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.
Yes, the V8 engine is gone, but so too is the ageing lack of pace offered by the much-loved powerplant. The new Audi RS4 Avant heads into the future, by going back to it, with V6 power.
The Audi R8 RWS is the most affordable R8, and the first RWD Audi – no pressure then...
A 5.0-litre V10. A stonking 397kW. The sprint from 0-100km/h in 3.7 seconds. And it’s 50kg lighter than its quattro AWD big brother, making it more nimble and agile. This is the rear-wheel-drive Audi R8 RWS. On track or on a remote piece of tarmac, these facts and figures make sense...
It's big, bold and the most technologically advanced Audi yet. Meet the 2018 Audi A8.
It’s human nature to slip on the rose-tinted glasses and remember ‘the good old days’, but there’s nothing to fear when the future includes performance wagons like the new Audi RS4. ...
With a punchy four-cylinder turbo and quattro all-wheel drive squeezed under its pint-sized body, the 2014 Audi S1 Sportback has the potential to be seriously special. How does that translate to the real world? Although it provides a window into life with a car, there's only so much we can learn during a regular week-long review...
A 5.0-litre V10. A stonking 397kW. The sprint from 0-100km/h in 3.7 seconds. And it’s 50kg lighter than its quattro AWD big brother making it more nimble and agile. This is the rear wheel drive Audi R8 RWS. Unfortunately there are a distinct lack of Alps and snow capped peaks in the suburbs surrounding Sydney but there is something that the harbour city is certainly not lacking in...
We have been well and truly surprised with the all-new Audi Q8. It takes an already impressive platform in the Q7 and adds a stack of style and new technology. Even without testing them back-to-back, we know this is already a smarter purchase option than the ageing BMW X6 and Mercedes-Benz GLE Coupe.
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...
You could call a comparison between the 2018 Audi RS5 and 2018 BMW M4 Competition a battle of ethos. A battle, if you will, of two different ways of solving the same problem. Which problem? Delivering a blindingly fast, somewhat affordable track weapon that needs to be used every day. It’s not an easy conundrum to solve either...
Audi has added the current-generation TT and R8 to its Takata recall list, As with all Takata-related recalls, affected vehicles are fitted with airbag inflator propellant that, when exposed to heat and humidity, can degrade over time. In the case of these Audis, it's the driver's airbag that is affected...
Audi is optimistic the Australian government will join the rest of the first world and offer buyer incentives for choosing an electric vehicle (EV) over an internal-combustion one. Speaking to CarAdvice at the launch of the new e-tron in San Francisco, Paul Sansom, Audi Australia managing director, said he sees incentives for EVs as high on the agenda, based on a commitment from both major Australian political parties to meet environmental targets set out in the Paris Agreement...
Audi Australia is convinced the luxury car tax (LCT) will be removed in the near future, as the Australian Government and European Union continue to hash out a free-trade agreement – but the changes remain delayed until the fallout Britain’s European Union exit is complete. The LCT is a 33 percent tax on cars costing over $66,531 with fuel usage over 7...
Tightening emissions requirements and looming fossil fuel bans aren't the main driver behind Audi's push toward electric power, with the brand instead arguing a desire to meet customer demand is central to its electrified rollout...
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...
The RS3 seems to be the car everyone is raving on about in the hot hatch world (yes, I realise this review is about the sedan!). I got caught up in the hype and bought a brand-new one in late 2017, and it arrived early 2018. I have had my Audi RS3 sedan for about 2.5 months now and have covered nearly 4000km in that time...
I have had my RS3 for a year and a half now, and it has been a great car for day to day driving. In fact, the best I have ever had for this task. It makes the commute back and forth from work damn fun! I bought it after a test drive where I was looking at the RS4, but the RS3 was faster and had a lot more character, so I made the (right) choice in getting it...
The RS3 sedan is an absolute pleasure to drive. I have owned it for two months and it is great in every way. The 2.5-litre has a great sound, and the all-wheel drive means it sticks to the road like nothing I have experienced. The team at Audi Sport do their magic so well and these cars are amazing...
