Audi A6

INTRODUCTION:
An intelligent combination of materials renders the body unusually light; operation is easy, despite a wealth of functionality; and the range of assistance and multimedia systems is extensive. The new A6 series starts with five powerplants generating between 130 kW (177 hp) and 220 kW (300 hp) of output: two gasoline engines and three TDI units. The Audi A6 hybrid will follow at a later date; it combines the power of a large V6 with the fuel efficiency of a four-cylinder unit. A number of drivetrain options are also available. The Audi drive select dynamic handling system for all TFSI and TDI versions has been expanded to include an additional mode – the 'efficiency' program.

DESIGN:
Much of the body of the new Audi A6 consists of aluminum and high-tech steels, rendering it exceedingly light, stiff and safe. State-of-the art design methods and materials ensure extremely low interior noise levels. Precision tuning of all components and systematic hydraulic damping in the axle and drivetrain bearings provide excellent vibrational comfort.Audi A6 embodies athleticism and elegance. The sedan is 4.92 meters (16.14 ft) long and 1.87 meters (6.14 ft) wide, but just 1.46 meters (4.79 ft) high – sporty proportions that are unrivaled by the competition. The long engine hood, the low, sweeping roofline and the prominent lines on the flanks create a dynamic overall appearance. Optional LED headlights emphasize the striking expression at the front.

SPECIFICATION:
The most powerful unit in the range is the 2.0 TDI. In conjunction with a manual transmission, it requires on average just 4.9 liters of fuel per 100 km (48.00 ÚS mpg) and emits just 129 g CO2 per km (207.61 g/mile). The A6 hybrid will be available from Audi at a later date. Serving up 180 kW (245 hp) of system performance, its 2.0 TFSI plus electric motor will achieve efficient and sporty acceleration with an average fuel consumption of only 6.2 liters per 100 km (37.94 ÚS mpg) (provisional figure).Depending on the engine version, power is funneled via the gears to the front wheels or to the quattro permanent all-wheel drive, whose crown-gear center differential and torque-vectoring function achieve the ultimate traction, stability and dynamic response. For the top-of-the-line engines, Audi will offer an optional sport differential.

1935 Audi 225 Front Special Roadster Rebuilt for Spectacular Exhibition
• 100 years of Audi: a special exhibition in the Audi museum mobile with the oldest surviving Audi models on display

• World premiere of the rebuilt Audi Front 225 Special Roadster

• 1911 Audi Type A in Ingolstadt for the first time

• Comic strips narrate Audi's early history

The Audi 225 Front is an excellent example of Audi's early history. Calling it rare would be a gross understatement: only two were built, and none remain today. Calling it incredible, too, would be an understatement.

The 225 Front was imposing and dignified, with strong lines giving it a great presence. Its four rings represented Auto Union, of which Audi was then a member. August Horch founded Audi after founding the company that bared his name, so it's no surprise that the 225 Front had an appearance similar to some of the magnificent Horchs. With its tall grille and long hood leading into the swept-back body, the Audi was pure prestige.

When the car was first displayed at the Berlin International Auto Show in 1935, the crowds were impressed. Full scale production of the model would have been too very costly, though, which is why Audi built just two prototypes.

Sadly, those prototypes were lost. But Audi has given the spirit of the 225 Front another chance to impress the masses by recreating the great car. Photographs of the 225 Front were studied carefully. Every detail was examined closely to provide the basis for a proper recreation. Using a correct and original chassis, Audi Tradition created a carbon copy of the 225 Front.

The recreated automobile, a roadster finished in white, was recently displayed at the Techno Classica in Germany. As one of the world's largest collector car shows, the Techno Classica provided a great place for Audi to show its 225 Front. Held during Audi's centennial year, the 2009 Techno Classica offered spectators the chance to look back on the past of a car company with an incredibly bright future.

Senner Audi A5 Cabrio

Inside and outside, the Audi A5 is a good looking car. And while the Cabriolet may be even better looking than the hardtop model, tuning companies always believe they can do better. Senner Tuning has put together a package for the A5, and they’ve taken this German saloon to the extreme: new front bumpers, rear bumpers, 4 tailpipe exhaust, wheels, and adjustable suspension make the car even more eyecatching than it already was.

The tuners from have unveiled over the weekend their Audi A5 Cabrio upgrade program, which offers increased performance and a number of body work updates. The Senner Audi A5 Cabrio for the 2.0 TFSI model offers a power increase to 275 HP and 430 Nm of torque. The extra umpf of the Senner Audi A5 Cabrio 2.0 TFSI comes from updated engine electronics and new sport air filters. The Senner Audi A5 Cabrio also features a Power Convertor system that manages to offer even faster reaction times of the accelerator pedal. Although the tuner doesn't mention, we bet the new stainless steel exhaust system with four 88x74mm diameter tailpipes also gives a few extra horses to the Senner Audi A5 Cabrio.

The tuner from Ingelheim offers an audibly superior exhaust system for the A5, guaranteed to give you goosebumps. It is an in-house sports exhaust system with a stainless steel finishing with four end pipes, 88x74mm in diameter. With this, the Audi gives the driver a real sports car feeling.

For the wheels, only the best was good enough. On the right are Varianza TIS light metal rims and on the left, Scwhert (“Sword”) SC1 light metal rims in silver chrome with anodised lips 9×20 inches and 10.5×20 inches in size with 245/30 R20 und 295/25 R20er Vredestein tyres – they cause quite a sensation. You don’t need to trim the wheel arch edges for that!

Prestige in the interior is taken care of with surfaces made from leather and extensive carbon fibre applications. The carbon set at Senner Tuning Inc. includes a tacho blend, the S-Line sports steering wheel, an ash tray cover as well as a further extension of door applications, not exactly made with cheap material. The whole thing is completed with the convertible roof module by Senner Tuning Inc., which can be open and closed via radio signals.

Audi S5 Cabrio -HS Motorsport Review:

An exhaust silencer from Cargraphic with four round inclined rolled-in 89 mm exhaust pipes announces soon arrival of the Audi S5 Cabrio like a post-horn did in its time. At the present moment, there is only one version assigned for export.

The customers fairly expect over and over again something extraordinary from the HS Motorsport company from Eching, located near Munich, the more so the perfection for a valuable client is the highest precept for Bavaria’s tuner.Strictly speaking, the external loo k of the cabriolet from Ingolstadt doesn’t need any upgrades. Therefore, the crew begins with the engine output increase which is not visible at first glance. This results in the fact that substantial 375 HP instead of standard 333 HP are now waiting for calling. The maximum torque shows 525 Nm in comparison to initial 440 Nm, which is now blasting the crankshaft without mercy. Increasing the limit of Vmax to the new value of 290 km/h is just a logical way at such performance.

Tested version for Germany:

Wheel disks at the front axle in 9x21 inch with 255/30ZR21 tyres and in 10,5x21 inch with 295/25ZR21 tyres at the rear axle are produced by Cargraphic also. Use of Bilstein thread suspension B16 PSS10 ensures perfect match of the wheel/tyre combination to the wheel housings.On demand – and at this performance absolutely advisable – a brake system from Brembo with double 380x32 mm brake disks and 6-piston monoblock saddle for the front axle can be installed. In conclusion, various carbon parts for the external cover and also for the interior should be mentioned.
