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 Audi Q3 is finally back in Australian showrooms with an all-new model after a 12-month absence.
Among enthusiasts and car spotters, it's got hero status - now there's an all-new Audi RS7. It's faster, considerably meaner, and a bit greener too.
Audi's popular high-performance SQ5 TDI is back after a two-year absence, only this time it has plenty more grunt under the bonnet and sounds even better.
In the Q3 Sportback, Audi introduces a racier version of its newest upcoming Q3 small SUV, and it's bound to attract plenty of admirers since it gives up very little in the way of space.
Audi has launched the highly anticipated 2020 SQ5, with Audi Australia all but confirming the latest-generation SQ5 TDI for 2020. Better late than never, we think, because this is a cracking SUV that more than fills the shoes of its popular predecessor. How good is it? Anthony Crawford finds out.
In the Q3 Sportback, Audi introduces a racier version of its newest upcoming Q3 small SUV, and it's bound to attract plenty of admirers since it gives up very little in the way of space. What's it like on first impressions? Anthony Crawford finds out.
Audi's new-generation RS7 Sportback is revealed, sporting a monstrous 441kW 4.0-litre-twin-turbo V8.
Audi's new-generation RS6 Avant continues a wonderful tradition of monstrously powerful and meanly proportioned wagons.
With style at the fore, these two could be forgiven for relying on their looks alone. The heat of a head-to-head comparison requires substance and sophistication, as well, to come out on top.
If you’re looking for the most visceral journeys, short or long, from a practical mid-sized performance sedan, should you look to Alfa Romeo, Audi Sport, BMW M or Mercedes-AMG?
There's a new-generation 3 Series in town. Yep, it's that time again.
Volkswagen, Audi and Skoda are recalling a total of more than 80,000 cars with DSG dual clutch automatic gearboxes because some are slipping into “limp home” mode and can’t be restarted without the help of a mechanic armed with diagnostics equipment. The latest DSG recall – yet to be announced on the Federal Government’s recall website – includes about 62,000 Volkswagens, 14,000 Audis and 4500 Skodas...
ANCAP has awarded five-star safety ratings for the all-new Audi Q3 and Toyota Granvia, with both vehicles hitting local showrooms this month.

As I grew older and wiser, and as I came to the realisation that there is no place for “sports” driving on Australian roads, I began to covet the pleasures of luxury motoring and low-revving low-stress diesel performance. You cannot go past the Audi A8 4.2TDI in this regard. The interior style and finish is to die for...
My wife called me a MAMIL when I bought my first compression tights the other day. I thought she was referring to my “manliness”, but alas I was wrong. I didn’t know what a MAMIL was, so I googled it. It stands for: Middle Age Man In Lycra. It is an expression that has been used in the past 10 years to describe middle-aged males (I’m 44) buying expensive bicycles instead of the old days of buying an expensive sports car...
2014 Audi S3 Sedan: The Ultimate One Car Garage under $50K When I was shopping for a car to finally replace my rapidly ageing V35 Skyline, I had one goal in mind: finding the ultimate all ‘rounder car for under $50K.

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...
