Please read the description for the Audi 2000, A6, 4.2 L, V8 as proven by Motortrend
Audi's new 4.2-liter 40-valve V-8, with a potent 300 horsepower coursing through its output shaft, will significantly change the A6 equation, give it a considerably more exuberant personality, and solidify the model as the center of the marque's North American offensive. While it will also be shared with the A8 (in a 310-horse version), this thoroughly modern eight-cylinder engine will likely provide the most noticeable punch in the lightweight A6, which could give this model the same type of attraction to performance-enthusiasts that the 540i enjoys within the BMW lineup.Technical highlights of this V-8 include a five-valve configuration that uses three intake and two exhaust valves, an electronic "drive-by-wire" throttle, variable camshaft control, and a three-stage magnesium intake manifold, which helps mold a flat, useable torque curve that holds its peak of 296 pound-feet from 3000 to 4000 rpm.The 4.2's power doesn't come on with a gutsy snap, but with a strong, fleet-footed takeoff that's smooth, quiet, and quick. Although our initial test drive in Germany was hampered by snowy weather (which the Quattro system handled in stride), the 4.2 displayed good acceleration, ample passing power on the autobahn, and an eager willingness to go deep into triple digits. Its subtle, distinctive exhaust note identifying its presence, the V-8 blends seamlessly with the rest of the A6 package, enhancing the car's fun factor and liveability, without calling undue attention to itself. In short, the 4.2-liter brings out the performance potential we always longed for in the A6.
Audi tests show the 4.2 can run from 0-100 kph (0-62 mph) in 6.9 seconds. If consistent with our tests, this would put the 4.2 slightly off the pace of its primary competition-the BMW 540i, Mercedes-Benz E430, and Lexus GS 400-which all make the sprint to 60 mph in between 5.5 and 6.2 seconds.The V-8 feeds power to a five-speed driver-adaptive automatic transmission with Tiptronic manual shifting, such as that used in the six-cylinder version. Power is then routed through Audi's Quattro full-time all-wheel-drive system to 235/50YR16 Dunlop SP5000 tires, mounted on 16-inch six-spoke wheels. For upgraded wheels and rubber, you could opt for a sport package, which adds 17-inch five-spoke wheels and 255/40YR17 Dunlop SP9000 high-performance tires, along with a tauter suspension and sport seats. Stopping, meanwhile, is effectively achieved with ventilated discs at all four wheels, high-performance four-piston aluminum calipers in the front, and ABS. Audi's Electronic Stability Program also adds an extra dimension of driver safety and control.To fit the V-8 comfortably into the A6 body, Audi reworked the car's front end, developing new aluminum hood and fenders, headlights, and bumper, which extends the car's front by about 1.6 inches. Other body changes from the current A6 include sill panel extensions along the lower edge, flared wheel openings, and a 1.4-inch-wider track. Meanwhile, a retuned suspension with new aluminum control arms has lowered the ride height by about 0.4-inch.Inside, the A6 4.2 offers a spoiling list of standard features. In addition to front airbags, the 4.2 includes side airbags for both front and rear passengers, plus Audi's new inflatable curtain-type bag, called Sideguard, designed to protect the heads of passengers in front and rear seats during a side impact. Another notable safety feature is the use of pretensioners at all three-point seatbelt locations. More improvements to the current A6's interior include steering-wheel-mounted audio controls that warn you of nearby objects, a larger-faced audio system with easier-to-access buttons and in-dash CD player, and revamped rear seat with more contoured outer positions and an expandable ski sack.On the options list is an acoustic parking system, Xenon headlights, hands-free telephone, and a scaled-down navigation system that's integrated into the driver information system in the instrument cluster. The system doesn't include a map display, but does provide visual and audio directions and is controlled through buttons in the center console.There's no denying that the 4.2-liter V-8 and its accompanying changes bring a welcome new dimension to the already inviting A6. Of course, with higher output and more overall potential comes higher pricing. While Audi isn't discussing specific pricing yet, the company assures us that it will be "fully competitive" with its primary competition, which should put it in the mid- to upper-$40,000 range. This also means higher expectations as it goes head to head with some of the world's best sport sedans. Is it up to the fight? Stay tuned.

Audi chooses A3 as its Super Bowl darling
Wed, 18 Dec 2013With Super Bowl XLVIII less than two months away, we're sure to hear plenty of news about automakers and their various plans for in-game commercials. Audi has announced that it will return for its seventh year of Super Bowl advertising, but few details were provided about the spot other than the fact that it will focus on the all-new 2015 A3.
The 60-second ad will air during the third quarter of the game, and while Audi did not say how much it is spending on the spot, Ad Age says that a 30-second commercial will average around $4 million for next year's Big Game. Last year, Audi's choose-your-own-adventure "Prom" commercial was the second favorite video in our unofficial poll of readers, but the competition should heat up even more this year with General Motors returning to Super Bowl advertising after taking a year off and Jaguar preparing its first-ever Super Bowl ad to introduce the F-Type Coupe.
Audi RS7 prototype is world's sportiest self-driving car [w/video]
Wed, 15 Oct 2014Audi may not be the only automaker out there toying with self-driving automobile technology, but it is arguably the fastest of them. A few years back, it raced unleashed a driverless TTS on the Bonneville Salt Flats, then sent it up Pikes Peak and around Thunderhill. But now it's taking things a step further with the vehicle you see here.
This RS7 Sportback has been fitted with steering, brakes, throttle and transmission hooked up to a computer system that combines GPS, high-frequency radio signals and 3D imaging camera to drive the vehicle autonomously not just in slow-paced, stop-and-go traffic, but around the track at the same pace a professional racing driver would push it: full throttle on the straights, full braking before the corner and 1.1-g of cornering force.
As promised, Audi plans to unleash the self-driving RS7 - which it calls "the sportiest piloted driving car in the world" - at Hockenheim next weekend prior to the DTM season finale, where it is anticipated to pull a 2:10 lap time. The next stage will be to set it lose on the Nürburgring Nordschleife, all 154 turns and 13 miles of it, which ought to pose a heck of a challenge to the engineers from Ingolstadt. In the meantime you can scope it out in the high-res image gallery above and the second teaser video below.
Audi builds 3-millionth A3
Sun, 21 Jul 2013About a month after Volkswagen celebrated building its 30-millionth example of the Golf, Audi has announced that it has produced three million versions of its small hatchback, the closely related Audi A3. Probably more surprising than the fact that the A3 has moved in such big numbers since its global debut in 1996 is the fact that it has done so with relatively little support in the US, seeing marginal sales in the States since 2005.
The three-millionth A3 was a Sportback TDI model, but the lineup has grown this year to include a new sedan and S3 model, and the hybrid A3 E-tron is on the way. With these new models - especially the sedan in the US - we expect the A3 to continue to be a popular entrant in the premium small segment. Scroll down for Audi's official press release.
