Top Luxury Cars | First Test: 2010 Audi R8 V-10


What's the difference in the V-10 engines that power the top Audi and Lamborghini's crown prince? As it turns out, not much. Both share the same basic components and architecture: a 90-degree V-angle, DOHC 4-valves per cylinder top end, mostly aluminum construction. The forged-steel crankshaft and connecting rods and forged aluminum pistons providing a 12.5:1 compression ratio are also shared by both sports cars.

According to Volkswagen AG's powertrain head Wolfgang Hatz and Audi's V-8 and V-10 chief Jurgen Jablonski, the differences are subtle and restricted to intake and exhaust details. Engine mapping-combinations of ignition timing, fuel delivery, valve timing, and operation of the muffler bypass valves-differs to give the Lamborghini engine a more urgent and aggressive personality versus the Audi's slightly steadier, more sedate characteristics. Minor differences in the shape of the intake ports and the configuration of the twin intake plenums topping each engine are also present. While exhaust headers are basically the same, the layout of the mufflers differs significantly according to the space available under each car and the auditory flavor desired by each brand.

Lamborghini chose an untamed in-your-face howl that starts early and lasts until the revs run out at 8700 rpm. Audi R8 engineers selected a deeper, less frenetic voice. Stand on the gas in the Gallardo and the V-10 overwhelms the cockpit with an Italian serenade. In the Audi, triggering the throttle hurtles you expeditiously away from a wake roiling with dust and commotion.

The stats tell the rest of the story. The Lamborghini engine tops at with 552 versus the R8's 525 horsepower at 8000 rpm. The more expensive Gallardo also tops Audi's torque with 398 lb-ft versus the R8's 391 lb-ft at 6500 rpm. While both cars are quick, R8 drivers will enjoy a clear view of a rapidly shrinking Gallardo's rear bumper when the green flag drops.

Top Luxury Cars - Audi A4 or BMW 3-Series?

In the ever so popular entry-level luxury car segment, the BMW 3-series is a huge seller, and the benchmark. Audi's A4 has been no sitting duck either though, selling a crazy number of units as well. So which one is really better?

Well, I wasn't big on Audis previously. I saw them as glorified Volkswagens, partly, because most of them are. No companies can be accused of platform sharing as much as VW and Audi. They use the same platform for the Jetta, Golf, GTI, Passat, Beetle, A4 and A6. They stretch it and shrink it as necessary, but it's essentially the same chassis. So you can understand why I would look at an A6 and say... I wonder if that guy knows he's driving an XL Jetta.

My opinion on Audis changed quite a bit after owning a VW GTI VR6. Even at more than 110,000 miles on the odometer, the GTI tracks straight and true, solid as ever. There's a certain solidity that all German cars have that is very addictive. It's not that they're actually better built - the reliability is actually shameful, and nothing compared to the appliance-like Japanese cars. However, the perception of the solidity is still appealing. And so Audis are appealing to drive, as I found. But so are higher-end Volkswagens, and they feel strangely similar. We'll have to look at a lot more to find out whether the Audi A4 is worth it.

In terms of driving dynamics, while the A4 is very, very good, the 3-series is downright excellent. Nothing compares to the rear-drive, 50-50 weight balance, great steering feel, engine sound and fun-to-drive nature of the 3-series for anywhere near its price. If that is the most important thing to you, your decision is clear.

Not everyone looks at driving dynamics alone though. Let's talk about styling. BMWs look good, but I consider Audis and their Bauhaus style to be at the very top of mainstream cars. It's also understood that Audi designs some of the best interiors in the business. Fit, finish, colour choice, everything is superb and looks top-notch, better than just about every competitor. If the styling and interior are most important to you, your decision is clear as well.

Since both cars are similarly sized, it comes down to value. The A4 is cheaper than the 3-series, especially in front-drive four-cylinder form, but if you're looking at the front-drive 4-cylinder A4, you should probably have a look at the Jetta too, which offers the same chassis, engine and transmission for a lot less. On the other hand, you can look at it as a cheap way of getting into an Audi (but you'll miss a lot of the experience). Thing is, when you look at a Quattro V6 A4, the prices are right in line with a 3-series, and the value proposition doesn't quite look the same when an A4 can go up twenty grand in price.

I'd say that on the lower end of the scale, the A4 is the better choice, and if you're going to spend more, go for the 3-series.

Top Luxury Cars - The Audi R8 V10

Audi's preparing the new V10 version of the R8, to start at a jaw-dropping $147,200. The R8 has received a lot of glowing reviews, which is to be expected from a very stylish, mid-engined German sports car based on the Lamborghini Gallardo platform.

The R8 is supposed to be a comfortable, luxurious two-seater, a GT if you will, that can perform very well. It definitely achieves those targets, without a doubt, but it's an Audi. Priced in the neighbourhood of Ferraris, Lamborghinis and Aston Martins. You shouldn't have to tell people that it's a Gallardo under the skin or that it is mid-engined, they should just know what it's about when it's above a hundred grand.

As much as I like the R8, I think that it is grossly overpriced. Here's my logic. The V8 R8 is around $115 grand, give or take. Also very expensive. The engine it has is Audi's direct-injection 4.2-liter V8 from the RS4, producing 420 horsepower. I consider that engine equivalent to BMW's 4.0-liter V8 in the M3 with 420 horsepower, Lexus' 5-liter 420-hp V8 in the IS-F and Mercedes' similarly-powered, hand-built 6.3-liter AMG V8. All those cars are priced between fifty grand and seventy grand. So if you take an engine from cars in that price range, and combine it with a borrowed platform that is not specifically made for the car, that car should be priced more reasonable. I would say seventy to eighty grand.

Cars above a hundred grand are something else. You can't use borrowed platforms and engines in this price bracket; that's just absurd! That borrowed engine doesn't have the charm of Ferrari's legendary V8 in the F430 or the awesome staccato bark of the mighty V12 in the Aston Martins. Its just not right!

So apart from overpricing and a lack of character, charm and inspiration, is there anything else that I find wrong about the R8? Yes. Performance. Since your R8 doesn't have the prestige of Ferrari, Lamborghini and Aston Martin, it must have something else, right? Luxury? Yes, but the Mercedes SL-class has that better covered. Reliability? No, the Japanese own the rights to that. Looks? Well yes, but any better than the Italians? No. So the performance must be stunning, right? That depends on what you're comparing it to.


It has the same acceleration times as the car it borrows its engine from, the RS4. Also the same as the Mercedes C63, BMW M3 and Lexus IS-F. If its performance you want, there's a little thing they call Godzilla. Yes, for seventy-three grand, it is more than an entire second faster to 60 than the R8 and pull more than 1 G on the skidpad. The GT-R is also reliable, being hand-built in Japan.

So overall, how does the R8 fare? Fail.

Audi e-tron Concept



We know, you've heard the name before. But that's all the Detroit Show Car e-tron has in common with the e-tron you saw at the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show. And as you can see from the curves, that's not a bad thing. Sporting an uncharacteristically long hood and a taut decklid, the electric car is a new direction in design for Audi and another resounding success. Sporting 204 horsepower and an unbelievable 1,954 lb-ft of torque from twin electric motors, the car should accelerate to 60 mph in less than six seconds and have a range of around 155 miles.

Audi: 100 years of Car Making History


Karl Freidrich Benz was the man who created the first true automobile, Henry Ford visualised and created the first assembly line for mass production of large numbers of automobiles, both men played a crucial part in auto making history, but we cannot talk about auto making history without mentioning Audi.

Audi was founded by August Horch in 1909, the year he was forced out of the company he founded in 1899. In the beginning, Horch continued to trade under the Horch brand, but after his partners sued him for trademark infringement, he was forced to come up with another name for his company; it was then that the Audi name came up.

During a meeting in Franz Fikentschers' apartment to come up with a new name for the company, Franz's son who was studying Latin at the time (common in those days), suggested that instead of Horch they used Audi which mean "Hark!" or "Horch" German for "hear" and the idea was accepted by everyone attending the meeting.

The first models produced by Audi were the 2,612 cc 2.6 litre 4 cylinder model, followed by a 3564 cc 3.6 litre model, as well as 4680 cc 4.7 L and 5720 cc 5.7L models. In 1921 Audi was the first German car manufacturer to build a left-hand drive production car, the Audi Type K.

Audi Models of the 1920's were luxurious and were becoming successful in the racing tracks, in the early 30's Audi merged with Horch, DKW and Wanderer to form Auto Union.

With the creation of Auto Union the four overlapping rings badge was created to represent the union of the four German car manufacturers. The Auto Union era is best known for its success in the racing tracks. The Silver Arrows dominated the GP car racing from 1934 onwards and established records that were only equalled in the early 80's by turbocharged F1 cars.

We'll skip the WW II and Post War periods, I jump all the way to early 80's when introduced the Quattro four wheel drive and the Audi Quattro, commonly know at the time as Ur-Quattro, a turbocharged coupé that dominated the rally tracks in the 80's and was the first German car to be produced in large scale featuring permanent all-wheel-drive (Quattro).

In 1985 Auto Union was officially dead and Audi shortened its name to Audi AG. Over the following years Audi introduced less successful models like the Audi 80 and the Audi 90.

Audi's big break happened in 1994 with the introduction of the Audi A4, a predecessor for the Audi 80, the Audi A4 gain recognition and sales went up which led Audi to develop more powerful and luxurious models like the Audi A6 and A8.

Two years later Audi released what became its most successful model to date, the Audi A3, built in conjunction with the Volkswagen Group using the same platform as the A4, the A3 was initially available only as a 3 door hatchback.

In 2000 Audi revolutionised sports car racing once again with the Audi R8 and dominated the prestigious 24 Hours of Le Mans, winning 5 of 7 years it competed.

After 20 years of research with diesel engines the results were paid off with another revolutionary racing car the Audi R10 TDI, which again dominated Le Mans' racing tracks for four consecutive years, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, till it was replaced the new Audi R15 TDI.

All technological advances made by Audi in the racing tracks are used in its models nowadays. With their high fuel efficiency and low emissions the TDI engines are a reference, the petrol engines have high fuel efficiency thanks to Audi's Valvelift technology, not to mention the Quattro four-wheel-drive and all the other technological advances Audi makes year after year.

Prove to that is the Audi R8 a state of the art sports car that was successful in the racing and in less than 2 years gained respect of sports cars enthusiast form all over the world.

Audi's success is the reflect of the company's tagline Vorsprung durch Technik, meaning "Advantage through Technology".

About Audi RS6



The car industry in today's world is filled up with so many hot cars that we cannot turn down. You have sports cars and high end luxury cars that offer you everything you have ever wanted. Never be for would we have ever imagined that any car maker out there would be able to take luxury and combine it with a sports car. Seriously, did you ever think this was possible? Well, Audi sure has proved us wrong on that one. As they have released their cars, we are coming across many high performance sports cars that are also comfortable, not to mention safe. Take the Audi RS6 as an example, it has that sporty look, yet it is still a high end luxury car.

When you look at the Audi RS6, you are going to come across one soaped up car as it has a V10 engine. For those of you that are not familiar with V10 engines, this is top of the line as you have V4, V6 and V8. Finding a V10 engine is a bit on the rare side, especially if you are looking into some of the other cars, other than Audi's. We believe the Audi RS6 is one of the most powerful cars that have ever been made during its time. When it comes to the use of power, you are going to find that it is a smooth ride. You will not experience that "rough" feel like you would get with some of the other sports cars out there.

The Audi RS6 takes power and puts it in a whole new category. This is one of the most powerful sedans that Audi has ever designed, not to mention being one of the most powerful four door cars that you will come across. When it comes to those station wagons, there is no denying that the Audi RS6 will be taking the spotlight from it all. As far as the transmission of this car goes, the Audi RS6 Avant has a Tiptronic transmission, which is top of the line. It also comes with the ever so popular Audi Quattro, which is all wheel drive. The S6 is able to take you from zero to sixty in 5.1 seconds, which we admit, is not too bad at all. However, the new RS6 is expected to go from zero to sixty in only four seconds. Also, you will not have to worry about a speed limiter as this car will not be coming with one. This means the car will be able to go beyond one hundred and fifty five miles per hour, but you should make sure you stay safe. Driving at these speeds is dangerous and deadly, but we are sure you know this already.

As you are looking for forums on the Internet, we highly recommend you looking at the Audi RS6 forum as the author states it is one of the best forums you will find.

The History of Audi AG


Audi AG is the company responsible for production of cars of the Audi model. Though not a fully-fledged company themselves, Audi AG have made a huge profit on their successes over the years with cars such as the Audi TT. Audi AG is a subsidiary of the Volkswagen Group who own 99.7% of all shares in the company.

Audi AG's motto is 'Vorsprung durch Technik', which translates into English as 'Advancement through technology'. It is this attitude towards technology and class that has set Audi aside from its competitors since the company was formed all the way back in 1899 by August Horch.

The first Audi car was produced in 1901 - albeit under the company name 'Horch', named after the founder. Horch was himself however expelled from the company in 1909, and founded Audi as a second company to rival Horch. The first cars Audi produced were 2.6L four cylinder models and 3.6L models, gaining speed and momentum already in sales figures and profit.

During the Second World War, Audi provided a lot of cars and specially designed military vehicles to the German armed forces to aid them in their efforts. After May 1940, no more civilian production took place, with the company (now known as the 'Auto Union' after a merger) decided to provide vehicles solely for military usage.

In 1964, well after the war had finished, the Volkswagen Group moved in and bought a majority share of the company, a decision that would prove to be remarkably profitable, revolutionizing the company and allowing it to surpass all limits anyone could have imagined for it.

After another merger in the late 1960s, the 'Auto Union' became known as 'Audi NSU Auto Union AG'. The first car to be released after this merger was the Audi 100, another instant success, followed by the Audi 80 and Audi 50 not long after. The Audi 50 was renamed the Volkswagen Polo in 1974.

Audi at this point had an image of conservatism, and to remedy this they decided to move into the racing and high performance markets. The Audi Quattro, a turbocharged coupe was released to help with their aims in this sector.

In the early 21st century, Audi is continuing to do well, with sales and profits growing on a yearly basis, and Audi continuing to be regarded as one of the most successful car companies ever. In 2008, over a million units were sold, and the profit was around three trillion euros, with a turnover over ten times this. Audi provides employment to over fifty thousand people in countries worldwide and remains a formidable force in the car industry today.
