Our man at the Nurburgring caught the next-generation Audi RS6 testing in the Green Hell. There's no hiding those oval exhausts, the puffed-up bodykit or swollen arches encircling 20-inch wheels. Sadly, not much can be heard of the RS6's 542bhp, twin-turbo, direct-injection 4.0 V8 (say that ten times fast) but the car certainly looks speedy and composed. The new engine features cylinder deactivation, turning off half the cylinders to mimic a four-pot ...

Audi is preparing an open-top A1 convertible for launch in 2013. However, this is no full drop-top cabriolet; the Audi A1 soft-top will have a tin opener taken to its metal structure and a rollback fabric roof will take its place. So the Audi A1 Convertible will be like the Fiat 500C? That's right. The Audi solution, as depicted in ...

We've already scooped the new 2014 Audi TT, but we've come across new information which fleshes out the detail on Audi's new coupe. The next Audi TT will be more dynamic and performance-focused than the model it replaces. Although the Audi TT Mk3 version won't encroach on the R8, it does move further upmarket, thereby reducing the terrain for the proposed - ...

Audi is gearing up to replace the R8 supercar in spring 2014 and the next R8 is tipped to follow an evolutionary look, as depicted in our new artist's impression. But it's not the first change to the R8. Later in 2012, Audi will give the R8 a mild facelift and tech update. It will be fitted with a seven-speed ...
