The Audi name was born in 1909, when August Horch translated his surname into Latin. Today, the badge recognises the four companies that merged to create the brand as we know it. At the moment, there are 14 models in its lineup, ranging from the A1 city hatchback to the V10-powered R8.
The CarAdvice team travels around the globe each year to delve into the world of car technology. So, when CarAdvice reader Trent asked what we actually do at these events, we decided to go behind the scenes at an Audi Tech Day in Germany to show you, the reader, what happens.
We take a look at how the A3 sedan fares with moving multiple people and their stuff.
We take our Audi A3 long-termer on a more spirited drive through the Victorian hills to see if it lives up to its 'Sport' badging.
There's something really special about Phillip Island. It's one of the quickest race tracks you'll ever come across and if the pace doesn't make your heart flutter, the scenery certainly will. Throw some stupidly quick Audi RS models into the mix and you've got a smile inducing recipe for fun...
Ahead of the arrival of its first full-electric SUV later this year, the plug-in hybrid 2018 Audi Q7 e-tron fulfils the German brand's greenie credentials. But is it any good?
There’s something really special about Phillip Island. It’s one of the quickest race tracks you’ll ever come across and if the pace doesn’t make your heart flutter, the scenery certainly will. Throw some stupidly quick Audi RS models into the mix and you’ve got a smile inducing recipe for fun...
The Audi RS4 Avant is a family hauler that truly hauls arse, in a straight line and through corners alike, and it does it in all conditions. No other luxury wagon outside the Audi stable can claim that in quite so angry a fashion. While I do dig the C63 Estate, I reckon it just isn't quite the headturner that this baddie clearly is...
You told us you don't trust the traditional 'Car of the Year' format favoured by most publishers, and you wanted to know more about our own personal faves, objectivity be damned. Well, here it is. Get the full story right here. NOTE: This video was first published on December 18.
To say that the Audi A8 is packed with features and technology may be the understatement of 2018. In fact, when we tested the A8 recently, we felt the depths of technological talents deserved their own story. Join us on this guide to just what Audi’s A8 is capable of...
There's a new-generation 3 Series in town. Yep, it's that time again.
Audi R8 RWS and McLaren 540C duke it out to see which is the best 'affordable' everyday supercar.
From our vantage point, there’s barely a volume carmaker of note without a small crossover SUV – a high-riding hatchback with attitude designed for young up-and-comers and well-funded downsizers in equal measure...
The Audi Q5 55 TFSI e Quattro has been revealed, powered by a 185kW/370Nm 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine paired to a 105kW/350Nm electric motor built into the seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. Total system outputs are rated at 270kW and 500Nm – the latter available from just 1250rpm...
Photographers have snapped images of what is believed to be the new Audi RS3 doing rounds at the famed Nurburgring circuit in Germany. "New RS3? But that's the current one!" you may say. Well, if you look closely you'll notice some subtle fender extensions at both the front and the rear to hide the new model's wider tracks...
The Audi Q3 Sportback has been spied doing some hot laps around the Nurburgring Nordschleife ahead of its planned launch later this year. From the B-pillar forwards, the Q3 Sportback will share practically all of its elements with the regular version of the Q3. At the rear there's a heavily raked tailgate and windscreen, slimmer D-pillars, and an upwards kick for the quarter window...
Audi has revealed the heavily revised A4 family, headlined by an updated design and a comprehensive technology upgrade. Outside, the design team in Ingolstadt has taken clear inspiration from the new A6. There are new headlights (LED across the range) and a fresh interpretation of Audi's corporate grille, along with tweaked air intakes and detailing on the bumper...
So, three months on and I’ve started to get comfortable with my new TT, which replaced my 911 (for reference). Now, the TT is fast, very fast. The fastest car I have ever owned. The engine is glorious and the gearbox a perfect match. It sounds wonderful when it moves – did I say how well it moves? The cabin is a wonderful place to be when it’s cruising or flying, as the cockpit was designed like a pilot's seat – it is perfect...
By accident I appear to have become a place of refuge for the unloved high-kilometre Audi. Having previously written an owner review of my ’06 Audi A3 with 216,000km on the odo’, I am now the proud owner of a 1999 Audi A4 1...
I’ve had my Audi for over 4 years now and have been meaning to write a review for most of that time. For an owner review, though, later is often better: by now I’ve got plenty of experience to share. I bought it in 2014 when I was looking at a car to replace my aging 2005 Lexus IS300...
My S3 gets the balance right. Friends told me the S3 is just a Golf R in a pretty dress. Not worth the extra outlay. Maybe, but my daily drive – VW’s Wolfsburg Edition Golf R – just didn’t feel like $61K worth (drive-away). Certainly a great car, but a lot of money for a Golf. I must admit, I’d been tempted by the seductive shape of Audi’s S3 sedan for some time...
