2005 Audi A8l W 12 on 2040-cars
San Rafael, California, United States
|
I purchased this rare car in October 2012 from the original owner who first leased it through his company and then bought it personally so he could continue driving it. The only damage he had was caused by a piece of wood that flipped up and slightly dented the front hood which was repaired perfectly before I bought it. It has been serviced throughout by Sonnen Audi of Marin by both the original owner and myself. Any enquiries can be directed to Gene Frank of Sonnen Audi. This car has everything including a Valentine 360 Radar Detector installed. The owner spent another $8,500.00 to bring the purchase price up to $126,555 in July 2005 by adding a Full Leather Upgrade, Adaptive Cruise Control, 20" wheels (instead of 19"), a solar sunroof to power the twin fans to keep the interior cool in summer and XM Satellite radio. It has blue tooth to connect your phone for calls. All I added was an I-Phone dock to charge the I-Phone and play my music, although the car also has a 6 disc CD player which sounds great o the Bose sound system. It also has a 6 disc DVD player for movies shown on the 2 screens on the rear of the front head rests. Remote control and 2 headsets included. Great for kids. I had Sonnen Audi carry out a "105 Point pre-Owned Inspection" when I bought it and it passed all items. I bought a "Platinum" Level Audi Pure Protection Policy from Sonnen Audi good to October 2014. I have had the car serviced at Audi and had only 2 minor problems. The rear drivers side door locking button and the trunk power closing, all fixed under the warranty. Nothing major and the car has driven like new with no problems. The current M&S tires on the car have good tread left and I also have a spare set of summer tires included in the price which are almost brand new. The car has always been garaged at home and also is parked in a covered garage at work so the paint and leather are still looking like new. Special things I like are the heated and ventilated seats and the drive to car computer interface monitor (voice control) which I use mainly to change music when driving. It is a very special car and the new owner will be a very happy person to be seen driving this car around town.

2014 Audi SQ5 ditches diesel, still packs a punch
Mon, 14 Jan 2013Over in Europe-land, the Audi SQ5 is a diesel-powered monster capable of sending a whopping 479 pound-feet of torque to its wheels. Naturally, this beast isn't coming to the States, but that doesn't mean we're missing out on the whole SQ5 experience altogether. At the Detroit Auto Show this week, Audi is debuting a new gasoline-powered version of the hot crossover, and while it's not quite the oil-burning dreamboat we've lusted after from afar, we certainly wouldn't kick it out of bed.
Instead of a diesel, we get a boosted version of Audi's supercharged 3.0-liter V6, good for 354 horsepower and 346 pound-feet of torque. Running through an eight-speed automatic transmission, the SQ5 will reportedly be able to fire off 0-60 times in the low-five-second range and will top out at an electronically limited 155 miles per hour. Suspension upgrades are on hand to improve road-going prowess, but also lower the Q5's stance a bit, too.
Because this is an S model, there are plenty of visual upgrades on hand, including a more aggressive front fascia, 20-inch wheels and some pretty new colors including Estoril Blue and Panther Black. Interior upgrades like Alcantara trim and aluminum brightwork add to some sportiness from the cockpit view, as well.
Genesis G70 vs sport sedan rivals: How it compares on paper
Fri, Sep 15 2017We got our first look at the Genesis G70 sport sedan today. We think it looks good, with enough ties to its fellow Genesises (Geneses?) to further establish the brand and just enough distinction to help it stand out from the crowd. But ah yes, the crowd. Although Genesis didn't release the G70's full spec sheet, it revealed just enough for us to start sizing it up to its future competition. There are certainly others with which to compare (Lexus IS, Cadillac ATS, Alfa Romeo Giulia, Jaguar XE just to name a few), but we decided to take a look at the best sellers and most competitive luxury sport sedans. (And hey, if you like this, we can always do a follow up) So, here we have the Genesis G70 vs BMW 3 Series vs Audi A4 / S4 vs Mercedes-Benz C-Class vs Infiniti Q50. Nothing like a good chart to dig your teeth into on a Friday. Note that we only compared those models that line up with the G70. So, we left out the BMW 320i and Audi A4 Ultra entry level models as well as the Q50 3.0t mid-grade model that's considerably cheaper than the German performance upgrade models we listed. All 0-60 figures are rough estimates based on several sources, models/drivetrains and OEM figures.

Bathurst 12-hour gallery is GT3 heaven [w/video]
Mon, Feb 9 2015The 2015 Liqui-Moly Bathurst 12-Hour race was run this weekend at the Mt. Panorama Circuit in Bathurst, Australia. Race photographer Joel Strickland sent us a huge batch of photos, all of which make us salivate for the switch to GT3 rules in the United SportsCar Championship; the top seven finishers at Bathurst were of seven different makes: Nissan GT-R NISMO GT3, Audi R8-LMS Ultra, Aston Martin Vantage GT3, Bentley Continental GT3, Mercedes SLS AMG GT3, Ferrari F458 Italia and Lamborghini Gallardo. It was a sweet victory for the No. 35 car driven by the NISMO Athlete Global Team after it crashed in Saturday qualifying, and then was only in third place on the penultimate lap. The three-man driving team included two GT Academy winners, one of whom, Florian Strauss, has only been a professional race car driver for 18 months. It's the first time the GT-R has won at Panorama since the original R32 "Godzilla" took back-to-back wins in 1991 and 1992. Second place went to the No. 15 Phoenix Racing Audi R8-LMS Ultra, 2.4 seconds behind the winners, third to the Craft Bamboo Racing Aston Martin Vantage not even half a second behind the Audi. The Bentley Motorsport team, in its first Bathurst 12-Hour with two cars, had its No. 10 Continental GT3 in the lead until the penultimate lap and in second place until the final corner, but crossed the line in fourth after some rubbin'-is-racin' action from chasers. And if pictures aren't enough, as of writing you can still watch the live stream of the entire race at the Bathurst 12-Hour site. Or, if you don't have the time, at least be sure to check out the last five minutes, below. Enjoy.
