The Audi RS6 Avant GT is a limited-edition, petrol-powered super-estate car that serves as a farewell to Audi's petrol-powered models before transitioning to electric vehicles. Only 660 units of the RS6 Avant GT will be produced, with all units already sold despite its high price tag.

The Audi A6 Avant e-tron is a new electric estate model that competes with BMW and Mercedes in the executive car segment. It offers a range of up to 437 miles and has a stylish cabin, but is less efficient and practical compared to its Sportback sibling. Despite its impressive features and performance, the Avant may not be the most logical choice due to its higher cost and lower efficiency. [Extracted from the article]

The article evaluates several electric Sport utility vehicles including the Audi Q4 e-tron, the BMW iX1 and the Mercedes EQV.

And ensure the clutch isn't slipping or biting high Before you buy The biggest criticism of the RS2 in normal driving was its turbo lag and vicious power delivery when the turbo spooled up above 3000rpm: it could make overtaking tricky, especially in the lower gears, though it became addictive with experience. THE MARKET PLACE The first of the RS series and the fastest-ever Audi road car at its introduction (more powerful even than the Sport quattro), the RS2 was a typically mouldbreaking creation promoted by Ferdinand Piëch shortly before he left Audi to head up the VW Group. Most cars have had suspension tweaks as they have moved from being new cars used for high-performance-estate duties, to enthusiast cars where handling is more important than ride comfort.

You'll pay around £50,000 for an early 30,000- mile E63 S today, which sounds like a bargain for what was a near £90,000 V8 express when new. To squeeze extra muscle from the V8, it's worth noting that the swansong Edition 507 used the Performance Pack engine with a revised ECU for 500bhp, so there is more potential in the hardware. Read on for a shortlist of our favourites AUDI RS4 (B7) Still the RS4 by which all others are measured THE B7 RS4 IS AN ANOMALY. [Extracted from the article]

Alternatives THE A1's biggest rival is the five-door MINI hatchback, which also comes with three and four-cylinder petrol engines, plus a diesel option that had been axed by the time the A1 Mk2 arrived. Audi was the first, with its original A3 of 1996, and of the three premium German brands it's also Audi that offers the smallest hatchback of all (Smart and MINI sub-brands aside). WHEN a car maker tries to move upmarket, the effects can be disastrous, but when a premium brand offers smaller cars for those who are less well heeled, it's rarely a bad decision.

In 2024, Tesla Inc. surpassed Audi in global car sales, delivering 1.79 million vehicles compared to Audi's 1.67 million, marking a significant milestone for the electric car company. Audi faced challenges in Europe and China due to competition and weak demand for electric models, leading to a decline in sales. German automakers, including Volkswagen, Mercedes-Benz, and BMW, struggled with tepid luxury car demand in China and lower-than-expected EV sales in Europe, resulting in profit warnings. Despite facing some setbacks, Tesla maintained its position as the top seller of fully electric cars in 2024, narrowly beating China's BYD Co. [Extracted from the article]

In another deviation from its ancestors, the B3 was also the first 80 that didn't share a platform with the Volkswagen Passat, a decision based on the latter car switching to a transverse-engine layout. And without any "distracting" bells and whistles, this one - from Audi's UK heritage fleet - gives us a good chance to re-evaluate the core car. "The optional Sport pack adds a small and oh-so eighties rear wing plus a set of artificial split-rim 15-inch wheels" THE B3 Audi 80 was at the centre of all sorts of technological milestones in the marque's history.

The car responds well to being turned in on the brakes - and even though the weight distribution is what a modern engineer might call "sub-optimal", once you can tuck the front end in with some extra weight on the nose the car starts to behave with a more neutral balance. We're told not to touch the throttle at the risk of flooding the engine, so we simply push a nondescript black button to initiate the starter motor, which churns over slowly before the 2.1-litre engine catches into life with a near-deafening bassy rumble inside the cabin - and that's with this car's small exhaust silencer. Once there, you can get the car rolling (or sometimes kangarooing) before letting the clutch out fully a few moments later once the machine has built up some momentum. The common theme running through all of these cars bar for this RS 3 is that, given where those five cylinders were often located within the body, Audi's engineers often fought physics hard when it came to extracting agility from the brand's machines.

Thousands of workers gathered in Brussels to protest the possible closure of an Audi car factory. The protesters, including workers from Belgium and the Czech Republic, marched towards the European Parliament, calling for an end to Chinese "dumping" of industrial products. The closure of the Audi factory highlights concerns about the loss of European industries as the continent leads in the climate transition and faces competition from cheaper competitors abroad. The European Commission is planning to impose tariffs on Chinese-made electric vehicles, and former European Central Bank President Mario Draghi has called for significant investment to maintain Europe's competitiveness. The green transition has also led to unrest in Brussels, with farmers protesting over costs and environmental regulations. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen faces the challenge of enacting green goals while keeping core economic sectors on board. [Extracted from the article]

Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut has alleged that a food bill with "beef cutlet" was found in the car of state Bharatiya Janata Party President Chandrashekhar Bawankule's son, who was involved in a drunk-and-drive accident. Raut accused the ruling MahaYuti of attempting a cover-up operation and criticized the BJP for promoting Hindutva while consuming beef. However, the Nagpur Deputy Commissioner of Police denied the allegations, stating that there was no mention of beef in the bill. Raut and his colleague Sushma Andhare have accused the police of trying to suppress the investigation due to political pressure. This incident follows a previous controversy involving Bawankule's alleged gambling in Macau. [Extracted from the article]

The police have collected blood samples from both the son, Sanket Bawankule, and the driver, Arjun Haware, for analysis. While preliminary investigations suggest that Sanket Bawankule was intoxicated, this will be confirmed after medical reports are received. The incident has sparked a political controversy, with opposition leaders accusing the government of going easy on the case due to the involvement of the BJP chief's son.

Audi has other S and RS offerings to stoke enthusiastic interest, but for Genesis, its GV80 is tasked with covering off a sporty base with what's otherwise unabashedly a luxury proposition. Both SUVs offer neat power folding 50:50-split third-row seatbacks, but as five-seaters the Audi takes the boot space victory with 770 litres against the Genesis's 727 litres, though tailor-fit slide/tilt seat functionality in both makes any difference largely academic. IF BYSTANDER attention and commentary were Wheels ratings criteria, the Genesis GV80 would hose this comparison. [Extracted from the article]

About it seriously-because whatever you include in your all-time top ten list of cars inevitably says more about what you didn't choose, rather than what you did. Unlike the Lamborghini Sian FKP-37, which is a ridiculous car that costs an incomprehensible amount of money and is therefore not a car you'd want to let out terribly often. Beyond this, the Speciale also represents an end point for Ferrari's V8 road cars, all of which have gone in a different direction subsequently, one that has inevitably involved turbochargers and effective but rarely beautiful aerodynamics.

The Audi A1 Mk2 is ranked 43rd in a survey conducted by Auto Express. While it has a premium feel, it only ranks 17th for drivetrain smoothness and 18th for visibility from the driver's seat. Front-seat comfort is 36th, interior quality and finish is 45th, and ride quality and braking responsiveness/smoothness are 48th. Value for money is not great, but owners appreciate the safety systems and sat-nav. The A1's practicality is also lacking. Overall, the A1 is described as sporty-looking but less exciting on the road, with limited engine choices. [Extracted from the article]

THE RS3 HAS GONE. Like many Audis of old the front-to-rear torque split will only go to 50:50, but the RS Torque Splitter differential can send all of the rear axle's share to the outside-rear wheel, giving a much more neutral balance and the illusion that the bias is much more rearward. Against the might of the BMW M4 Competition xDrive on a filthy, bitterly cold test up on the Scottish Borders, the RS3 felt like it was trying too hard and the trick clutch-actuated torque-vectoring rear diff created extreme agility but not as much confidence as we expected.
