THE THUNDEROUS M5 CS MAY BE ONE OF BMW'S LAST GREAT PETROL CARS. The e-Tron GT is the first electric Audi to wear an RS badge, and although it shares a great deal of its DNA with the Porsche Taycan, it's very much its own character in look, feel and approach. While the Q4 e-Tron is the mainstream electric SUV Audi plans to sell a blue million of, the e-Tron GT's job is to be the sexbomb flagship to sprinkle a bit of stardust on the e-Tron brand. SOCKET TO M: THE RS E-TRON GT IS AUDI'S NEW ELECTRIC FLAGSHIP. [Extracted from the article]

IN response to the question "How do you make a 600-hp sports sedan?" Although the GT63 is the only one in the group without a middle seat, its rear seats offer more room and support than the Audi's or the BMW's. To make it easy to quickly recall your favorite setup for steering effort, transmission aggression, brake feel, throttle response, stability control, and exhaust volume, BMW fits two programmable M modes. The Audi RS7, the BMW M8 Competition Gran Coupe, and the Mercedes-AMG GT63 S are heavyweights in price and performance. [Extracted from the article]

Audi is planning to introduce a local production cloud in its factories worldwide. The Edge-Cloud-4-Production System (EC4P) enables the scaling of digital control systems, digital twins, and virtual reality. The system has been successfully tested in the Audi Production Lab and allows for the elimination of many individual computers and hardware in the production lines. Audi also sees potential for the creation and use of digital twins, as well as improving production planning through virtual tools. The implementation of these new systems requires retraining and further education of the teams. [Extracted from the article]

Despite its 4.4-litre engine boasting another 401cc of swept capacity over the RS7, the BMW can't match the Audi's outputs. Still, the BMW is lighter than the Audi, despite the latter's much-vaunted aluminium componentry, the M850i tipping the scales at 1995kg before options and the Audi 2065kg. To that end, Audi retained the fundamentals with this new version of the RS7; a 4.0-litre V8 driving all four wheels through an eight-speed automatic transmission draped in a chiselled liftback body.

That's because up until recently Audi hasn't had a presence in this sector, while BMW and Volvo - along with Mercedes - have offered PHEV versions of their executive saloons for a few years now. AUDI'S plug-in A6 saloon is available in four trim levels, starting with the Sport model we've tested here. [Extracted from the article]

WITH 2020 firmly (and thankfully) in the rear-view mirror, it's time to look ahead at some of the bold and exciting new cars that will be rolling into showrooms over the next 12 months. The supermini finally switches to the VW Group's MQB platform - already used by its sister car, the SEAT Ibiza-and this gives Skoda's designers the chance to add some of the visual dynamism we've seen with cars such as the Kamiq baby SUV.

FOR THE FIRST TIME IN AUSTRALIA, WE GATHER THE FINEST QUATTROS FROM EACH OF THE FOUR DECADES OF PRODUCTION, OKAY, SO WE BENT THE RULES A TINY BIT THIS ALL STARTED with the Audi Al. The RS4 feels modern, despite being 15 years old now, and for many it resides in a serendipitous spot where we had great engines, adaptive suspension and decent safety systems, but backed that up with classic features like hydraulically assisted power steering and the availability of a V8 engine and manual gearbox combination. 4-seat coupe ENGINE 2226CC inline-five, DOHC, 2Qv, turbo POWER 'K @ 5900rpm TORQUE 3Q9Nm @ 1950rpm TRANSMISSION 5-speed manual WEIGHT 1380kg USED RANGE $125,000+ RS2AVANT 5-door, 5-seat wagon 2226cc inline-five, DOHC. 20v, trubo 232kW @ 6500rpm 410Nm @ 3000rpm 6-speed manual 1595kg $90,000+ AUDI RS4 4-door, 5-seat sedan 4163cc V8, DOHC, 32v 309kW @ 7800rpm 430Nm @5500rpm 6-speed manual 1685kg $55.000+ AUDI R8 VIO PERF. 2-door, 2-seat coupe 5204CC V10, DOHC.

Many used models are high-spec cars with loads of kit, and thanks to Kia's seven-year warranty, even cars that are five years old still have some factory guarantee left on them. Mitsubishi L200 2005-2015 Di-D Warrior Double Cab (2015/15, 48k miles, £13,780, from buyacar.co.uk) THE L200 isn't exactly an SUV, but the double-cab version can double as a family car.

This brace of unique, Ghia-crafted Ford Probe concept cars has that effect. It was nowhere near as radical, of course, but its smooth, grille-less nose and rounded form afforded an alleged drag coefficient of 0.29Cd.

It's 40 years since Audi launched the seminal Quattro. Quattro, specifically the Ur-Quattro as this original, definitive generation became known, is to Audi as Carrera is to Porsche: the characteristic handling, the exotic soundtrack, even the awkward gearchange and slightly naff interior, they're all part of what makes this car a symbol of 1980s thrusting young things as much as any 911. There, in the winter of 1976/77, all the cars, including an Iltis, were driven by various engineers, including Ferdinand Piëch, who was Audi's technical director. And so Gumpert had meetings with Audi chassis engineer Jörg Bensinger, who managed to persuade Piëch of the benefits of four-wheel drive for safety and handling in a road car.

Similarly, even if a Tesla is mostly driving itself, there's still a human who can slam on the brakes - which is a luxury that "real" autonomous vehicles won't have. Level 2: The car can drive itself "hands off", but the human driver must pay attention to the road and be ready to jump in at any moment. Level 1: Cars with systems such as adaptive cruise control, which vary speed based on the car ahead, or lane-keeping systems that gently steer to keep you in between the lines.

The Qashqai story began in 2002 when Nissan started work on a replacement for the Almera hatchback. 10 GAME CHANGERS The cars that broke the mould We've reviewed hundreds of models over the past 35 years, but these are the ones that our team believes really made a difference WHEN it comes to naming the most important car of the past 35 years, a pretty good place to start is with the car that, five years ago, took the title of the most important car of the last 30 years. It's no surprise that the forthcoming Omoda C5 and Seres 3 not only look like the Qashqai, but they're within millimetres of the Nissan's dimensions - those brands know what works.

The new RS6, based on the eighth-generation A6 Avant, is an important car for Audi Sport, in many ways defining the brand even more than the R8. It's the DRC-equipped car that I nab first, and settling down into a typically slick high-end Audi cabin, it feels spacious, relaxing, and very refined. The question now is whether the 22-inch wheels can cope with the UK's broken road surfaces, or whether the 21-inch option makes for a better RS6, and indeed, whether the DRC's advantage over "air" is retained.

We see if the Mercedes EQC has the better of the Audi e-tron The EQC is just as comfortable as the Audi, although the e-tron deals with lumpy surfaces at low speed slightly better than the Mercedes. THE Audi e-tron is £2,300 cheaper (£72,310) than our EQC test car in AMG Line Premium Plus trim. JUST as the EQC uses parts shared with Mercedes' GLC, the e-tron is based on Audi's MLB architecture. But at higher speeds the Audi took some ground back from the Mercedes, taking just 2.6 seconds to go from 50-70mph, which was 0.3 seconds faster than the EQC's 2.9-second time.

LIKE A BORED CHILD on a long car trip, an advanced-vehicle enthusiast can be forgiven for asking, "Are we there yet?" The rollout and adoption of cars that use alternative energy or that drive themselves has been maddeningly slow. IEEE Spectrum's Top 10 Tech Cars has also been posing and pondering that question every year. • Alternative-energy cars, at least in the United States, face head winds in the form of cheap gasoline and the Trump administration's efforts to loosen fuel-economy standards and other climate-change-related regulations. On the self-driving front, it's become painfully clear that the hype has far outrun the reality. • Even so, electric cars really are trickling down to mainstream buyers and budgets. A fine example is the Hyundai Kona Electric crossover, which was a clear choice for our Top 10. And self-driving technology itself really is infiltrating almost every new car on the road, sometimes in ways that aren't immediately apparent to owners: If your new car is equipped with adaptive cruise control, automated emergency braking, or a lane-keeping system, it is locking onto a path toward full autonomy. It's just not as far down that path as some have suggested we'd be by now. This year, though, an important milestone comes in the form of a BMW 3-Series car that can take all the guesswork out of tricky reverse maneuvers. But now, eyes front for this year's Top 10.
