases through the rest of the range, we'd expect the high-performance two-seater to come in at or around the $55,000 range. Considering our impressions during our first drive of the standard TT and the performance increase for the TTS, we must say, these price hikes don't seem exorbitant. Scroll down for the official pricing announcement from Audi. AUDI ANNOUNCES PRICING FOR THE ALL-NEW TT MODEL LINE The quintessential design icon boasts a new driver-focused interior and true sports-car performance TT sets standards for in-vehicle technology with the Audi virtual cockpit - a fully digital instrument cluster Virtual cockpit powered by first automotive NVIDIA® Tegra® 30 processor integration May 06, 2015 | HERNDON, Virginia -- Audi today announced pricing for the all-new 2016 Audi TT model line.

Audi celebrates diesel milestone with triple-charged RS5 TDI concept
Thu, 29 May 2014Diesels are typically slower than their gasoline counterparts, but leave it to Audi to turn that notion on its head. After dominating Le Mans and the international endurance racing scene under diesel power for the better part of a decade, the German automaker toyed with the idea of an oil-burning R8 for the road and ultimately made its first performance crossover a diesel. It's made the letters TDI a battle cry, and now it's yelling even louder with the RS5 TDI concept.
Set to be unveiled in a couple of days at the Leipzig Auto Show to celebrate 25 years of the TDI engine, the concept ditches the gasoline-burning 4.2-liter V8 in the production RS5 in favor of a 3.0-liter V6 twin-turbo-diesel with an electric supercharger added on to combat turbo lag. Output comes in at 385 horsepower and 553 pound-feet of torque, which means that while it has 65 fewer horses than the gasoline model, it packs a staggering 236 lb-ft more torque.
The result of the triple-charged madness is a 0-62 time around four seconds flat, trumping the 4.6 seconds for the road-going model. Top speed, of course, is electronically limited to 155 miles per hour, which is a bit of a shame because we bet it'd be a kick to pass a Porsche on the Autobahn in a diesel, now wouldn't it?
