Audi RS5 Cabriolet from Audi London

Audi RS5 convertible or cabriolet, whichever you call it. I saw Audi RS5 at Audi’s techno showroom in London. You might be saying that, RS5 is at the end of its product life cycle, nothing looks really special and I would agree on that if this post was for A5.
However, this is RS5 and this means one thing, it has a lunatic engine! It is one of the most powerful convertible cars on market with Audi precision interior with the same stiffness at each button and seamless gap between the parts. And also, the interior of the Audi RS5 does not look that out-dated like its interior.
The main thing I liked with the Audi RS5 is the combination of the performance embedded with the invisibility. Unlike BMW M3 or Mercedes C63 AMG, no one will realise the RS5 and you won’t be noticed on everywhere. And I can imagine that, the steering wheel is not well connected like BMW and has the tendency to understeer but still a very good car.
Audi RS5 cabriolet is powered by a 4.2-lt V8 FSI engine with 450 HP and 430 Nm of torque. RS5 only needs 4.9 seconds to 100 km/h and limited to 250 km/h top speed.

Red Audi R8 Spyder

Audi R8 V10 Spyder in red. R8 is not my favourite car but I cannot deny the fact that, it is a great car by Audi. Unfortunately, R8 is getting old and we don’t notice it. Audi revealed the R8 back in 2006 and it is nearly more than 7 years. We moaned, criticised, loved, hated the R8 but never remembered the passing time. Everyone thinks that, Audi R8 is a new car. So how this happens? Thanks to its design. This design makes the R8 still appealing and motivating me to take its photo at Audi’s latest digital showroom in London. 
Red Audi R8 Spyder is the facelifted model with V10 engine. This V10 produces 525 HP with 530 Nm of torque and only needs 4.1 seconds to reach 100 km/h with manual gearbox, so avoid the manual! And the top speed is 310 km/h! Very satisfying results for a car with a metal top :)

Audi S6 Avant from London

Audi S6 Avant. Avant means estate and estate means boring, thus Audi S6 is boring according to this assumption. But this is a theoretical assumption that does not represent the real world condition. Audi S6 Avant is not boring and it is an estate. This is a real contradiction when we talk about the super fast cars and their boot capacity.

Last week, I had chance to see the Audi S6 Avant at Audi’s newest London dealer. S6 Avant does not look boring or designed only for families. It does have a different type of charm despite its enormous boots space. If I had chance, I would definitely bought this S6 Avant right away.

The dynamic design of the Audi S6 hinders the dullness of the estate car. And you just ignore that ugly huge boot space. Also the interior quality of the S6 is class leading. Thanks to know-how transfer from Bentley for craftsmanship, Audi S6 offers the most precise interior on its segment. The materials, the stiffness of the knobs while turning and the sounds of the button clicks are the signals of the quality. These things do not change your driving experience but improves your experience inside the vehicle and represent the production quality.

Also, I cannot ignore the Google Maps navigation! It is Google Maps, we all know that it is the best navigation software on the market. And also the user interface is very easy to use and you don’t get lost. However, the pixel density of the navigation screen is not close enough to Apple’s Retina Display technology. I hope they will improve this.

Audi S6 Avant is powered by 4-lt TFSI petrol engine with 420 HP and 550 Nm of torque. Engine is coupled with 7-speed S-Tronic automatic gearbox. S6 Avant only needs 4.7 seconds to reach 100 km/h with the top speed of 250 km/h.

An Angry Spanish Destroys An Audi A8

An angry Spanish destroys an Audi A8. Actually, he did his best but the Audi A8 survived from the extreme. The driver, everyone assumes he is Spanish, did an accident. And instead of waiting for a tow truck he decided to free the Audi A8 by himself and make more damage as well.
The state-of-art engineered Audi A8 eventually left the accident. And interestingly, there is a no sign of police. I really cannot understand why no one called the police while someone is acting so extreme and violent.

New Audi A3 Sedan: New Audi A4 Competitor?

Audi A3 Sedan, everyone was expecting to see a sedan version of the Audi A3. A3 is the leader of the luxury hatchback market. Even the presence of Mercedes A-Class or the BMW 1-Series could not manage to take the place of the Audi A3. Literally, if you want a luxury hatchback you first consider the Audi A3. However, until this time people were stuck with the Audi A3 hatchback or jump to Volkswagen Jetta. However, Jetta is not at the same level with the Audi A3.
The Audi A3 offers new standards to market such as; Bang & Olufsen sound system and leather upholstery are some of the improvements for the competition. 
A3 is powered by these engines: 1,4 TFSI 4-cylinder petrol engine with 140 HP / 250 Nm of torque; 8,4 seconds to reach 100 km/h and top speed of 213 km/h. 1,8 TFSI 4-cylinder petrol engine with 180 HP / 250 Nm of torque; 7,3 seconds to reach 100 km/kh and 235 km/h top speed. And the diesel is; 2-lt TDI four-cylinder with 150 HP / 320 Nm of torque. 8,7 seconds are enough to reach 100 km/h and top speed is 220 km/h.
Lastly, if Audi does not improve the interior space of the upcoming Audi A4; A3 Sedan may catch some of the customers from the A4. Because, A3 Sedan looks quite similar to A4 and if the legroom and interior is not that different, you may see some customers shifting from A4 to A3 Sedan.
Also, I really wonder who is going to order Bang & Olufsen in an A3. This option is way too expensive!

Mercedes New S-Class 2014 (W222) Photos are Here with Katy Perry

New Mercedes S-Klasse, sorry S-Class is revealed. New S-Class offers more technology, more safety, more power, more efficiency, more conservative look and more similarity to E-Class like in 1990s. Today, WorldCarFans.com revealed the spy photos of the new S-Class and it looks fantastic. However, if we didn’t have the E-Class on production!
Unfortunately, Mercedes went back on time and decided to design their cars based on 1990s philosophy. From C-Class to S-Class, they will look the same from the front. I was very happy when the S-Class (W220) was introduced in 1998 with a distinctive look, but we are back to beginning of 1990s with this new S-Class. My opinion, Mercedes realised that Audi is making a lot of money by similarly looking cars. But the reality is different!
Audi A8 does look like Audi A6, A6 looks like A4. Thus; Audi A8 looks like A4. And many people buy Audi A8 for this reason. Audi A8 is the only large luxury saloon, which does not pose on the road. No one realises how expensive the A8 is, or cannot understand difference between A6 and A8. By this way, you can go around everywhere without even been noticed by people. That’s what I like with Audi.
However, this does not work with Mercedes. When there is a star on a bonnet, the game is over! That’s a Mercedes. 
This new S-Class is the über conservative model since 1990s. When you look around the S-Class, you understand the influence of Maybach, F700 concept car and conservative concern in every single detail. And this confused me a lot! One side of me says, new S-Class looks fantastic and excites me; on the other hand I really don’t want to see one! Designers did their job very well. 
The interior is really well made as I can see from the photos but I need to see in real life to feel the quality of the materials. As I noticed, the new S-Class does not offer 8-zone climate control like in Rolls Royce. So, still S-Class has long way to catch up with Rolls Royce.
In my opinion, new S-Class will bring back the conservative consumers and confuse some the young generation consumers. New S-Class offers so many safety system, I really cannot write it now. Literally, S-Class has everything except ejection seat and emergency slide. Moreover, this new model definitely headed for the Bentley. The design philosophy for the interior is a very supporting statement. On the other hand, the tendency to offer wide range engine becomes a weakness for S-Class to compete with Bentley. Bentley is exclusive and people buy them because they can afford to run a huge petrol engine.
Whether you don’t like the S-Class like me or love it like many people. After this car is on market, it will be a serious competitor. I cannot say that Bentley will lose customers and Rolls Royce will a small scope earthquake. These brands are über exclusive and really hard to take their place. But I really appreciate the effort of Mercedes.
I still go for an Audi A8 W12, no one really knows the W12 and no one really understand how expensive it is. And A8 is the only visible car with stealth mode always on. If you don’t want to show your money, go for an A8.
Lastly, as you may noticed Mercedes did subconscious advertisement. Just look at the climate control screen and you will see the California Gurls / Katy Perry. I really don’t why Mercedes place this three year old but still exciting song. I think, Mercedes tried to give a message to our subconscious  New S-Class may look conservative but it is extremely young deep inside ;)
So, here is the Katy Perry, enjoy ;)

5 000 000 the Audi with Quattro

Audi Quattro, the four-wheel drive system of Audi. 5 000 000 th car in 33 years.
I am definitely sure, you come across with an Audi Quattro in your life at least once. Some of you might recognised it, some of you never realised it. Audi Quattro is the best-recognised four-wheel drive technology in passenger vehicles. Because, Quattro was the first four-wheel technology in passenger vehicles. Later on Mercedes and BMW followed this trend.
Audi Quattro evolved from during the 33 years and the latest one features in Audi A6 allroad 3.0 TDI. Whoever will buy this A6 allroad 3.0 TDI will have the 5 000 000 th Quattro car in the world.
If you have time, try to drive an Audi with Quattro on rain or snow. You won’t understand the difference on dry tarmac that much.

Audi S6 Super Bowl Commercial with Three Ending. Audi S6 Boy vs. Prom King (aka Stifler from American Pie)

Super Bowl 2013 is coming, and Audi released their commercial for the event with Audi S6. Actually, Audi released three different ends (Tradition, Buddies, and Worth It) for the commercial each of them is one minutes and still aired in US channels. 
The story of Audi S6 commercial is; a high school boy will attend prom night (I have no idea what is that) and his father gives the keys of his Audi S6. Then the boy, goes to prom night and looks for prom queen and kisses her. After that the big boy, prom king or whatever runs after him. As the prom king is psychically larger and lack of predicting the consequences in future, he beats up the Audi S6 boy.
There are three ends for the Audi S6’s Super Bowl commercial. The first one (Tradition) is he is beaten up and heading back to home and the camera focuses on a photograph, his father did the same and the prom queen is her mother. Second end is (Buddies), he drives the Audi S6 again but with his friends and they were all excited. Honestly this ends sounds too boring. And the third end is (Worth It), he drives the Audi S6 again and shouts! 
I think the romantic end and shouting end will be head to head.
My opinion, Audi S6 boy will eventually become very rich by making an iPhone application called miinstagram in future and the big boy aka Stifler from American Pie will not have a fancy life! And we all know that, those big boys do not end as big boy in the life. Because, muscles do not work in real life. So the prom queen should prefer the Audi S6 boy.
Support the Audi S6 boy from Twitter by #BraveryWins
Audi S6 is powered by a twin-turbo 4-lt petrol engine with 420 HP and 550 Nm of torque. And this engine also features in Bentley Continental V8 models. S6 accelerates to 100 km/h in 4,6 seconds and top speed is limited to 250 km/h. However, limited top speed hinders the bravery! Audi should remove the top speed limiter for bravery :)
