When most people think of an armored vehicle, they think of the trucks that drive money around for banks or military vehicles. A company based in Wyoming called AddArmor has created what it claims to be the world's fastest armored vehicle. The car it chose for its bulletproof creation is the Audi RS7.
Audi has announced that the 2019 Audi A6 is bringing with it more value to the mid-size sedan segment for the automaker. The 2019 A6 gets an all-new 2.0L TFSI four-cylinder that makes 248 horsepower and 273 lb-ft of torque. The engine can push the car to 60 mph in 6.1 seconds.
The road to electrification seldom goes smoothly, and Audi is getting its first taste of that with an proactive safety recall for some of its 2019 e-tron electric SUVs. Approximately 540 cars already delivered to buyers are being affected, the automaker confirmed today, over a possible issue that could affect the battery. However, Audi says, no actual incidents have been reported worldwide.
Sometimes it takes the unexpected to really get the true measure of a car, but you can't say the 2019 Audi e-tron shies from a challenge. First in what the automaker expects to be a whole series of "e-tron" branded electric vehicles, the new SUV isn't just attempting to demonstrate that established car companies can keep up with new tech, but to change the conversation on what's important when it comes to EVs. An impromptu weather A/B test was just a bonus.
One of the most iconic Audi cars of the past two decades is getting an all-electric replacement, with the automaker confirming that the Audi TT faces an EV reinvention.

Congested city driving is something most of us would prefer to avoid, and the Audi AI:ME concept offers one vision of how we might go about that.

Audi has announced new models that mix a sporty nature with TDI efficiency. The Audi S6 and S7 models have debuted with Audi's V6 TDI diesel engine. The turbocharged engines don't use a traditional exhaust gas-powered turbo alone, using an electric-powered compressor (EPC) and a conventional turbo together.
Audi has confirmed estimated range and availability for the 2019 Audi e-tron, its fully-electric SUV, and it's likely to lead to arguments among EV fans. Announced last year, the 2019 e-tron is arguably the automaker's most serious play in the electric space to-date, certainly in the US, taking on not only Tesla but Jaguar and others in the process.
Four door coupe. SUV coupe. Luxury sports... truck? If naming a thing is the first step to understanding it, then the 2019 Audi Q8 doesn't seem especially keen on being pinned down. Settling into new territory for the German automaker, it's either a perfect example of giving consumers what they apparently want, or a fairly extreme act of niche-filling.
The Audi e-tron SUV may not be for everyone so, freshly unveiled today at the Geneva International Motorshow, is the all-new Audi Q4 e-tron concept. It's a compact four-door SUV, smaller than the existing e-tron, but borrowing its styling and its drivetrain tech. According to Audi's Marc Lichte, this very concept is coming to production form with very few, minor changes, in 2021.
Audi has announced a special edition of the venerable R8 sports car called the Audi R8 Decennium. The car is an homage to the success of the V10 engine for Audi and is a limited edition. Audi plans to build only 222 units globally.
