Beastly SUVs are in fashion right now. It's not hard to see why: SUV sales in general are buoyant and there are power-hungry drivers willing to open their wallets extra-wide for a family hauler that, to be blunt, hauls ass, too. The 2020 Audi SQ7 is not the first to pair performance and usability, then, and nor is it the most powerful.
ABT is a company famous today for turning already powerful Audi sports cars into customized rolling pieces of artwork with even more power and style. It's latest vehicle is the ABT RSQ8-R, and the company has tuned it to deliver 700 hp and 880 Nm of torque. Buyers can also opt for an ABT Engine Control that works in conjunction with a specially designed intercooler to bump the horsepower to 740 and torque to 920 Nm.
Audi will unleash 2021 S3 Sportback and Sedan in Europe beginning this month. This includes the limited ‘Edition one’ model of both the S3 Sportback and Sedan. The package includes Tango Red paint for the Sedan and Python Yellow for the Sportback model. Common across the two are bespoke dark exterior accents, 19-inch wheels, and premium sport seats wrapped in fine Nappa leather.
Audi has always leveraged technology to make its vehicles perform better. One of its latest pieces of technology that it's talking about is a new high-tech control unit known as the future vehicle dynamics computer that can actuate up to 90 components simultaneously. In the future, an integrated vehicle dynamics processor will handle longitudinal and lateral dynamics control and energy and powertrain management.
Audi is adding a new, more affordable trim to its all-electric 2021 e-tron SUV, bringing down the cost of entry while also bumping up the range over the previous year. The electric luxury SUV is being joined in dealerships by the new 2021 Audi e-tron Sportback, a more stylish version with a swooping roofline.
Audi has revealed its upcoming 2022 A3 Sedan, with crisper design, a more high-tech cabin, and a power bump over the outgoing four-door. Arriving in the US in late 2021, the new A3 is longer, wider, and taller than its predecessor, and introduces new features like Matrix-design headlights with model-specific daytime light signatures.
Audi is setting one of its icons out to sail on its last journey, with the R8 V10 quattro being discontinued - and a special edition marking that with a bang. Only thirty of the limited edition R8 V10 quattro will be produced, pairing features cherry-picked from its more expensive performance sibling with some striking style.
Audi's latest plug-in hybrid has broken cover, with the 2021 A7 55 TFSIe promising the style we've come to associate with the A7-series, but the efficiency of a PHEV. Headed to the US this fall, the newest addition to the four-door coupe line-up pairs a 2.0-liter gas engine with a single electric motor.
Audi was the first German car brand to release a production-ready electric SUV: The e-tron, a vehicle unmistakably an Audi with its familiar silhouette and bold Singleframe grille. The e-tron SUV has none of a modern electric car's quirkiness, which is either a good or bad thing depending on how you look at it: Audi's search for something with mass-market appeal left it looking pretty much like a conventional gasoline-powered SUV. If you’re pining for more style in your electric Audi SUV, though, the German carmaker has unveiled the 2021 Q4 Sportback e-tron.
Audi put together its Artemis team to shake up how high-tech electric vehicles are developed, and the first example of that in action is tipped to be a lavish flagship fit to take on the best of Mercedes, BMW, and other high-end brands. Announced back in May, Artemis is Audi's experiment at EV fast-tracking, bypassing the current vehicle development process to create "a pioneering model."
Audi has revealed the new 2021 Q5, the latest version of what's arguably its most important model. Headed to the US later this year, the new Q5 tightens up the styling and brings a plug-in hybrid and a sporty 2021 SQ5 along with it, complete with lashings of extra tech inside.
