Following the official release of the all-new Audi A7 Sportback, the German automaker has revealed the first full set of photos and details featuring the two S-Line kits that will be available for the car. While one package includes both interior furnishings and new wheels, the other updates the exterior.
Presumably, the S-Line packages will be available on the Audi A7 Sportback when it comes on the European market later this year.
The new performance package for the new Audi TT RS by German tuner MTM allows the consumer to choose from three different power stages. Under normal circumstances the car produces 340hp of power and peak torque of 450Nm. The factory claims a 0 - 100 km/h time of 4.6 seconds.
MTM has used the stock 2.5-litre 5-cylinder turbo as a basis. By adjusting the engine control unit and fitting a new exhaust system with new middle- and end- pipes with throttle valves, the car not only sounds great but also revs higher.
MTM offers three stages of power, though we must say the differences between the stages are very small. Stage 1 offers 404bhp and 550Nm while stage 2 gives out 408bhp and the same amount of torque. The highest stage offers maximum power of 424bhp and 560Nm, does 0 - 100 km/h in 4.2 seconds and achieves a top speed of 297 km/h. The car is provided with MTM sport wheels with the original BIMOTO design measuring 19-inch or 20-inch.
This is the awesome new promo video of the Audi R8 Spyder supercar. The video has an interesting soundtrack, and shows the car driving in various locations in the quick, thirty-second spot.
The R8 Spyder has a 525-horsepower 5.2-liter V10 engine, which you hear quite clearly in the video. This powerplant gets the car up to 100 km/h in 4.1 seconds and has a top speed of 313 km/h (194 mph).
Audi R8 Spyder sales will begin soon, with deliveries taking place next year.
Although the U.S. market won’t be getting the Audi A5 Sportback, based on the reaction here on the floor in Frankfurt, Audi won’t have any problem moving them in Europe. It took us longer to get clear shots of the A5 than any other car at Audi (even the R8 Spyder), and when we returned at the end of the day there were still numerous fascinated Euro types examining the car like it was CSI evidence.
The A5 is so beautiful on its own we weren’t sure how the Sportback appellation might distort, but like the BMW 5 Series GT, it makes friends with the eyes in person — and in fact, it’s better. The S5 is the top of the heap model, and it will sport a supercharged, 3.0-liter V6 with 333 hp and 325 lb-ft. Just 5.4 seconds takes you to the 60, but whatever speed you travel, you shouldn’t be disappointed with how you look doing it. At least, if you’re not in the U.S…
Audi has announced new details regarding their upcoming BMW 5-Series Gran Turismo competitor, the A5 Sportback.
Designed to be as “emotional and elegant as a coupe, as comfortable as a sedan, and as practical as an Avant”, the A5 Sportback is essentially a five-door coupe. Although the teaser video only shows an artist stretching the A5 Sportback’s design, Audi states that the new model features a large rear hatch, a graceful tapering roofline which is 36 mm (1.4″) lower than the A4 Sedan’s, and four frameless doors with “dynamic window styling”.
Performance options include a newly developed ESP system with an electronic differential lock for improved steering response, Audi drive select, adaptive shock absorbers, and dynamic steering with continuously variable assistance.
Look for the new A5 to start arriving in European showrooms this September with a base price of €36,050.
Caught testing close to the manufacturer’s headquarters in Ingolstadt, Germany, with virtually no camouflage, the prototype follows recent Audi form by being disguised as a racer.
However, the distinctive single windscreen wiper, quick-release bonnet pins and adjustable front spoiler won’t make it on to the production version. These racy additions are simply Audi’s attempt to give spy photographers the slip.
As our exclusive picture shows, the much anticipated newcomer will feature a wider track than the standard A3 and has enlarged wheelarches to accommodate the beefier alloys.
The car is being developed by Audi’s Sport division - the team responsible for the barnstorming S4 and RS4 - and is scheduled to make its debut in show-rooms late next year.
