Audi has recently announced that to celebrate their 100th anniversary (eat that STI) they will be offering a variety of ‘100 Years of Audi’ packages for their vehicles purchased in Germany.

The first package, appropriately dubbed ‘Styling’, will add sports seats, a 3-spoke leather sports steering wheel, and an aluminum entry seal plate featuring the silhouette of Audi’s Type C racing car. You’ll get all of this for €2,400 to €6,750 depending on the vehicle its applied to.

Next up is the ‘Innovation’ package which will add LED daytime running lights, xenon headlights, head beam assist, aluminum wheels and some other fancy technology. This package will cost you €1,700 to €2,700 again, depending on the vehicle.

Both of these packages will be available for the A3, A3 Cabriolet, A4, A5 Coupe, A6, Q5, Q7 and TT.

Audi Q7: Review

Posted by Simon Published in Audi

Audi Q7

When you push the throttle of the Audi Q7 V12 TDI Diesel you’ll notice a growl as the Q7 moves forward and although you may be surprised at that elevated sound, Audi intends for it to be that way. In fact, it’s designed into the exhaust system. The 6.0-liter V-12 engine works smoothly and quietly otherwise. In spite of the Q7’s weight—5700-plus pounds—it feels rather agile and light.

Any body roll is well controlled for an SUV although the steering could use a tad more feel. The interior is fairly sporty and is a blend of leather, suede, aluminum and carbon fiber. Overall the Q7 V12 TDI is beautifully finished in Audi tradition and it shows that the image of diesel is changing.

Free Audi Cars for Soccer Stars: Ronaldinho, Shevchenko, and more

Posted by Anthony B Published in Audi

Audi AG has worked in cooperation with Real Madrid since 2003 and with Milan since 2007, but in the past week they’ve taken one step further by “offering” new models to the soccer stars.

Players like Ronaldinho, Shevchenko, Ruud van Nistelroy, Kaká, and many others, had the opportunity to pick the cars in a free manner, and the final decisions were pretty good: Audi Q7 for Ronaldinho, Audi S5 for van der Vaart, Audi R8 for Sneijder and Kaká, etc…

If you could pick an Audi car for free, just like the soccer players did, which one would it be?

This continues the connection between two brands which are known the world over. The red and black football jersey and the four rings are significant symbols everywhere. They stand for prestige, excellence and outstanding results.

The Audi Q7 V12 TDI looks good in pictures for now. The car will be launched in Europe, not the U.S.

If you can get your hands on one, make sure you take advantage of all its 500 horsepower and 758 lbs.-ft. torque from its standard diesel engine. The Audi Q7 comes equipped with 21-inch wheels, carbon ceramic brakes, LED running lamps, leather, TV screens.

What do you say? Getting one from Europe are we?
