Audi A3 1.8 TFSi S-Line (2012) CAR review

Audi A3 1.8 TFSi S-Line (2012) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

Chris Chilton, 21 May 2012 12:55

Audi’s first new A3 for nine years is also our first glimpse at the new MQB platform, the building block of every major transverse-engined car in the VW empire for the next few years. It’s been nine years since the last A3 was released. We’ve had two new Golfs in that time. Why the delay? Well Audi has been a ...

Audi S6 Quattro (2012) CAR review

Audi S6 Quattro (2012) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

Ben Barry, 18 April 2012 09:39

This is the new S6 Quattro saloon, Audi’s rival to the BMW 550i and Jaguar XF V8. It costs £53,995, comes only with Quattro all-wheel drive and a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox, and serves up 414bhp and 406lb ft. That’s a V10 under the 2012 Audi S6's bonnet, isn’t it? No. The previous Audi S6 did come with a V10, but ...

Audi A1 Quattro prototype (2011) CAR review

Audi A1 Quattro prototype (2011) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Pulman, 28 March 2011 09:30

From the A3 to A8, with the TT and R8 in between, every model in Audi’s range is available with four-wheel drive. Well, expect one: the A1. The platform that underpins Audi’s supermini (and is shared with the VW Polo, Skoda Fabia and Seat Ibiza) wasn’t built for four-wheel drive. And that front-wheel drive chassis is exactly the reason why ...

Audi RS3 Sportback (2011) CAR review

Audi RS3 Sportback (2011) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

Ben Pulman, 17 February 2011 09:00

This is the Audi RS3 Sportback, a near-£40k hot hatch with 335bhp, four-wheel drive and a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox. It’s the smallest, cheapest RS model ever produced by Quattro GmbH, and is a final hurrah for the A3 with a new model just around the corner. Can it combine S3 Sportback practicality with TT RS attitude? Read on for CAR’s first ...

Audi A7 3.0 TFSI SE (2010) CAR review

Audi A7 3.0 TFSI SE (2010) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

Richard Jones, 30 November 2010 14:57

Audi says 90% of European buyers will take their A7s with diesel power. So what’s on offer for those who want to think out of the box? We try the supercharged 3.0 TFSi petrol version to find out. Quick recap please – what is the A7 exactly? It's Ingolstadt’s answer to the Mercedes CLS, a luxury saloon that desperately wants ...

Audi A7 3.0 TDI SE (2010) CAR review

Audi A7 3.0 TDI SE (2010) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Georg Kacher, 13 September 2010 14:47

So what exactly is the new Audi A7? It’s Audi’s answer to the Mercedes CLS, a luxury saloon that thinks it’s a coupé. Unlike the CLS, but like the Porsche Panamera, Aston Rapide and BMW 5-series GT, the Audi has an opening hatch instead of a saloon boot. Think A5 Sportback but on a bigger scale. So it’s a re-imagined ...

Audi A1 1.4 TFSI (2010) new CAR review

Audi A1 1.4 TFSI (2010) new CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Chris Chilton, 16 June 2010 10:08

Move over Mini – the new Audi A1 is finally here. It only took them 10 years to catch up with BMW's success story. You have to wonder why it took so long for the A1 to come to market. This isn’t anything like as radical as the old aluminium A2. It’s basically a reskinned Polo with better engines and ...

Audi RS5 (2010) CAR video road test

Audi RS5 (2010) CAR video road test

Rated 3 out of 53

Phil McNamara, 23 April 2010 17:01

The Audi RS5, one of the most exciting prospects of 2010, has been driven by CAR. With 444bhp, a 4.2-litre V8 petrol engine that winds up to an 8500rpm redline, and four-wheel drive, Ingostadt¹s new coupe looks to have the ammunition to take on BMW¹s sensational M3. There¹s barely a cigarette paper between their 4.6sec and 4.7sec 0-62mph sprints (it¹s ...

Audi RS6 Avant by Abt (2010) CAR review

Audi RS6 Avant by Abt (2010) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Ben Barry, 22 April 2010 10:51

For most people, you’d think an all-wheel drive estate with 572bhp and 479lb ft of torque was quite enough. Not German tuner Abt, which has tweaked the Audi RS6 to 690bhp and 590lb ft. ABT, you say? It’s Abt, surname of company founder Johann Abt, and it’s pronounced much like ‘apt’. After years on the edges of our consciousness, Abt ...

Audi TT RS Coupe (2009) CAR review

Audi TT RS Coupe (2009) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Ben Oliver, 24 June 2009 12:30

Audi doesn’t make many RS-badged cars. Since 1992 it has only applied them to five high-performance, low-volume models: the original RS2 estate, and two versions each of the RS4 and RS6. Each had a monstrous engine shoe-horned into a saloon or estate body, and made BMW’s M-cars and Mercedes-Benz’s AMGs look pretty common by comparison. So any new RS model ...
