2013 Audi A3

2013 Audi A3
Versions with hybrid and alternative drive systems such as natural gas and Audi e-gas are currently in development. Audi ultra lightweight technology has helped to trim weight in the body of the appealing three-door car - compared to the previous model, the new A3 is now 80 kg (176.37 lb) lighter.

The engines are powerful yet highly efficient, the interior offers an ambience of dynamic style. The front fender and engine hood are made of aluminum; the car body also integrates a high share of ultra high-strength and hot-formed steels.

The color display of the driver information system (standard on the Ambition and Ambiente equipment lines) presents graphics in highly detailed 3D images.

It includes the sound system from Bang & Olufsen and MMI navigation plus. In each case, engine power is always transferred to the front wheels; quattro permanent all-wheel drive - and other engines, including a 1.4 TFSI engine with innovative cylinder on demand technology from Audi - will follow over the course of the next few months.

The optional Audi drive select system (standard on the Ambition line) lets the driver vary the operating modes of key components - such as steering, the accelerator pedal and transmission characteristics (with S tronic) - for a customizable driving experience. It also incorporates the optional adaptive shock absorbers; they utilize magnetic ride technology from Audi.

Wheels range from 16 to 18 inches in diameter.

The new Audi A3 was designed with succinct lines, and its dimensions are compact. Large air intakes at the front reflect the power of the engines.

The single-frame radiator grille dominates the front-end, and higher specification models get xenon headlamps with LED running lamps.

Interior
The redesigned interior is built around a ‘floating’ dashboard with round air vents, climate control panel and redesigned instrument cluster, plus an optional 3D color display for the Driver’s Information System – the ultra-thin retractable MMI monitor and new electromechanical parking brake liberate space in the centre console for the optional MMI operating terminal.

Engines
The new
Audi A3 will launch in Europe with three four-cylinder engines. The 1.4-liter and 1.8-liter TFSI engines and the 2.0-litre TDI have outputs of 122, 180 and 143hp respectively. Compared with the previous model, they offer fuel economy improvements averaging 12 per cent.

The optional Audi drive select system lets the driver vary the operating characteristics of the steering weighting, throttle response and transmission shift points (when S tronic is fitted).

The first generation debuted in 1996 as a three-door model, and created the new premium compact class.

Audi sold about 880,000 units of this first model series.

2012 Audi S8


I got limo’d around in a long-wheelbase Audi recently, all creamy comfort and posh circumstance. Part of the reason for the A8’s relative lack of grandiloquence is that Audi has not forcefully foisted its flagship upon North Americans.

The first sign it did get it was the last-generation, optioned-to-the-max
Audi S8, Audi’s quasi-answer to Mercedes’ S63 AMG.

Like BMW, Audi has figured out that high-revving, mega-horsepower V10s may scream delightfully, but they also suck gas with an Obama-infuriating thirst. Better, then, is a smaller-displacement V8 turbocharged within an inch of its life (an Audi specialty by now) that is even more mega-horsepower.

Yes, though it displaces only 4.0 litres, the new Audi S8 boasts 520 horsepower, the German manufacturers’ recent fascination with twin turbochargers making a mockery of the old 100-hp-per-litre measuring stick.

Incredibly, like the CLS 63 AMG and BMW’s M5, Audi’s switch to turbocharging was necessitated by a search for better fuel economy.

The S8’s chassis gets all manner of high tech doohickeys as well, foremost among them a variable air suspension system that can alter the ride height by as much as 30 millimetres.

I know this because Audi actually let us beat up the poor S8 on a race track — the Circuito de Navarra — and the big Audi felt a little overwhelmed.

As befits an Audi (and I am getting tired of repeating this in every Audi road test), the S8’s cabin just reeks of quality. Again with the sublime and the ridiculous, but, man, am I glad Audi’s sound engineers are overachievers.

If the S8’s interior lacks anything, it is that certain je ne sais quoi — you know, something like a Cartier clock, a giant-screen TV, anything — that might give prospective Audi owners a reason to boast why they shopped Ingolstadt rather than Stuttgart. I’ve long considered the S8 my favourite Audi. Somebody should notice.

Audi is the most admired car brand. It is a very luxurious car. Its metal body makes the car looks awesome. The muscat of Audi i.e the four rings present on the front side brings the royalty to the car.

The four represent individual car companies which combined to form Audi. It is vastly improved model in terms of power. The newly developed system concentrates on elimination of disturbances in sound i.e producing good sound qualities.

The new S8 model is designed taking the A8 model as foundation. It generates much more power and is even returns a very good fuel economy when compared to previous models produced by Audi. The 21 inch wheel diameter, with hiding disk brakes on both front and rare wheels makes the car impeccable.

It is a thrilling experience to drive Audi S8.
With all the above discussed advanced features included, the new Audi S8 is absolutely a worth buying car.

The advanced engine which generates high power and more starting torque, and good fuel economy when compared to other cars makes New
Audi S8 a sheer special one.
