The new Q7 is becoming a more common sight but even now, after having spent a whole week with Audi’s large luxury SUV, I still get the impression that the show’s over. The first generation Q7 was bold, large, in your face and unmistakingly Audi, yet the new one is …

COSTA BRAVA, Spain – The title says it all for the second-generation R8 Spyder. The new head honcho at Audi Sport was proud to present the vehicle to us and also took the time to inform us of his new role within the group: he’ll be laying the groundwork for …

The Audi Q5 was unveiled just last week at the Paris Motor Show, but The Car Guide is already packing its bags for an exclusive preview of the vehicle at the new model’s assembly plant in San José Chiapa, Mexico. In fact, the next-gen Q5 will be made at a …

CIRCUITO DEL JARAMA, Spain – It’s the sound that’s addictive. The husky, almost staccato sound that the TT RS coupe’s five-cylinder turbo engine made at full throttle on the Circuito del Jarama may as well be a hard drug. The evocative sound of the inline-five stems from its 1-2-4-5-3 firing …

The Car Guide is heading to Madrid, Spain in order to get behind of the wheel of the all-new Audi TT RS on both the region’s roadways and on the Jarama track, where Gilles Villeneuve won his last Formula One race for Ferrari in 1981. I was at the world …

Audi introduced the A5 in 2007, and will be launching the second-generation of the sporty coupe in Portugal this week. We’ll be there to drive it. The newest Audi A5 features new, slightly sharper lines, and boasts a weight reduction of up to 60 kg. Speed-sensitive steering has been incorporated …

The new 2018 Audi S4 is just that, all new. While the Canadian power numbers have not been finalized, we can expect around 354bhp and 368lb/ft of torque. That will go through an eight speed tiptronic that now has "freewheeling" as a standard function. Of course there is Quattro all …
