** 2006 Audi A8 Sport Incredible Condition 2 Owners All Records D4 20" Wheels ** on 2040-cars
Sacramento, California, United States
The time has come for me to part with my D3 A8. 2006 A8 Sport (SWB/ non-L). 123,XXX miles (not being driven much, but I can't say that it won't be driven a bit more since this has been posted). This has truly been a fantastic car while I've owned it. Full maintenance history since new. I am the second owner. Car needs nothing.
Heated and ventilated front seats with adjustable lumbar and thigh support and massage function Heated rear seats 2014 Nav database Ski sack Recent maintenance/ improvements: Professionally tinted windows Transmission "hoot" TSB/ fluid flush to "blue" LifeGuard 6+ fluid done at 50k Timing belt service (timing belt/ rollers/ water pump/ coolant flush) done at 90k Transmission flush to "green" LifeGuard 8 fluid at 100k Front/ Center/ Rear diffs flushed at 100k MMI assembly overhauled at 100k New inner and outer tie rods at 116k New upper control arms (complete arm with ball joint) and PowerFlex urethane bushings (pressed into new arms) at 116k Brakes all around (EBC "Red Stuff" pads and OEM rotors)/ painted calipers black with S8 retaining clips/ brake fluid flush to Ate Super Blue (gold) at 116k Alignment at 116k Power steering fluid flush at 120k Brand new D4 A7/ A8 Sport 20" wheels with Michelin Pilot Sport AS/3 tires less than 1000 miles ago (not a mark on them) 6 disc CD changer and Audi Music Interface (AMI) installed in glovebox Front bumper has been repainted (valet scraped it on a curb) and front reflectors were painted over Car has been tastefully and modestly lowered via software (VCDS procedure) Window trim has been professionally wrapped in matte black vinyl, however, the "C" pillars will need to be re-done. Don will warranty this for anyone on the coast of CA, otherwise any good vinyl shop can repair this, or you can simply remove the whole thing and have the factory chrome. Entire car has been wet sanded (2500) and polished Car really is in fantastic shape, and I get asked on a regular basis (from people who don't know Audi's) "is that a 2013? How do you like it?" Notes: Slight rock chipping around front of car (much less than you'd expect on a car at this mileage) Front bumper has very minor damage at the edge where it meets the front fender on the driver side (looks like it's from a pry tool)- guessing this was caused when they pulled the bumper for the timing belt service (see pic below). Rear bumper has very slight scratches at the radius on the driver ride where someone backed into the car in a parking lot. 95% buffed out, but it's just barely noticeable now (see pic below). Light scratch on front fender on passenger side, just behind the bumper. Was there when I bought the car, and I didn't want to do any paintwork to get it out. Original windshield, and ideally it's probably time for new glass (slight pitting/ chips) Interior is in fantastic condition. Leather shows very minimal wear. Wood looks nearly new most places. Suede headliner is flawless. |

Audi confirms all-electric SUV on the way
Wed, Mar 11 2015The electric crossover segment might become a hot market in just a few years. In addition to the rumors of an electric Jaguar F-Pace and obviously the Tesla Model X, Audi is now confirming an EV "sports activity vehicle" for early 2018. The Germany luxury brand even showed off a rendering (pictured above) of it during the company's annual press conference. Audi technical development boss Dr. Ulrich Hackenberg made the announcement during his portion of the conference but largely avoided hard details. What he said was tantalizing, though. The still un-named model was claimed to offer over 311 miles of driving range and ride on the brand's upcoming MLB 2 platform. Although, Auto Express suggests that it could be called the Q6 E-Tron. Dr. Hackenberg also promised a "new, very attractive design, which we are developing especially for the E-Tron range and for battery-electric vehicles." The rendering showcased a fairly squat crossover design with bold fender flares dominating the styling in profile. The images also suggested almost coupe-like proportions. Thankfully, the wait for more details about the model might not be too long. Dr. Hackenberg told Auto Express that Audi would have a presentation soon about the new model. He also hinted at a little of its tech by suggesting next-gen batteries offering 50 amp-hours and 90 kWh could be enough for sufficient range even in such a large model. With recent unveilings like the R8 E-Tron and Q7 E-Tron, Audi is rapidly moving towards offering more plugins and electric models. With this latest announcement, that expansion only appears to be accelerating. Prof. Dr.-Ing. Ulrich Hackenberg, Member of the Board of Management at AUDI AG for Technical Development Speech to the Annual Press Conference 2015 Ladies and Gentlemen, 2014 was the year of technical milestones, tests and records. Think of the sportiest piloted car in the world, the Audi RS 7 concept, which lapped the Hockenheimring racetrack extremely dynamically without a driver – at up to 240 km/h. Another mega-success was our 13th victory in the world's most important endurance race. The Audi R18 e-tron quattro with diesel-hybrid drive triumphed in the 24 Hours of Le Mans. 2014 – that was also 25 years of TDI technology. As strong evidence of the future viability of combustion engines, we showed the Audi RS 5 TDI concept – the fastest diesel ever timed on the Hockenheimring.

Mon, Oct 11 2021This month of Editors' Picks saw us award the honor to a few top-notch crossovers and SUVs, plus one luxury sportback. Manufacturers keep rolling out excellent new crossovers, and the Genesis GV70 and Jeep Grand Cherokee L are great examples. Plus, living the good life with our long-term Hyundai Palisade has been evidence enough that it's worthy of an editors' pick. Read on below for the full breakdown and see what made the cut for September. In case you missed our previous Editors' Picks posts, here’s a quick refresher on whatÂ’s going on here. We rate all the new cars we drive with a 1-10 score. Cars that are exemplary in their respective segments get EditorsÂ’ Pick status.

The list that youÂ’ll find below consists of every car we rated in August that earned an EditorsÂ’ Pick. 2022 Genesis GV70 2022 Genesis GV70 at Mt St Helens View 37 Photos Quick take: Genesis' first shot at a compact luxury crossover is a strong one that moves the segment forward and makes for an excellent alternative to one of the many other established options.

Props to Genesis for its risk-taking design, which has remade its lineup with confidence. The GV70 is just the latest in a series of wins for Genesis." In-depth analysis: 2022 Genesis GV70 First Drive Review | The real deal  2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee L 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee L View 35 Photos Quick take: The 2022 Grand Cherokee L is inarguably immense, swank, and much better on-road than the previous SUV. It even keeps up the Jeep tradition of being great off-road while still carrying tons of passengers and gear.
Recharge Wrap-up: BMW i3 carshare, Audi e-gas plant
Thu, Jul 16 2015Elix Wireless has announced its E10K Wireless Charging System. The system is designed for harsh conditions, delivers up to 10 kilowatts and features automatic detection and removal of foreign objects. Its low frequency makes it safe to operate near oil and gas, and in other hazardous environments. The system can charge personal vehicles, as well as electric buses, trucks, mining equipment and heavy duty machinery. Elix has "created an entirely new technology that meets customer demand for fast, safe and reliable charging," says, CEO David Smith. The E10K system uses Elix's Magneto-Dynamic Coupling technology, with rotating permanent magnets in the transmitter and receiver. Read more at Green Car Congress, or in the press release from Elix Wireless. FreeWire Technologies and Siemens are working together on a pilot program for the Mobi Charger. The mobile charging station, which uses second-life EV batteries to charge electric vehicles, will be deployed for a trial at LinkedIn's campus in Mountain View, CA. The Mobi is more flexible than stationary chargers in that it brings the charging to the car, regardless of where it is parked, rather than having to park the EV in a specific spot. It can charge up to five cars per day without putting stress on the grid during peak hours. Read more from Siemens. Audi's e-gas plant in Werlte, Germany helps stabilize the power grid. The plant, which produces synthetic methane using CO2, water and electricity, is able to draw six megawatts of power within five minutes, allowing it to become certified in the electricity balancing market. This helps the grid adapt to the larger load fluctuations that go hand-in-hand with generating renewable energy. It also allows the plant to achieve higher operating times and produce more e-gas each year. Read more in the press release from Audi. The BMW i3 is now available through the DriveNow carsharing service in Germany. DriveNow, which is a joint venture between BMW and car rental company Sixt, has put 100 i3s into service in Berlin, Hamburg and Munich. BMW also says that it supports a shift away from private car ownership in order to improve urban living and mobility, and sees electric carsharing as an important part of that. "We are witnessing the changes our customers and society as a whole are making and we are taking them on board," says BMW's Dr. Bernhard Blattel.
