* A note to potential Q5 buyers: there are three distinct trim levels available for the Audi Q5. They are "Premium" (the most basic/stripped-down model), "Premium Plus" (the mid-range model), and "Prestige" (the most advanced/luxurious model). You will find, on this site and others, that many are trying to pass off and sell "Premium" and "Premium Plus" models as Prestige models. Since these cars don't carry exterior badges that identify them as one or the other, it can be quite easy for unscrupulous sellers to attempt to pass off a car as a top-of-the-line model when it is in fact a stripper/base model that sold for much less when new, typically an $11,000 difference. How do you spot this difference? There are two easy ways to spot a true "Prestige" model.

1.) The headlights. If you are looking at a base-model you will see two standard halogen type reflector housings placed side-by-side, much like conventional car headlights. A Prestige model will have bi-xenon projector lenses and a strip of LED daytime running lights running across the top of the headlight assembly. 

2.) Center control panel (located between the driver and passengers seats). A base model "Premium" will have a blank plastic slab surrounding the gearshifter in the center console. No goodies at all. A mid-range "Premium Plus" may have a few buttons but will be lacking at least the keyless ignition (a large silver button to the left of the gearshift) and probably the MMI (Audi Advanced Muti-Media Interface) as well. A Prestige model will always have the MMI, which controls navigation, bluetooth, etc. and this can be spotted by looking for a large silver-trimmed black dial at the base of the gear shift.

Audi's diesel-electric supercar is codenamed 'Scorpion'

Mon, 15 Apr 2013

Speculation continues as to the final nature of the diesel-hybrid Audi supercar said to arrive in 2016 or 2017. A previous report in Automobile had the halo coupe, based closely on the R18 etron quattro endurance racer, codenamed R20 and pegged to look like a Le Mans winner for the street with around 700 horsepower and 737 pound-feet of torque from a twin-turbo V6. Now Car and Driver has updated the gossip with a report that the car is internally called "Scorpion," and it will be even closer to the R18 than supposed.
CD says the heart of the car will use the R18 etron quattro's carbon fiber tub and its engine will be "taken directly" from the race car. That means a 3.7-liter V6 with a single turbo that, in ACO-spec restricted form, outputs 500 hp and 625 lb-ft - CD suspects production output could get to 600 hp - and drives the rear wheels, aided by hybrid motors driving the front wheels. And remember, at Le Mans the R18's hybrid motors can't kick in until they're above a certain speed in order to prevent Audi from getting an advantage coming out of slow corners. A street car wouldn't face that restriction.
The Scorpion would be a fulsome and undiluted example of the technologies Audi has created during its return to sports car racing. Its exterior design hasn't been finalized, with CD citing either the convoluted concept of "a retro take on the future of racing" or packaging that would adhere to the R18's looks. To make sure it is properly appreciated and sells well, production could be limited to the same 333 units as the R8 GT and A1 Quattro.

Audi celebrates 25 years of TDI

Fri, Jul 18 2014

Nope, the diesel engine never really did go out of style for Audi. Now, the German automaker has released a video reminding the world of its persistence with the oil-burners and is commemorating the Silver Anniversary of Audi's first commitment to turbodiesels in 1989. And, yes, there are some road racers shown in the clip, so some of those bad boys actually move pretty well. Audi engineers on camera admitted to some of the early TDI engines being "slow" but still valuable for their torque and, obviously, their fuel economy relative to gas-powered engines. A bunch of tinkering later, though, and Audi says its diesels can be a legitimate "part of a performance car" and has even overcome the issue of noisiness that's often associated with diesels. The automaker made some news in these parts a few years back when its Audi A3 TDI won the 2010 Green Car of the Year at the annual LA Auto Show in late 2009, and the model even succeeded a fellow diesel (the Volkswagen Jetta TDI) to boot. Granted, diesel sales aren't nearly as popular in the US as they are in Europe. Still, Audi last year boosted its diesel sales in the US by 40 percent to 10,076, which was about a tenth of what sister company Volkswagen sold in diesels last year in the States. And things have looked even rosier this year for Audi's TDI sales. Through June, Audi diesel sales have almost quadrupled from a year earlier to more than 8,100 units. Check out the 150-second video on Audi's 25-years of TDI production below.

Audi and Porsche squabble over future product platforms

Tue, 22 Jul 2014

In the buildup to the 2014 24 Hours of Le Mans, Audi delivered an amusing video that worked on the playful rivalry between the German brand and its favorite frenemy, Porsche. We called it sibling rivalry, and at the time, it may have been just that. But just like sibling rivalries, it's all fun and games until someone gets hurt, and that's just what seems to be about to happen in the formerly peaceful Volkswagen Group family.
A new report from Automobile calls out the growing animosity between Porsche, who is backed up by Bentley, and Audi, whose primary ally is Lamborghini. No blows have actually been thrown, although there is a fair amount of "he said, she said" going on.
As Porsche tells it, for example, the new global fullsize SUV architecture being developed by Audi isn't up to snuff, citing size and structure issues, as well as an inability to accommodate a wide variety of engines.
