The New Audi urbansphere Concept Perfects Luxury City Dri...

The Audi urbansphere concept shows a luxury oasis built for a fast-paced future. As the world continues to grow, its cities get busier and faster. Living in close quarters, urban environments will provide even less personal space than they do now, and there’s less and less time available to us when we don’t have to be on the go. So, our transportation has to fit this lifestyle, and that’s the challenge that the Audi urbansphere concept steps up to. MUST READ: The Audi A6 Avant e-tron Concept Is The Station Wagon Of The Future It emphasizes the driver and the passengers above anything else, which is why it offers more interior space than any Audi has ever done before. The third installation in the Audi sphere suite of concept vehicles, alongside the Audi skysphere and Audi grandsphere, the urbansphere is Audi’s idea of urban luxury in the future. The car lacks a B-pillar and the doors open in opposite directions to reveal a completely uninterrupted entrance, and the seats swivel out to welcome passengers. Wood and wool, among other beautiful materials, form a serene interior, and no screens, gauges, or instrument panels are revealed until the car is activated. The urbansphere’s electric drivetrain allows for large, usable interior space with a long wheelbase that efficiently uses the length of the car, and also allows for a 466-mile range, high power, and fast charging, in the name of 5 to 80 percent charge in as little as 25 minutes. The urbansphere’s take on luxury is inspired by the megacities of China, although its sensibility can be applied to urban environments around the world. As an homage-paying touch to its Chinese inspiration, the Audi urbansphere concept features an illuminated umbrella that nods towards traditional Chinese umbrellas. Made with reflective material on the inner surface, the umbrella protects its user from the elements, serves as a light source, and is a source of visibility for safety while walking at night. Inside and out, the Audi urbansphere concept is a luxury revolution. Source: Audi

New Audi urbansphere Concept Car Gets Reveal Date

Third in a line of Audi "sphere" concepts. Reveals of concept cars are always interesting and exciting. While many of them may never get produced, they still shed light on many of the automaker's new technology and even design cues for future models. For those who always find joy in new concept cars, Audi is ready to unveil their new urbansphere concept on April 19, 2022. This new model will come into the world as the third "sphere" concept from Audi, following the grandsphere and skysphere concepts that were unveiled in 2021. While the grandsphere was designed to be like a "first-class flight" and the skysphere is a two-door roadster, the urbansphere looks to be entirely different. In the image you see up above, this new Audi appears to have four doors, four seats and plenty of room. That's definitely a departure from the other new Audi concept, so it will surely be an exciting reveal. Be sure to check back with us on April 19th when the Audi urbansphere concept is revealed.

Ken Block Recruits A New Audi e-tron SUV For Off-Road Adv...

Ken Block’s Audi fleet continues to grow. With his Audi RS e-tron GT, Ken Block has already made quite the stir, showing the electric luxury car’s potential for performance, drifting, snow dominance, and the ultimate cool factor. But being a rally driver, we know Ken Block likes to travel off the beaten path now and then, which is why he’s introducing his new Audi e-tron SUV, which is just as much at home off the road as it is on it. VIDEO REVIEW: Audi RS5 Sportback Ascari Edition With the Ken Block treatment, it has his current signature matte white color, chunky off-road tires with black off-road Rotiform wheels, and a roof rack with space for a bike on top. The e-tron has the potential to go from snow to desert dunes, to the famous Moab, Utah trails, and Ken Block plans to do all of those things. With 490 lb/ft of torque, and 402 horsepower, all coming from a perfectly distributed battery and set of electric motors under the car, the e-tron remains in rear-wheel drive until power is needed in the front wheels, which makes it prepared for various traction situations. Adjustable ride height and a range of 220 miles also make it confident on any terrain. After seeing what his Audi RS e-tron GT was able to do, Ken Block is sure to bring this new Audi e-tron on some serious adventures. All Electric Cars For Sale Source: Hoonigan

Ken Block Tries His Drifting Skills On His New Audi RS e-...

Call it the electric slide. Ken Block is famous for his drifting ability. His Gymkhana videos and rally career are all examples of his affinity for getting the back end of a car out to do wild drifting tricks. His new Audi RS e-tron GT has thus far proved to be an excellent vehicle with 637 horsepower, Audi’s state-of-the-art Quattro all-wheel-drive system, and unmatched electric torque delivery. In typical Ken Block fashion, however, he wants to see if he can take the Audi RS e-tron GT in a whole new direction: sideways. MUST READ: Ken Block’s New Audi RS e-tron GT Makes Molehills Out of Mountains There are a few obstacles that bar Block from drifting the RS e-tron GT in a typical fashion. The car does not come with a handbrake, meaning that handbrake drifting is not an option. The all-wheel-drive also defies the traditional rear-wheel-drive setup for drifting, and the lack of a gas engine and gearbox makes the throttling technique of drifting much more difficult. However, despite this, thanks to Block’s skill and experience, he was able to get the RS e-tron GT to do some donuts and other dramatic slides, despite the car doing just about everything to stop him.

The Audi A6 Avant e-tron Concept Is The Station Wagon Of ...

Audi just gave wagon fans everything they wanted. The Audi A6 Avant has long been a favorite among wagon fans, for its practicality and performance potential. The Audi RS6 Avant, for example, produces nearly 600 horsepower and climbs to 60 mph in just 3.5 seconds, all while having uncompromising luggage space and family hauling capability, and the tradition of sporty Audi wagons can be traced all the way back to the RS2 Avant in the 1990s. MUST READ: Ken Block’s New Audi RS e-tron GT Makes Molehills Out of Mountains Now, the latest Audi Avant to join the group is the Audi A6 Avant e-tron Concept, a gorgeous A6 wagon like all A6 Avants, except this time, it’s fully electric. It takes after the A6 Sportback e-tron Concept, using the same dimensions and transforming them into a wagon body style. Its clean, sleek looks are classically Audi, while touches of futurism suggest changes in the design language of new Audi cars going forward. Rather than simply electrifying the Avant, Audi set out to make the A6 Avant e-tron Concept an amazing Audi, an amazing luxury wagon, and an amazing electric vehicle. This was done by making the maximum range up to 435 miles, giving the car the capability to charge to 186 miles of range in as little as 10 minutes, fitting beautiful 22-inch wheels, and getting the 0-60 time to be as little as under 4 seconds. The most important innovation, however, is the fact that the A6 e-tron family comes on a new platform, developed in conjunction with Porsche: the Premium Platform Electric, or PPE. From the bottom up, cars on this platform are designed to be electric, luxurious, and capable to perform. With this new platform, the Audi A6 Avant e-tron and A6 e-tron Sportback Concepts are just the beginning of a whole new era of luxury electric vehicles. Source: Audi

The Audi RS Q e-tron Rally Car Is Taking On The Abu Dhabi...

After taking on the Dakar Rally, the Audi RS Q e-tron’s sights are set on Abu Dhabi In an incredible victory for electric cars, the rally world, and the future of motorsport and cars in general, the Audi RS Q e-tron debuted at the Dakar Rally with four incredible stage victories. The sandy desert setting of the race has for decades provided an iconic and respected challenge to rally cars and motorcycles from all over the world, and the event is one of the most iconic rallies in the world. MUST READ: Ken Block Launches the Audi RS Q e-tron Into the Icy Air In March, however, the Audi RS Q e-tron is focusing on the Abu Dhabi Desert Challenge, a rally that has been in the UAE since 1991, and which is reportedly shorter and easier to navigate than this year’s Dakar rally. However, that doesn’t mean that the Abu Dhabi race doesn’t come without its challenges. The Abu Dhabi Desert Challenge will be much hotter, first of all. The temperatures expected are temperatures that the RS Q e-tron has not yet had to brave, and along with that challenge, the warmth makes the sand much softer, which means that the Audi will have a tougher time getting traction when climbing the dunes. The driver, Stéphane Peterhansel, says that the electric powertrain will be a boon in this situation due to its continuously variable drive and high torque, meaning that, unlike conventional cars, he won’t have to choose a gear and gamble getting stuck driving too slow, or jumping while not knowing what is ahead if the dune was climbed too quickly. These dunes are an especially relevant consideration in Abu Dhabi as they comprise 80 percent of the course. Despite these challenges, sights are set on a podium position at the Abu Dhabi Desert Challenge, to be held March 6-10, and should the car continue the success it has had, that moment may define the future of the rally world.

Facelifted For 2022, The New Audi A8 and S8 Are Ready To ...

Audi’s sumptuous flagship sedan is an old dog that can learn new tricks. For 2022, the Audi A8 and S8 get a bit of a facelift, and while a car with the technology, luxury, and performance of the A8 and S8 didn’t need one, it certainly doesn’t hurt. The model has been the flagship sedan of the brand for many years, and while it never does a bad job at being the pinnacle of Audi’s luxury, it only has the status it does by innovating and improving wherever it can. Luxury cars start to show their true prowess in the interior. The new facelifted A8 has plenty of features that will remind you just how luxurious of a car you’re driving, like HVAC vents that only reveal themselves when needed, and are otherwise concealed by the decorative dashboard trim of the car. The new interior also introduces Audi’s new Dynamica material to the car, which was first implemented in the Audi E-Tron GT, and can now optionally be used for the entire roof trim of your A8 or S8. MUST READ: Ken Block Launches the Audi RS Q e-tron Into the Icy Air And like many luxury sedans, the best seats in the house are the back seats, which can be optioned to have folding wing tables and remote control for changing the seating and lighting settings. The front seats, however, can’t be left out. The new A8 features two touchscreens: one for infotainment and navigation on the top, and another on the bottom for climate control and other comfort settings. With a HUD added to the cockpit, there’s not much the new A8 and S8 leave to be desired. The S8 performance sedan is an ultimate car, with limousine-level luxury, and performance that is nearly peerless for its class of car. That continues with the facelift, with the twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 engine of the S8 producing 563 horsepower and 590 lb/ft of torque. The A8, not to be left out, has a 330-horsepower V6, producing 369 lb/ft of torque, and both models come standard with Quattro all-wheel drive and advanced air suspension. With legendary luxury and comfort, and even more legendary performance capability like that, the new A8 and S8, starting at $86,500, and $116,900 respectively, are definitely worth the splurge.

Discover The Newly Redesigned Audi A8

The iconic Audi A8 takes on a new shape with some luxury, performance, and technology upgrades. Audi prides itself on offering a fleet of vehicles that carry the perfect balance of luxury and performance. The A8 model continues to act as a staple for the German automotive manufacturer, continuing the 4th generation luxury sedan as a symbol of prestige status. Audi is proud to present its new redesign of the A8 with an updated design, technology, and performance features. Audi The exterior of the new Audi A8 includes a Singleframe grill that is now wider with chrome angles that increase in size from bottom to top adorn its grid. The side air intakes are more upright and just as freshly styled as the headlights, whose lower edge on the outside creates a distinctive contour. Stretched lines in the body of the car emphasize its length, wide wheel arches hint at the standard Quattro drive system. Beyond the basic exterior, Audi is offering its customers the chrome exterior package and, for the first time in the A8, the new S line exterior package. The A8 has a wheelbase of 9.8-feet, a length of 17-feet, a width of 6.4-feet, and a height of 4.8-feet. Audi The interior layout of the new Audi A8 features its iconic spacious luxury setting with available options for an ambient light option. Each passenger experiences premium comfort with the ability to choose the relaxation seat package, which includes a back massage with 18 pneumatic cushions, electrically adjustable comfort headrests, an optional continuous center console. The interior layout is also available with optional fold-out tables, four-zone deluxe automatic air conditioning, and the new screens in the rear. They include an Audi design selection in pastel silver and the S line interior in black, merlot red, or cognac. Audi New technology is added to the A8 platform, which starts in the hands of the driver in the form of assistance packages. The “City” assist package includes intersection assist, cross-traffic assist, side assist, exit warning, and the Audi pre sense 360° safety system, which induces a side crash enhancement in combination with the active suspension. The “Tour” assist package, which is standard in Germany, is particularly comprehensive. Its central system is adaptive cruise assist, which adjusts longitudinal and lateral guidance throughout the vehicle’s speed range. Behind the assistance systems in the Audi A8 is the central driver assistance controller, which continuously calculates a model of the environment. Audi To begin with, the enhanced Audi A8 is available with three motorizations. As a V6 engine, the 3.0 TFSI draws its power from three liters of displacement. The 4.0 TFSI, which is available for the A8 and the S8 in various output levels, distributes its four liters of displacement to eight cylinders. In the version for the A8 models, the 4.0 TFSI generates 454-horsepower and 487-ft. lb. of torque. These create very sporty performance: the A8 60 TSFI Quattro and the A8 L 60 TFSI Quattro both sprint from zero to 60mph in 4.4 seconds. One highlight of the V8 is the cylinder on-demand system (COD), which temporarily deactivates four cylinders for moderate driving. In brief, the A8 is also available as a Diesel engine; a plug-in hybrid model (PHEV) will follow. View all current Audi A8 models for sale on duPont REGISTRY by clicking the link below.
