EUROPEAN CAR FEB 2009 COVER CAR As I speed through the canyons my trusty sidekick, a highly advanced artificial intelligence computer built into the car, warns me that I'm pushing too hard, the speeds are too high. If this was a normal car, like something with a front-mounted V8, he might be right. I am, however, in a mid-engine, all-wheel-drive supercar modified by OEMplus. It may sound ridiculous, but all this goes through my head in the first 30 seconds of setting eyes on this R8. The car is all black, as black as Spinal Tap's vinyl album cover. In fact, there are none more black than this. The modifications are subtle and cunningly chosen to maximize effect. Most will mistake this car for being completely stock. Its special nature will go largely unnoticed. That's the point of a superhero. 2008 Audi R8 Rear Start with the wheels. Built by Dymag, they may be one of the best performance modifications a car owner can currently purchase. They aren't cheap, but weighing in at 16 pounds front and a mere 19 pounds rear, they remove not only unsprung weight but rotational mass as well. The rolling works of art are of two-piece construction. The outer barrel is built from carbon fiber. This isn't a chopped fiber reinforced plastic either. The barrels are pressure molded using continuous woven fibers for a true aerospace-quality piece. The wheel inners are cast magnesium. Long the first choice of racers, Dymag has taken this technology to the streets to make what is possibly the highest strength-to-weight ratio wheel in existence. Without putting this particular car on a dyno we can guess that the wheels alone are worth 10-15 hp at the wheels. Adding even more power to the wheels is a custom exhaust system that can best be described as earthshaking. The Super Charged 4.2-liter V8 breathes unhindered by mufflers or any sort of sound absorption. Straight pipes from the cats to the tips. The exhaust gives the car a crackly wail, sounding something like chucking glass blocks into a tree shredder. It's loud; the sound echoing off the canyon walls makes me nervous as it seems it may bring down boulders like a 5.0 quake. On downshifts, the throttle blips sound like a big jet engine right at the point it hits the afterburners. On deceleration it burbles like an angry European soccer riot working its way into the town square. The sound is intoxicating from behind the wheel during hard driving. On city streets it frightens pedestrians and angers authorities. On the freeway, the exhaust is ever present and entertaining, for five minutes at the most. At 120 mph, the R8 actually quiets a bit and at 140 mph is almost civil. Apparently this is exactly the system the owner wanted for the car. If it were us, we would opt for something with a butterfly valve. A car this stealthy deserves to sneak around sometimes.

Audi kicks off ad campaign tonight with stirring new spot
Mon, 13 May 2013Following last week's entertaining and wildly popular Spock vs. Spock video, Audi has come back with a bevy of videos for its new advertising campaign that will begin airing tonight in primetime and on cable.
There are five ads altogether, but the longest one, a 60-second spot titled It Couldn't Be Done, is our favorite by far. Set to a reading of the poem of the same name by Edgar Albert Guest, the commercial chronicles the history of Auto Union Deutschland Ingolstadt from the days of its founder, August Horch, through its many decades of innovation, competition and creativity. Indeed, watching the commercial gave us chills similar to when we first heard the Ram brand's Farmer commercial that aired during this year's Super Bowl.
The other four commercials are shorter 15-second spots that focus on such familiar themes as the company's Quattro all-wheel-drive system, the safety of its vehicles, their style and the company's advances in LED lighting. While less impactful than the longer ad, we think they effectively sound the drum beat of Audi's preferred tag line: Truth in Engineering. Scroll down to watch all five new ads, starting with the 60-second It Couldn't Be Done.
Volkswagen breaks 40-year-old sales record in 2012
Sun, 13 Jan 2013The last time Volkswagen moved this many vehicles in America in one year, Richard Nixon was still a President in good standing, Let It Be was a radio hit and each car wearing the VW badge boasted an air-cooled engine. That's right, with a grand total of 580,286 vehicles sold in the US last year, the VW Group has broken its own four-decades-old sales record by 2,899 vehicles.
Of that 580k total sold, 438k were Volkswagens and 139k were Audi products - increases of 35.1 percent and 18.5 percent, respectively, in year-over-year sales. The ultra-premium members of the VW group also fared well; Bentley delivered 2,315 vehicles for a 23.3-precent increase, and Lamborghini delivered 520 units for a 52.9-percent jump. Bugatti, we're told is "right on track."
Jetta (pictured) sales paced the marque with 170k models sold, and Passat also finished very strong with sales of 117k total. Tiguan also racked up its best year on file, with 31,731 models shifted.
Audi recalls A6, A7, and A3 in two airbag-related campaigns
Sat, Jan 2 2016Audi will recall a total of 21,978 vehicles in the US across two campaigns. The Basics: Audi's larger recall covers 21,074 examples of 2012-2013 A6 sedans with manufacturing dates between March 28, 2011, and March 25, 2013, and the 2012-2013 A7 models built between January 25, 2011, and March 19, 2013. The Problem: In examples of the sedans with heated and cooled seats, the Passenger Occupant Detection System can malfunction and prevent the passenger's side airbag from deploying in a crash. Injuries/Deaths: None reported. The Fix: Dealers will repair the Passenger Occupant Detection System. If You Own One: Audi will begin the recall in February 2016. The Basics: In the smaller safety campaign, Audi will recall 904 examples of the 2015 A3 Cabriolet built between June 5, 2014, and April 1, 2015. The Problem: The driver or front passenger seat covers might not have the correct stitching, and this could prevent the side airbag from properly deploying in a crash. Injuries/Deaths: None reported. The Fix: Dealers will replace the seatback covers on affected seats. If You Own One: Audi will begin the recall in February 2016.

SUMMARY: Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. (Volkswagen) is recalling certain model year 2012-2013 Audi A6 vehicles manufactured March 28, 2011, to March 25, 2013, and 2012-2013 Audi A7 vehicles manufactured January 25, 2011, to March 19, 2013. In vehicles with heated and cooled seats, the Passenger Occupant Detection System (PODS), used to enable the front passenger air bags, may malfunction and prevent the passenger-side air bags from deploying in a crash. CONSEQUENCE: An air bag that does not deploy as intended increases the risk of occupant injury in a crash. REMEDY: Volkswagen will notify owners, and Audi dealers will install a PODS system repair kit, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin in February 2016. Owners may contact Audi customer service at 1-800-253-2834. Volkswagen's number for this recall is 74D1.
