Audi TT


2016 Audi TT Coupe The new TT looks past to move forward.


Review

When the Audi TT was conceived in the mid-1990s, it knew it was a game-changer in his hand. Small coupe segment came to an almost empty and it served as a statement of Audi's commitment to design and precision engineering. PQ34 platform descent VW Golf IV, TT is formed by a number of high-profile designers, including Freeman Thomas, Romulus Rost, Claus Potthoff, Marc Florian, and others. Peter Schreyer joined Audi at the end of the project. Machine head Ulrich Hackenberg, now back Ingolstadt after serving as the head of R & D people at VW, pushed through with the support of Ferdinand Piëch. Mind blowing concept in the 1995 Frankfurt auto show. Like no other car, he founded the Audi mandate in the world of design.
The second -generasi TT, launched in calendar year 2006 is a vehicle that is better in many ways, but do not have the original style without compromise. Now Audi tries to recapture the original spirit of the third generation, which was launched in Europe now. The new TT about a year of arriving in the US

While the least powerful engine in the European version is the 184-hp 2.0-liter TDI, US customers will see at least 220 horsepower and 270 lb-ft of twist from the standard EA888 2.0-liter turbo petrol. Although relatively modest power rating, TT costs ahead with vigor, in part thanks to heavy curb near-3000-pound her. The second generation TT tip the scales about 200 pounds lighter than the first-gen version, and now the third-gen TT has dieted hard to lose 90. The other ran from zero to 62 mph takes about 5.3 seconds according to Audi, while the speed The highest was 155 mph full. The only transmission available for the US version will be a dual-clutch six-speed automatic, and Quattro all-wheel drive will be standard.

While the TT was fast, there was a bit of turbo lag, although it is effectively covered by the quick action of the dual-clutch gearbox. Push the gas pedal is sensitive and Audi sizzling and whooshes forward rush. TT transformed into a vibrant corner with very little understeer, and Sport settings stability control system allows for considerable shift angle before the intervention. Electrically driven power steering precise and well weighted awesome; it was one of the best we've ever driven.
There is no hiding the fact that TT had more bone-mas car market, however. Seating position slightly higher than, say, a Porsche Cayman or BMW Z4. But while this may detract from the feeling of extreme sports car, helping visibility. But make no mistake, there is no confusing TT to A3 from the inside, as the interior, in the spirit of the first TT, is a design showcase. Audi has been simplified and decluttered dashboard, eliminating the central display in the process. All information, including map navigation, are now directly in front of the driver, the ultra high quality TFT screen that makes almost every other screen in the car obsolete. One trick saw large map dismiss digital tach and speedometer to the outer corner of the screen.

HVAC control, heated seats and controls, which are hidden in five air vents. And the MMI infotainment system, which now features a brand touch-pad interface, can also be operated from the steering wheel. Ultra-clean interior looks futuristic and free from distractions. Co-drivers may complain about the lack of screen center, but this is a sports car, right? As for the rear accommodation, we recommend only the seats folded down for extra cargo space; for adults, the rear compartment tightness is coercion. (Not that Audi promises a lot. It says the rear seats are not recommended for anyone over four feet, nine inches.)
Audi TT will come to the US in mid-2015 as 2016 models; we estimate that the base price will be in the north of $ 40,000. With an emphasis on innovative design roots back to the TT, Audi is looking to the pitch the game-changer again.

Audi TT are two small door sports car marketed by Volkswagen Group subsidiary Audi since 1998, both assembled by subsidiaries Audi Audi Hungaria Motor Kft. in Győr, Hungary, using bodyshells manufactured and painted at the Audi Ingolstadt plant. This changed with the third generation models that use parts made entirely by the Hungarian plant.

For each of the two generations, the TT has been available as a 2 + 2 Coupé and as a two-seater roadster employing successive generations of the Volkswagen Group A platform, starting with the A4 (PQ34). As a result of platform-sharing, the Audi TT has identical powertrain and suspension layouts as related platform-mates; including a front-mounted transversely orientated engine, front-wheel drive or quattro four-wheel drive system, and fully independent front suspension using MacPherson struts.

Origins

The styling of the Audi TT began in the spring of 1994 at the Volkswagen Group Design Center in California. [4] The TT was first shown as a concept car at the 1995 Frankfurt Motor Show. [5] The design is credited to J Mays and Freeman Thomas, [4] [5] with Hartmut Warkuss, Peter Schreyer, [6] Martin Smith [5] [7] and Romulus Rost [8] contributes to the award-winning interior design.
A previously unused laser beam welding adaptation, which allows seamless design features on the first-generation TT, delayed introduced. Audi did not initially offer any kind of automatic transmission option for the TT. However, from 2003, a dual-clutch six-speed Direct-Shift Gearbox (DSG) becomes available, the TT variant Britain became the world's first user of a dual clutch transmission is configured for right-hand drive vehicles, although the world's first direct to the road car is equipped with dual clutch transmission previously claimed by Volkswagen Group platform -mate, pushing the left hand Volkswagen Golf Mk4 R32.

Name

Audi TT took the name of the successful motor racing tradition of NSU in the British Isle of Man TT (Tourist Trophy) motorcycle race. NSU started to compete at the TT in 1911, and then joined the company now known as Audi. [10]
Audi TT also follows the NSU 1000TT, 1200TT and TTS cars from the 1960s to take their name from the race.
TT name has also been associated with the phrase "Technology and Tradition". [11]

Facelift Audi TT 1.8 T coupe, Australia

Production model (internal designation Typ 8N) was launched as a Coupé in September 1998, followed by the Roadster in August 1999. It is based on the Volkswagen Group A4 (PQ34) platform used for the Volkswagen Golf Mk4, the original Audi A3, the Skoda Octavia , etc. Styling differ slightly from the concept, except
slightly reprofiled bumpers, and the addition of quarterlight rear window behind the door. Factory production began in October 1998.

Initial TT models gained press coverage for a series of high-speed accidents in Europe. Reported crashes and related deaths occur at speeds over 180 kilometers per hour (110 mph), during sudden lane changes or sharp turns. Both the Coupé and Roadster models are given at the end of 1999 / early 2000, to increase the predictability of car handling at very high speeds. Audi's Electronic Stability Program, and rear spoiler were added, along with suspension modifications. All changes are then incorporated into future series production version of the car.

The original generation Audi TT was nominated for the North American Car of the Year award for 2000. It was also in Car and Driver magazine's Ten Best list in 2000 and 2001.

Factory production of this generation (2000-2006) ended in June 2006.

Post-facelift entry-level interior

Mechanically, the TT share identical powertrain layout with related -mates Volkswagen Group platform. TT use a transversely mounted internal combustion engine, with either front-wheel drive or 'quattro' on-demand four-wheel drive. It was first available with a 1.8-liter inline four-cylinder 20-valve turbocharged engine in two states of DIN-rated output power; 180 PS (132 kW; 178 hp) and 225 PS (165 kW; 222 hp). Machines share the same basic design, but the 225 PS version has a larger K04 turbocharger, an additional intercooler on the left side (complement existing right side intercooler), forged connecting rods, a dual exhaust muffler, and some other internal - designed to accommodate an increase in turbo boost., from about 10 pounds per square inch (0.7 bar) peak, 15 pounds per square inch (1.0 bar) Haldex Traction four-wheel drive is activated, 'labeled' as "quattro" is optional on the 180 engine, and standard on the more powerful version 225.

In July 2003, a new six-speed dual clutch transmission - dubbed the Direct-Shift Gearbox, which improves acceleration through a much reduced time shift, offered, along with a stiffer suspension.

TT quattro Sport

In 2005, Audi released a limited edition of only Coupé (800 sold in the UK, instead of 1000 originally planned) Audi TT quattro Sport (known as the Audi TT Club Sport in Europe). Built by high performance AUDI AG pediatrician quattro GmbH, has increased power of the 1.8-liter turbocharged engine - rose to 240 PS (177 kW; 237 hp) and 320 newton meters (236 lbf • ft) of torque - and 75 kilograms weight (165 lb) to 1,390 kilograms (3064 pounds), [12] which allows for a 0 to 100 kilometers per hour (0.0 to 62.1 mph) time of 5.9 seconds and an electronically limited top speed of 250 kilometers per hour (155.3 mph).

Weight loss is achieved by removing the spare wheel, rear counterweight, rear parcel shelf and rear seats, and a standard AC fitment. The main battery is also moved to the rear of the vehicle to keep the weight distribution as much as possible. Keep coming back lighter Recaro bucket seats adorn the interior. Other distinguished by TT coupe by the two-tone paint scheme (Phantom Black Pearl painted roof, pillars and a house of mirrors, in combination with either Avus Silver, Phantom Black, Blue Mauritius or Misano Red body color) and unique 18 "15-spoke cast aluminum wheels, body kit plus the same as fitted in the TT 3.2 V6, TT quattro Sport also features a black exhaust tailpipes and uprated suspension settings and new wheel, ½ "wider at the rear to improve handling. The brochure states brake-spec V6 that should be installed, but the model is delivered in the UK comes with 225 standard spec brake calipers painted red.

At the 2014 Geneva Motor Show, Audi presented the new 2014 Audi TT Quattro Sport Concept. It is powered by a 2.0-liter TFSI four-cylinder engine that can produce 420 horsepower and 331 lb.-ft. of torque. Using Quattro AWD system and the Audi S tronic dual-clutch transmission.

Audi TT Coupé, rear view

In August 2004, Audi announced that the next-generation TT will be made of aluminum, and will go into production in 2007. [16] A preview of the second generation is given in the form of the Audi TT Shooting Brake concept car, shown at the Tokyo Motor Show in 2005 . This concept is new TT insight, but the styling features of the corner, and "shooting brake" two-door hatchback body styles. Audi revealed the second generation TT, internal designation Typ 8J, on April 6, 2006. It is built on A5 (PQ35) platform Volkswagen Group, and the use of aluminum in the front bodypanels, and steel in the rear, to increase its near- weight distribution front -to-back neutral. It is available in front-wheel drive or 'quattro' four-wheel drive layout, and again offered as a 2 + 2 Coupé, and as a two-seater Roadster. Compared with the previous generation, this new variant is five inches long and three inches wider than its predecessor. Factory production began in August 2006.

8J powertrain

The powertrain options include initially only petrol engine, which consists of one of the two inline four-cylinder engine - the all-new 1.8-liter EA888 Turbocharged Fuel Stratified Injection (TFSI) (available initially only in Germany, then in another place from mid-2009) , or the more common and established EA113-variant 2.0-liter TFSI. The Fuel Stratified Injection (FSI) technology is derived from the Audi Le Mans car endurance race, and offer fuel efficiency and increased power output and cleaner emissions. The 3.2-liter 'V6' badged VR6 engine is carried over from the previous generation, and this machine is also available in the Canadian model. 2.0 TFSI quattro models, with the latest EA888 engine, became available in 2009 model year.
A six-speed manual transmission is standard, with a six-speed Direct Shift Gearbox- (now called "S-TRONIC" on all Audi models) as an option for all engines. Quattro on-demand four-wheel drive, using the Haldex Traction clutch again available - standard on V6 models, but is not available in the 1.8 TFSI.

8J suspension and other features

Like all couples PQ35 platform, the new TT 8J now have a multi-link fully independent rear suspension to complement an independent front suspension. The whole suspension system can be upgraded with the new Audi active suspension, "Audi Magnetic Ride", is available as an option. It is based on the BWI Group's MagneRide, which uses magneto rheological dampers (this means that the electronic control unit for the automatic suspension will adjust its properties damping depending on current road conditions and driving by the way).

The new TT also features a revised rear spoiler; which automatically extends at speeds in excess of 120 kilometers per hour (75 mph) and retracts again below 80 kilometers per hour (50 mph). Spoiler can also be controlled manually by the driver via a button on the dashboard.

2.0 TDI quattro

Launched at the 2008 Geneva Motor Show, Audi offered the first diesel-powered version of the Audi TT in the European market, the Audi TT 2.0 TDI quattro. [23] [24] [25] As the name indicates, is only available with quattro, and is also available in Coupé and Roadster versions. Power comes from a new 2.0-liter turbocharged direct injection (TDI) engine, now with 16 valve, double overhead camshaft (DOHC), 1,800-bar (26 110 psi) common rail fuel delivery and eight-hole piezo fuel injection, which produces DIN -rated output of 125 kilowatts (170 PS; 168 bhp) at 4,200 revolutions per minute (rpm) and torque of 350 newton meters (258 lbf • ft) at 1,750 to 2,500 rpm. These include a six-speed manual transmission. Acceleration from rest to 100 kilometers per hour (62.1 mph) on the Coupé reached in 7.5 seconds, and it will go on to reach a top speed of 226 kilometers per hour (140.4 mph). The slightly less aerodynamically efficient Roadster reaches 100 km / h in 7.7 seconds, with a top speed of 223 kilometers per hour (138.6 mph).

Audi claims fuel consumption average for this variant of the Coupé 2.0 TDI engine is 5.3 liters per 100 kilometers (53.3 mpg -imp; 44.4 mpg-US), which reached the CO 2. Ranked emissions of 139 g / km The Roadster TDI achieved an average of 5.5 liters per 100 kilometers. (51.4 mpg -imp; 42.8 mpg-US) and CO 2 of 144 g / km
TTS

TTS Coupé

In 2008 North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) in Detroit, Audi released the first Audi "S" models of the range TT - Audi TTS quattro ,. weighing revised 2.0 TFSI engine The cylinder block, cylinder head and fuel injection have all been modified from the base 2.0 TFSI (ID: CDL). Together with other modifications, this engine produces DIN-rated motive force output of 200 kilowatts (272 PS; 268 bhp), [26] and produce torque changing the strength of 350 newton meters (258 lbf • ft) from 2,500 to 5,000 rpm.

Under the hood with the engine TFSI TTS Roadster

2. Audi Q7




2016 Audi Q7

Lightweight and lead the way for the entire VW Group.

• May 2015
• With Jens Meiners
• 3949S 3949S
• 246S 246S

Audi has had plenty of time to get this one right: the four rings brand engineering team began work on the second generation of the Q7 SUV as early as 2009. And even then, the original four-year-old. Shown first as a concept of Pikes Peak in January 2003, the production version bowed in 2005.
There are legitimate reasons why it took Audi six years to get a replacement market. During that period, Audi development chief switch twice, and in both cases the car was completely re-examined. In addition, the new 2016 Audi Q7 is a pilot vehicle for MLB second generation architecture, which is very important for the VW Group-serves as the foundation for many future models of Audi, VW, Bentley and Porsche. "The new Q7 need to make a clean production launch," said R & D chief Ulrich Hackenberg. And there is another explanation: With more than 500,000 units sold worldwide, the previous model has been so successful that the Audi no big rush to replace it.

Big Weight Savings, Still Just Plain Big
Given the success of the second generation Q7 does not need to convey a false sense of decency, and no. The new version is one of the SUV more aggressive look on the road. On paper, it's a little smaller than previous models-and in fact, it has lost several inches. But it was more than offset by the luxurious new grille and fender-shaped box, which should offend legendary Audi Quattro coupe. Silver decorative trim on the sides of the lower failed to cut off part of the visual, and, as before, Q7 looks best with an optional extralarge 20- or 21-inch wheels.

Judging from appearances, it is difficult to believe that more than 700 pounds has been cut-per-Audi Q7 in the transition from the old to the new. Whatever the real world weight loss works out to be, sveltening is the result of a change of the off-road platform centric previous models for one along with actual passenger cars. Axle just said shaved a whopping 148 pounds, and make liberal use of aluminum body. You can read more about weight-saving measures here.

Q7 light more efficiently, and drinking habits which have become much more socially acceptable. The US market gets a 3.0-liter TDI with 272 horsepower, and the 3.0-liter supercharged V-6 with 333 horsepower. Both engines have their strong points. After diesel has moved beyond the initial turbo lag and up to 1,500 rpm or higher, it rose a massive, wave 443-lb-ft of torque. However ZF-sourced eight-speed automatic helps reduce any dawdling low-end with his adept gear selection. Soundtrack diesel is muted, and it gives strength to the quiet growl. Zero to 60 mph appears in about six seconds, and the European model tops out at 145 mph. The images on the achievement of something like 32 mpg on the highway, too.

Fuel consumption is a major weakness of the supercharged V-6; we seek it will manage the EPA numbers of possible 18 in the city and 27 mpg highway. The figures work well for the US, though, where the economy is actually not so bad and gas is much cheaper than in Europe. Gasoline V-6 offers a lightning-fast response over a far wider rev band than diesel. With this engine, the Q7 invites its driver to hustle windy road nearby. Truly.

Yes, the new Q7 like curves. Our test sample is equipped with adaptive air suspension, and we can confirm that it is not only convenient, but also that it can provide a clear sporty driving character. Soft and comfortable in Efficiency, Comfort, and Auto mode, it shows the fun side in Dynamic mode clearly delineated. And Q7 will be better with an optional system of four-wheel-steering, which improve stability at highway speeds while reducing the turning circle in the city. All-wheel drive is standard; default torque split biased slightly behind in 40:60, but can shift as much as 70 percent at 85 percent to the front or rear. Two off-road mode helps Q7 far beyond the lines, and ground clearance can be increased to 9.6 inches. There is no low-range transfer case, however.

Elegant and Stylish Interior Audi-Imagine That
From the driver's seat, Q7 emerged as a leader of design. The interior is very contemporary, functional, and aesthetic that might set a new class benchmark. We love the design and feel of the TFT instrument cluster, which corresponds to similar systems in the new TT and R8, especially since it was coupled with the traditional display in the dashboard. The user interface is intuitive and fast, despite the cluster display provides so much information and functionality, it is hard not to worry about it being a bit of a nuisance. The driver and passengers enjoy plenty of comfort and space, and even an optional third-row seat that is wide enough, although the entry and exit to wayback is a hassle. Incidentally, the Q7 is so quiet that the stereo system really shines. We found the Bose sound package is more than enough, enough so that we would have missed a lot more expensive Bang & Olufsen system.

Q7 is equipped with a number of electronic nanny, sensors, and technology, which can be interpreted as a major step toward autonomous driving. They include brake-based torque vectoring; Traffic Jam Assist, which can essentially move the Q7 on the highway at speeds up to 40 mph; trailering assistant who will back up and steer the trailer for you; and the latest version of things like lane departure warning and assist, blind-spot monitoring, automatic braking, and adaptive cruise control. Furthermore, the Audi Q7 say soon will add the ability to steer around obstacles on the road and brakes the car if you make a left turn which will generate a collision with traffic. (Volvo will also offer the latest technology on the new XC90.) There is also an assistant efficiency that keeps telling you to drive with a lighter right foot. We rarely meet his wishes.

While the Q7 has taken a big step forward, things will be very crowded at the top of the SUV segment, with entries coming from Bentley, Rolls-Royce, and even Mercedes-Maybach. To stay in a very lucrative game-and to maintain the previous owner V-8 and V-12 Audi TDI versions will launch a gasoline engine TDI turbo V-8, V-8, and perhaps even W-12 gasoline turbo engine. Before that, however, we will look at the model of the e-tron plug-in hybrid. (Audi has yet to decide whether to bring Americans before detailed 3.0 V-6 diesel e-tron, a 2.0-liter turbo four is scheduled for our market sometime in 2016.) The 3.0 TDI and 3.0 TFSI will come to the US later in 2015 as a model in 2016, with prices starting around $ 50K.

After this initial trip, it seems like a long gestation Q7 is the time spent and well-worth waiting SUV.

Summary
Q7 (internally designated Typ 4L) uses a modified version of the Volkswagen Group PL71 platform. First by the Audi Pikes Peak quattro concept car, the Q7 is designed more for on-road, and is not intended for serious off-road use where the transfer case is required. In an off road test through the Australian outback it fared well for a "soft roader", [citation needed ]. [6] Although it does not have a low-range transfer case, it has quattro permanent four-wheel drive system with locking center differential, and self-leveling air suspension with Continuous Damping Control, called the adaptive air suspension, which is helpful in off-road situations. Construction began in 2002 under the code AU 716, mainly focused on Pikes Peak Concept. Design work is suspended for the concept in July 2002, for presentation at the North American International Auto Show in January 2003. After the introduction of the concept, full-scale development began in Typ 4L of PL71 platform. Production design frozen in late 2003, for a late 2005 start of production. Prototypes went into testing in December 2004, with a cover construction in mid-2005.

The second generation Audi Q7 was unveiled in January 2015 at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit. [32] Diesel and gasoline-powered versions will be released to retail sales in 2015, followed immediately by a diesel plug-in hybrid variant, which will be sold in Europe and the United States [33] plug-in hybrid, called the Q7 e-tron, which is powered by a V6 3.0TDI diesel engine mated to two electric motors, one placed in the gearbox, and the other on the rear axle to provide a total of 373hp and 700nm of torque, four-wheel drive. The motors are powered by a 17.3 kWh lithium-ion battery is expected to deliver a wide range of all-electric from 56 km (35 miles), CO 2 emissions of 50g / km and fuel consumption of 1.7 l / 100km (170 mpg -imp ; 140 mpg-US) under the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC). [34]
Audi recently announced Q7 TFSI e-tron at the 2015 Shanghai Motor Show, which was developed specifically for the Asian market (China, South Korea, Singapore and Japan). Its 2.0 TFSI and electric motor delivers 270 kW (367 hp) and 700 Nm (516.3 pounds-ft) of torque system - enough to accelerate from 0 to 100 km / h (62.1 mph) in 5.9 seconds and to a top speed of 220 km / h (136.7 mph). Standard consumption of 2.5 liters of fuel (94.1 mpg US) in accordance with CO2 emissions of less than 60 grams per kilometer (96.6 g / mi). All-electric range will be up to 53 kilometers (32.9 miles). [35] [36]
World first innovations
Q7 is the first Audi SUV using very-high-speed fiber optic data bus FlexRay technology, which interconnects all of the electrical system / electronics, especially the latest generation Multi Media Interface, Adaptive Air Suspension, and a lot of new driver assistance systems, as all these require data very high bit rate. [37] [38] The Q7 features up to four Nvidia Tegra processor. [39]
• Efficiency Prediction Assistant using route data from the navigation system to alert the driver situation where it would make sense to reduce the speed, such as before the curve, city or speed limit signs are not yet visible. Working closely with the adaptive cruise control (ACC) and traffic sign recognition, the system adjusts the speed of the previously selected route and speed limits. Assistant predictive efficiency, which can also take over control predictive of the free-wheeling function of the eight-speed tiptronic, has the potential to reduce fuel consumption on the highway as much as ten percent.
• Turn Assistant oppose monitor traffic when turning left at a low speed. In critical situations, the car brakes.
• Exit Warning System shows the vehicle or cyclist approaching from behind before the doors opened.
New features for Audi
• Avoidance Assistant intervene in the steering wheel to help the driver avoid obstacles.
• Adaptive cruise control ACC stop & go now including congestion assistant, who took over the helm at the highway ahead if traffic was heavy and did not move faster than 65 km / h (40.4 mph).
• multicollision brake assist system uses controlled braking maneuver for the accident to help the driver.
• Modular Infotainment Matrix (MIB) with NVIDIA T30 processor
• MMI all-in-touch

• State of the art digital LED Matrix controlled adaptive Highbeam non-glare multi-LED headlights. The Highbeam comprises 25 individual light-emitting diodes per unit that can be turned on and off or dimmed individually depending on the situation. This enables very precise light system reacts to other vehicles while always brightly illuminate the road. Additional features of the new lights is a smart cornering light, the new-look daytime running lights and turn signal dynamic. The lighting system uses predictive route data from the navigation system to regulate the distribution of light in response to the current driving situation. In combination with the optional Navigation plus with MMI touch, the system recognizes the data contained in the navigation system, such as curves and the classification of the road.

A6 allroad quattro (2012-present)


Audi A6 allroad quattro

2013 A6 allroad quattro launched in 2012 Geneva Motor Show, along with the 2012 RS4 Avant. Sales started in 2012. The first shipment arrived in England in July 2012.
Model allroad contains several unique features. Audi designed more than 1,100, a new unique parts for allroad, setting apart from the standard A6 and create a true all-terrain vehicle. Most obviously, allroad receive special bumper and fender flares, giving the appearance of aggressive offroad. Bumper and fender flares tough wearing feature, matte finish, contrasting the rest of the body. This layer receives the same roof, as well as four longitudinal ribs to increase the strength. Unique bumper also has an integrated aluminum skid plate. Allroad showing the tire diameter is larger than the standard A6 to improve off-road capability. Redesigned lamps, mirrors the larger side, and the lack of doors "rub strip" that is unique to the allroad.

Allroad comes standard with adjustable air suspension system can lift the car high enough to provide a 208 mm (8 in) of ground clearance; low-range mode (option with manual transmission), absent from other vehicles equipped with quattro, can be selected with the touch of a button. When used together, the two systems allows for the allroad to complete an official Land Rover test-course, so far as it is the only car-based SUV that has proved able to do in testing.

Conversely, the air suspension can lower the vehicle down to just 142 mm (6 in) above street level, and at the same stiff spring rates and dampers to provide a sporty driving experience, such as that of the conventional A6 with the sports suspension.

German model went on sale in spring 2012. The early models including the 3.0 TFSI quattro (310PS), 3.0 TDI quattro (204PS), 3.0 TDI quattro (245PS), 3.0 TDI quattro (313PS).

A6 L (2012-)

2016 Audi A6

Repairs important for a leader of luxury-sedan.
• October 2014
• With Jens Meiners
• 3949S 3949S
• 238S 238S

When we first saw the pictures face-lifted 2016 Audi A6, we were immediately thrilled. One of the more conservative brand design appears to have received a lukewarm makeover for styling has been used since the current generation arrived as a 2012 model Yes, flowing lines A6 is popular with customers, but to our eyes they always lacked tension, falling just short of the standard Audi. There is a bit of elegance in the details; LED lights are a bit rough, overbite of the rear lights truly bizarre.
Audi has cleared these details, adding rectangular exhaust outlets, and leave the rest alone. Now after seeing the revised car in person, we were pleasantly surprised. Inner lamps smooth handsome, lower front air intakes look better resolved, and neatly integrated rear lights. Audi has also added some new, more attractive wheel styles. Without touching the sheetmetal, the designers create a more elegant shape somewhat stale. More importantly, the update is in the middle of this semester, improving one of our favorite sedans (has notched three 10Best appearance comparison test and the last two victories) significantly.

Our first drive in Germany showed that, dynamic, A6 remains much as it was, finely chiseled road machines that can reward the driver in the back lane favorite or take the company out for a night on the town in style and comfort. It is a powertrain upgrade that enhances the car game to match the appearance of the rack.

Hotter Cooking With Gas

As before, the A6 will offer three engine options in the United States: 2.0-liter four-banger turbo, 3.0-liter V-6 TDI and 3.0-liter supercharged V-6. TDI, was introduced to this market for 2014, is the only one that carries over unchanged; 240-hp oil burner continues to encourage all the wheels through an eight-speed, torque-converter-style automatic. TDI is stocky with strong 428 pounds-feet of torque is the powertrain of choice for those who want to enjoy the efficiency hybridlike without the extra weight and complexity. (An A6 hybrid, never exported to the United States, just killed because sales were very poor.)

Entry-level 2.0-liter model receives major hardware upgrades. Previous rated at 220 horsepower and was initially made available as a front-driver course, it comes with a CVT, dubbed "Multitronic." Now, it gets a boost to 252 horsepower and the addition of an automatic transmission seven-speed dual-clutch for front-drive models. We wholeheartedly commend this step; we will take a sharp shift from the 'dual-clutch box or even right over the effects of the CVT automatic rubber-band every day. Advantages of electricity also benefits buyers who choose the option Quattro all-wheel-drive, in this case the stake 2.0T to an eight-speed automatic because since Audi added to the range in 2012.

While four now offers enough power for most settings racetrack side, the smooth 3.0-liter V-6 is more fun. This powerplant gains 20 horsepower and is now up to 330. It makes all the wheels and employ the same eight-speed automatic as TDI. Superchargers provide instant boost but so quiet that its presence is almost undetectable, except to generate thrust it all out of proportion to what you would expect. We think that Jaguar, one of several other car makers who still swear by the supercharger-might want to take a lesson from the book Audi quality, comfort, and voice control.

First-Class Accommodations

Even Jaguar-in addition to the other car would be advised to check out the A6's interior. It is still one of the best and most executed cabin in the industry. The similarity to the A7 dashboard (with which it shares a majority portion) cleverly covered by a different decoration. We only have one significant complaint with the interior of this: The awkward integration of dashboard-up system optional head-up looks terrible. We believe that the lump tumorlike will be corrected for future model generations, but it must be done right the first time.

While we are at it, perhaps we asked Audi to have up to another mistake? Please bring back America to the Avant wagon models. Especially RS6 Avant, intermediate wagon with 560 horsepower and a top speed of 190 mph-. Audi has already sent us drivetrain in the RS7, so let no parts-supply or federalization of reasons. Do it. Meanwhile, good job on the base sedan. It is time.

A4 is not the newest, most up-to-date entered in his class, but still serious contenders worthy of your consideration. Its 2.0-liter turbo four makes 220 hp; a six-speed manual and eight-speed automatic is available with models of all-wheel-drive. Avoid CVT, which is paired only with a model of front-wheel-drive. Tasteful and refined styling both inside and out. We admire the powertrain and tranquility; safe handling and stable over time. The all-new A4 will come out in early 2016.

2017 Audi A4: Less Weight, More Elegant Interior
Evolution, retro and futuristic at the same time.

Yes, the all-new Audi A4 Audi obvious. The new model, the ninth iteration of a line of vehicles has also been known as the Audi 80, Audi Fox, and the Audi 4000, has been moved to a modular-architecture extends Volkswagen Group MLB Evo, but still similar to the model- out at least at first glance.

It is true that the MLB Evo is not entirely new, which is an evolution of the components of the set, which was launched under the current Audi A5 coupe in 2007. But the result is a leap forward. Depending on the engine under his hood-powertrain lineup looks pretty competitive-new A4 say up to 265 pounds lighter than its predecessor, and the car will be available with almost every system of assistance and electronic gadgets that made its debut in the bigger and pricier all-new Q7 SUV ,

In the US market, the new A4 will start with three 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine. TFSI petrol engine will be available in 190-hp / 236-lb-ft or 252-hp iteration / 273-lb-ft, while the TDI diesel that is available makes the same 190 horsepower with a gas engine basis but musters 295 lb-ft of torque. Output shuttled to the wheels via Audi's seven-speed dual-clutch automatic. (There is no mention of the availability of a manual transmission for the US at a preview event, but the six-speed unit can be offered.) As you might expect, the A4 can be specified with front-wheel drive or Quattro all-wheel drive; we hope Quattro become standard with powerful gas and diesel engines. If you are wondering where the top contenders BMW 3-series model in all of this, wait for the new S4-apple-to-apple cars for 2016 320-hp 340i.

In terms of construction, materials A4 adopted a milder than perhaps any other car in the segment and their office number on it. For example, some steering and transmission components and rear-seat structures made of magnesium, while the front and multilink rear suspension setup incorporates a large number of aluminum.

A4 exterior advantages, TT-inspired low and aggressive front end; a well integrated clamshell-view hood; and altogether more contemporary appearance and a more angular. Bixenon standard lamps, and LED units of the optional; rear lights come in two versions, one with and one with conventional lamp LEDs. In our brief exposure to the car in person, we were struck by the attention to detail. Style exterior door grip handles, for example, slight upward swing when pulled, to provide a more intuitive and natural movement.

While the exterior is fresh but evolution, interior revelation. It is more spacious than before, with plenty of space behind the seats even when the front seat far back on their way. But the driver's area that will win you over. Next to the elegant cabin of the C-class Mercedes-Benz and a truly conservative in the BMW 3-series, the new A4 style is totally futuristic. Horizontal lines dominate, to the thin air vents that span the entire width of the dash panel.

For the center-stack screen infotainment, the Audi jump adopt motorized actions of a few new cars that are more supportive view remains. (The outgoing A4 long enough that the screen is fixed, too.) This step cost savings compared with electric-powered screen in A3 and A6, but the execution is very precise and contemporary that no one will lose whiz-bang watching hike on the startup screen. The main instrumentation equipped with conventional, analog gauges, or one can opt for large TFT screen. Cadillac offers the same technology in the ATS, but the execution is much better than the Audi in terms of styling, graphics, and layout.

Perhaps the coolest thing about A4: Interior actual futuristic retro. Full-width air vents are lifted straight from C2-generation Audi 100/5000, a big seller for the company in late 1970. And its automatic air conditioner with a touch-sensitive, metal buttons-is designed to call to mind the car-stereo system in 1970 aftermarket ,

Audi will launch the new A4 sedan in the US early next year; it will be joined by an Allroad version of the station wagon shortly thereafter. As before, there will be three levels of equipment: Premium, Premium Plus and Prestige. The above-generation S4 is due at the end of 2016 and will continue its supercharged 3.0-liter V-6, and there is the possibility that the next RS4-packing possibility twin-turbo V-6 will be offered in the United States, as well. So while this impressive new A4, Audi has just begun.

Audi

Audi AG (pronounced [ʔaʊ̯diː ʔaːgeː] is a German automobile manufacturer that designs, engineers, manufactures, markets and distributes luxury cars. Audi oversees worldwide operations from its headquarters in Ingolstadt, Bavaria, Germany. Audi-brand vehicles manufactured in nine facilities worldwide production.

Audi has become majority owned (99.55%) subsidiary of the Volkswagen Group since 1966, following the gradual purchase of Audi AG predecessor, Auto Union, from Daimler-Benz. Volkswagen relaunched the Audi brand with the 1965 introduction of the Audi F103 series.
The name of the company is based on the Latin translation of his surname founder, August Horch. "Horch", which means "listen" in Germany, became "Audi" in Latin. The four rings of the Audi logo each representing one of the four car companies that banded together to create the predecessor company Audi, Auto Union. Is the slogan Vorsprung durch Technik Audi, which means "Progress through Technology". However, since 2007 Audi USA has used the slogan "Truth Techniques". Audi is a member of the car "German Big 3" luxury, along with BMW and Mercedes-Benz, which is a three-selling luxury car in the world. 

Audi History

The birth of the company and its name
Initially in 1885, the car company Wanderer established, then became a branch of Audi AG. Other company, NSU, which also later merged into the Audi, founded during this time, and then supplying chassis to Gottlieb Daimler's four-wheeler.

On November 14, 1899, the August Horch (1868-1951) established the company A. Horch & Cie. In the Ehrenfeld district of Cologne. Three years later in 1902 he moved with the company to Reichenbach im Vogtland. In May, 10 1904 he founded August Horch & Cie Motorwagenwerke AG, a joint stock company in. Zwickau (Saxony State).

After problems with financial director Horch August Horch left Motorwagenwerke and was founded in Zwickau on July 16, 1909, a second company, August Horch Automobilwerke GmbH. Former partner sued him for trademark infringement. Germany Reichsgericht (Supreme Court) in Leipzig, finally determined that the Horch brand belonged to the former company.

Audi Type E

Since August Horch prohibited from using "Horch" as a trade name in the new car business, he held a meeting with business friends close, Paul and Franz Fikentscher from Zwickau, Germany. In the apartment of Franz Fikentscher they discussed how to come up with a new name for the company. In this meeting, Franz son was quietly studying Latin in a corner of the room. Several times he looked like he was on the verge of saying something but would just swallow his words and continue working, until finally she exclaimed, "Father - audiatur et Altera pars ... would not it be a good idea to call it audi instead Horch?" "Horch ! " in German means "Hark!" or "listen", which is "Audi" in the imperative form a single "audire" - "to listen" - in Latin. The idea was enthusiastically received by all those present. On 25 April 1910 Audi Automobilwerke Zwickau GmbH (from 1915 on Audiwerke AG Zwickau) in the list of companies Zwickau registration court.

Audi 80 assembly line in Wolfsburg in 1973


In 1969, Auto Union merged with NSU, based in Neckarsulm, near Stuttgart. In 1950, NSU was the largest manufacturer of motorcycles in the world, but has moved on to produce small cars like the NSU Prinz, the TT and TTS versions are still popular as vintage race cars. NSU then focused on new rotary engines based on the ideas of Felix Wankel. In 1967, the new NSU Ro 80 was a car well ahead of its time in technical details such as aerodynamics, light weight, and safety. However, teething problems with the rotary engines put an end to the independence of NSU. The Neckarsulm plant is now used to produce the larger Audi models A6 and A8. The Neckarsulm factory is also home of the quattro GmbH, a subsidiary which is responsible for the development and production of high-performance models Audi: the R8 and the "RS" model range.



Midsize car that NSU had been working on, the K70, was intended to slot between the rear-engined Prinz models and the futuristic NSU Ro 80. However, Volkswagen took the K70 for its own range, spelling the end of NSU as a separate brand.



Audi Quattro


In 1986, as the Passat-based Audi 80 began to develop a kind of "grandfather's car" image, the type 89 was introduced. Completely new development sold extremely well. However, modern and dynamic exterior belied the low performance machine base, and the base package is quite simple (even the passenger-side mirror is optional.) In 1987, Audi put forward a new and very elegant Audi 90, which has a much superior set of standard features. In the early 1990s, sales began to slump for the Audi 80 series, and some basic construction problems started to surface.

In the early part of the 21st century, Audi set at the German racetrack to claim and maintain several world records, such as high speed endurance. This effort was in-line with the company's heritage from the 1930s racing era Silver Arrows.

Through the early 1990s, Audi began to shift the target market upscale to compete with the German automaker Mercedes-Benz and BMW. It started with the release of the Audi V8 in 1990. It was essentially a new engine fitted to the Audi 100/200, but with different bodywork visible. The most obvious is the new grille that is now incorporated in the bonnet.

In 1991, Audi has a four-cylinder Audi 80, the 5-cylinder Audi 90 and Audi 100, the turbocharged Audi 200 and the Audi V8. There is also a coupe version of the 80/90 with both engines 4 and 5-cylinder.

Although the five cylinder engine was a successful and robust powerplant, it was still a little too different for the target market. With the introduction of the all new Audi 100 in 1992, Audi introduced a 2.8L V6. This machine is also equipped with a face-lifted Audi 80 (all 80 and 90 models were now badged 80 except the United States), giving this model a choice of four, five, and six-cylinder engines, in the Saloon, Coupé and Cabriolet body styles.

Five cylinders soon dropped as a major engine choice; However, a turbocharged 230 hp (170 kW) version remained. Engine, originally installed on the 200 quattro 20V of 1991, is a derivative of the engine fitted to the Sport Quattro. It is equipped with the Audi Coupé, and named the S2 and also to the Audi 100 body, and named the S4. Both models are beginning to be mass produced S series of performance cars.

Audi 5000 unintended acceleration allegations


Sales in the US fell after a series of withdrawals 1982-1987 of Audi 5000 models associated with incidents reported unintended acceleration suddenly linked with six deaths and 700 accidents. At the time, NHTSA was investigating 50 car models from 20 manufacturers for sudden surges of electricity.

A 60-minute report aired 23 November 1986, featuring interviews with six people who sued Audi after reporting unintended acceleration, showing Audi 5000 as if suffering from a problem when the brake pedal is pushed. Subsequent investigation revealed 60 Minutes had engineered the failure -. compressed air tube fitting on the passenger side floor, linked via a hose into a hole drilled into the transmission


Audi 100 C3, sold as the Audi 5000 in the US


Audi believes, before the findings by outside investigators, that the problems caused by driver error, specifically pedal abuse. Furthermore, the Administration Highway Traffic Safety Agency (NHTSA) concluded that most cases of unintended acceleration, including all those who requested the report 60 Minutes, which are caused by driver error such as confusion pedal. CBS did not recognize the results of a test of the government agencies involved, but did not recognize the same results from other studies.

In a study published in the 2012 review, NHTSA summarized the findings of the past on the subject of unwanted acceleration Audi: "After the unintended acceleration has started, in the Audi 5000, due to a failure in the system idle-stabilizer (generate initial acceleration of 0.3 g), pedal abuse as a result of panic, confusion or unfamiliarity with the Audi 5000 contributed to the severity of the incident. "

This summary is consistent with the conclusions of the technical analysis of the most NHTSA at the time: "idle-stabilization system Audi is vulnerable to defects that result in excessive idle speed and short unexpected acceleration up to 0.3g [similar magnitude to emergency stop in a train car underground]. This acceleration can not be the sole cause [(long) sudden acceleration incidents (SAI)], but may have triggered some surprising SAI by the driver. The system idle-stabilization disabilities do the type of electronic throttle controls several significant :. " , intermittent malfunctions of the electronic control unit is observed and recorded ... and [also observed and] reported by Transport Canada "

With the series of recall campaigns, Audi made several modifications; The first adjustable distance between the brake and the accelerator pedal on automatic transmission models. Later repairs, of 250,000 cars dating back to 1978, adding a device that requires the driver to press the brake pedal before shifting out of park. A legacy of the Audi 5000 and other reported cases of unintended acceleration suddenly intricate gear stick patterns and brake interlock mechanisms to prevent accidentally shifting into forward or reverse. It is not clear how the defect in the idle-stabilization system were addressed.

US sales of Audi, which has reached 74 061 in 1985, fell to 12 283 in 1991 and remained level for three years. -. the resale value falls dramatically Audi subsequently offered increased protection warranty and renamed the affected models - by 5000 to 100 and 200 in 1989 - and only reached the same sales level again with the 2000 model year.

A 2010 BusinessWeek article - outlining possible parallels between Audi's experience and 2009-2010 Toyota vehicle recalls - noted the class action lawsuit filed in 1987 by about 7,500 owners of 5000 models Audi remains unsettled and is currently being contested in court in Chicago after appeal Illinois state and US federal level.

Model introduction



Audi TT


In the mid-to-late 1990s, Audi introduced new technologies including the use of aluminum construction. Produced 1999-2005, the Audi A2 was a futuristic super mini born from the Al2 concept, with many features that help regain consumer confidence, such as aluminum space frame, which is the first in a production car design. In the A2 Audi further expanded their TDI technology through the use of frugal three-cylinder engine. A2 is very aerodynamic and was designed around a wind tunnel. Audi A2 was criticized because of the high price and was never really successful sales but it planted Audi as a cutting-edge manufacturer. The model, a Mercedes-Benz A-Class competitor, sold relatively well in Europe. However, the A2 was discontinued in 2005 and Audi decided not to develop a direct replacement.

The next major model change came in 1995 when the Audi A4 replaced the Audi 80. The new nomenclature scheme was applied to the Audi 100 to the Audi A6 (with a minor facelift). This also meant the S4 became the S6 and a new S4 was introduced in the A4 body. S2 is stopped. The Audi Cabriolet continued (based on the Audi 80 platform) until 1999, gaining the engine upgrades along the way. A new A3 hatchback model (sharing the Volkswagen Golf Mk4's platform) was introduced to the range in 1996, and the radical Audi TT coupe and roadster were debuted in 1998 based on the same foundation.

The engine is available in the entire range is now to 1.4 L, 1.6 L and 1.8 L four-cylinder, 1.8 L four-cylinder turbo, 2.6 L and 2.8 L V6, 2.2 L turbo-charged five-cylinder and 4.2 L V8 engine. The V6s were replaced by a new 2.4 L and 2.8 L 30V V6s in 1998, with a noticeable increase in the power, torque and smoothness. Further machines are added along the way, including a 3.7 L V8 and 6.0 L W12 engine for the A8.

Audi Q7

Audi sales grew strongly in the 2000s, with deliveries to customers increased from 653,000 in 2000 to 1.003 million in 2008. The largest sales increases came from Eastern Europe (+ 19.3%), Africa (+ 17.2 %) and the Middle East (+ 58.5%). China in particular has become a major market, which represents 108,000 of the 705 000 cars delivered in the first three quarters of 2009. One of the factors for the popularity in China that Audi has become the car of choice for the purchase by the Chinese government for the officials, and the purchase by the government is responsible for 20% of sales in China. At the end of 2009, Audi's operating profit of € 1.17 billion ($ 1.85 billion) making it the biggest contributor to the nine months of parent Volkswagen Group's operating profit amounted to € 1.5 billion, while other marques such as Bentley and SEAT Group has suffered a loss which is quite large. [40] May 2011 saw record sales for Audi of America with the new Audi A7 and Audi A3 TDI Clean Diesel. [41] In May 2012, Audi reported a 10% increase in sales-from 408 units to 480 in the last year alone his.

Audi produces vehicles in seven factories around the world, some of which are shared with other marques VW Group despite numerous sub-assemblies such as engines and transmissions produced in the Volkswagen Group's other plants.

Audi's two main assembly plants are:

• Ingolstadt, opened by Auto Union in 1964, (A3, A4, A5, Q5)
• Neckarsulm, Retrieved from NSU in 1969 (A4, A6, A7, A8, R8 and all RS variants)
Outside Germany, the Audi produces vehicles in:
• Aurangabad, India since 2006
• Bratislava, Slovakia, along with Volkswagen, SEAT, Skoda and Porsche (Q7)
• Brussels, Belgium, was obtained from Volkswagen in 2007 (A1)
• Changchun, China since 1995
• Győr, Hungary, (TT and several variants A3)
• Jakarta, Indonesia since 2011
• Martorell, Spain together with SEAT and Volkswagen (Q3)

In September 2012, Audi announced the construction of its first manufacturing plant in North America in Puebla, Mexico. The plant is expected to be operating in 2016 and produce a second generation Q5.

From 2002 to 2003, Audi heads the Audi Brand Group, a division of Volkswagen Group's Automotive Division is comprised of Audi, Lamborghini and SEAT, which focuses on the values ​​of sportiness, with Marques product vehicles and performance being under the higher responsibility Audi brand.

In 2014, the majority of Audi dealerships in the UK falsely claimed that the Audi A7, A8, and R8 are secure Euro NCAP tested, all reached five out of five stars. There is not even tested.

Technology

Bodyshells

Audi produces 100% galvanized cars to prevent corrosion, and the first mass-market vehicle to do so, following the introduction of the process by Porsche, c. 1975. Along with other preventive measures, the whole body zinc coating has proved highly effective in preventing rust. Endurance, so even surpassed Audi's own expectations, causing the manufacturer to extend its original 10-year warranty against corrosion perforation to currently 12 years (except for aluminum bodies which do not rust).

Space frame


Audi R8 Audi Space Frame technology

Audi introduced a new series of vehicles in the mid-1990s and continues to pursue new technology and high performance. An all-aluminum car was brought forward by Audi, and in 1994 the Audi A8 was launched, which introduced aluminum space frame technology (called Audi Space Frame or ASF) which saves weight and increases stiffness torque compared with a conventional steel frame. Prior to that effort, Audi used examples of Type 44 chassis is made of aluminum as test-beds for the technique. The disadvantage of the aluminum frame which is very expensive to repair and require special aluminum bodyshop. Weight loss somewhat offset by the quattro four-wheel drive system is standard in most markets. However, the A8 is usually a mild all-wheel drive car in the full-size luxury segment, also has best-in-class fuel economy. The Audi A2, Audi TT and Audi R8 also use Audi Space Frame designs.


Audi A4

For most of the lineup (not including the A3, A1 and TT models), Audi has not adopted a transverse engine layout that is usually found in the car economy (such as Peugeot and Citroën), because it would limit the type and strength of machines that can be installed. To be able to mount a powerful engine (such as the V8 engine in the Audi S4 and the Audi RS4 and W12 engine in the Audi A8L W12), Audi has engineered usually more expensive car with front-mounted longitudinal engine, in "overhung" position, over the wheel in front of the front axle line. While this allows for easy adoption of all-wheel drive, it goes against the ideal 50:50 weight distribution.

In all his posts -era Volkswagen models, Audi has firmly refused to adopt the traditional rear-wheel drive layout favored by its two rivals Mercedes-Benz and BMW, supports both front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. The majority of Audi in the US lineup features all-wheel drive standard on most vehicles are expensive (only the entry-level trim of the A4 and A6 are available with front-wheel drive), in contrast to Mercedes-Benz and BMW all-wheel lineup treats drive as an option. BMW does not offer all-wheel drive V8-powered car of his (as opposed to a crossover SUV) through 2010 BMW 7 Series and 2011 BMW 5 Series, while the Audi A8 has all-wheel drive is available / standard since the 1990s. Regarding the high-performance variant, Audi S and RS models always have all-wheel drive, unlike their direct rivals from BMW M and Mercedes-AMG is the car that rear-wheel drive alone (even though their performance crossover SUV all-wheel drive).

Audi has recently implemented a quattro badge to models such as the A3 and TT which do not use the Torsen-based system as in previous years with a mechanical center differential, but with Haldex Traction AWD system is an electro-mechanical clutch.

Machine


Volkswagen Group W12 engine from Volkswagen Phaeton W12
In the 1980s, Audi, along with Volvo, was the champion of the inline-five-cylinder, 2.1 L / 2.2 machine as a durable alternative to the more traditional six-cylinder engine. This machine is used not only in production cars but also in their race cars. 2.1 L inline five-cylinder engine is used as a base for the rally cars in 1980, providing more than 400 horsepower (300 kilowatts) after modification. Before 1990, there were engines produced with a displacement between 2.0 L and 2.3 L. The wide range of engine capacity allowed for both fuel economy and electricity.

For the ultra-luxury version of its Audi A8 fullsize luxury sedan flagship, the Audi A8L W12, using Volkswagen Audi Group W12 engine instead of a conventional V12 engine favored by rivals Mercedes-Benz and BMW.Konfigurasi W12 engine (also known as the "WR12") made by forming two imaginary narrow angle 15 ° VR6 engine at an angle of 72 °, and the narrow angle of each set of cylinders allows just two overhead camshafts to drive each pair of banks, so only four are needed in total. Advantages of the W12 engine is compact packaging, allowing Audi to build a 12-cylinder sedan with all-wheel drive, while the conventional V12 engine could only have rear-wheel drive configuration as it would not have space in the engine bay for differential and other components necessary for power the front wheels. In fact, W12 6.0 L The Audi A8L W12 is smaller in overall dimensions of 4.2 L V8 that powers the Audi A8 4.2 variants. The 2011 Audi A8 debuted a revised version of the 6.3-liter W12 (WR12) engine with 500 PS (370 kW; 490 hp).

Fuel Stratified Injection

New models of the A3, A4, A6 and A8 have been introduced, with the aging 1.8-liter engine now having been replaced by new Fuel Stratified Injection (FSI) engines. Almost every oil burning models in the range now incorporates this fuel-saving technology.

FSI V8 engine

Direct-Shift Gearbox

At the turn of the century, Volkswagen introduced the Direct-Shift Gearbox (DSG), a type of dual clutch transmission. This is an automatic semi-automatic transmission, drivable like a conventional automatic transmission. Based on the gearbox found in the Group B S1, the system includes dual electrohydraulically controlled clutches instead of a torque converter. It is applied in some VW Golfs, Audi A3, Audi A4 and TT models where DSG is called S-tronic.

LED daytime running lights

Started in 2005, Audi has implemented white LED technology as daytime running lights (DRL) in their products. Typical forms of DLR has become a trademark of sorts. LEDs were first introduced on the Audi A8 W12, the first production car in the world has LED DLR, [52] [53] [54] and has since spread across the model range. LEDs present on some Audi billboard.
Since 2010, Audi also offers LED technology in low and high beam lights.

The DRL in a Audi A4 B8


Multi Media Interface


Multi Media Interface-menu in the virtual cockpit of the Audi, Audi TT Mk3
Starting with the 2003 Audi A8, Audi has been using a centralized control interface for on-board infotainment system, called Multi Media Interface (MMI). It comes amid criticism of BMW iDrive control. It is essentially a rotating control knob and 'segment' buttons - designed to control all in-car entertainment devices (radio, CD changer, iPod, TV tuner), satellite navigation, heating and ventilation, and other car controls with a screen. MMI was widely reported considerable improvement on BMW's iDrive, although BMW has since made their iDrive more user-friendly.
Availability MMI gradually filtered down Audi lineup, and follow the A3 was introduced in the third generation in 2011, MMI is now available across the range. Has been generally well received, as it requires less menu-surfing with its segment buttons around the middle button, along with 'main function' direct access buttons - with shortcuts to the radio or phone functions. Color screen mounted on the upright dashboard, and on the A4 (new), A5, A6, A8, and Q7, the controls are mounted horizontally.
