The rear side panels and the large cover over the storage compartment for the cloth top are made of a carbon fiber composite. Unlike the Coupé, the Audi R8 Spyder has classic air intakes behind the doors. Two distinctive silver cowls, into which the large air intake openings are integrated, give the long back a powerful profile.

 Its lines offer a unique interpretation of the dynamics and emotion of a high-performance sports car. The Audi R8 Spyder 5.2 FSI quattro captivates from the very first glance. The Audi R8 Spyder 5.2 FSI quattro features a fascinating package of technologies, including the Audi Space Frame (ASF) made of aluminum and carbon fiber composite, quattro permanent all-wheel drive, LED headlights and the innovative seatbelt microphone. The 386 kW (525 hp) V10 engine accelerates the high-performance sports car with the lightweight cloth top to 100 km/h (62.14 mph) in 4.1 seconds on its way to a top speed of 313 km/h (194.49 mph).  Fascination taken to a new level of intensity: The Audi R8 Spyder 5.2 FSI quattro combines breathtaking performance with the experience of open-top driving.

It nevertheless averages just 9.2 liters of fuel per 100 km (25.57 US mpg). 450 Nm (331.90 lb-ft) of torque are available between 1,600 and 5,300 rpm. Its turbocharged, inline 5-cylinder engine draws 250 kW (340 hp) of power from 2.5 liters of displacement.

 The dynamic spearhead of the TT model series is the TT RS, which is likewise available as a Coupe or a Roadster. A new color combination - spectral silver/black - is available for the interior. Visual cues to its identity are provided by the 18-inch wheels with size 245/40 tires and a new grille combined with chrome air inlets. The Audi TTS comes standard with the Audi magnetic ride adaptive shock absorber technology, the Sport button and a high-performance brake system.

 With the S tronic, the Coupé consumes an average of only 7.7 liters of fuel per 100 km (30.55 US mpg). It accelerates the Audi TTS Coupe with the optional S tronic from zero to 100 km/h (62.14 mph) in 5.2 seconds, up to a governed top speed of 250 km/h (155.34 mph). Its two-liter TFSI with the large turbocharger and many additional modifications pumps out 200 kW (272 hp) and 350 Nm (258.15 lb-ft) of torque, the latter from 2,500 to 5,000 rpm.  The Audi TTS, both in Coupe and Roadster body styles, combine enthralling sportiness with cultivated comfort.

These together with the wings in the headlight body are classic Audi design features. Twelve white LEDs arranged in a straight line at the lower edge of the headlights serve as the daytime running lights. Also sporting a new look are the lattice of the single-frame grille in high-gloss black and the optional xenon plus headlights. The fog lights are set in chrome rings.

 The most obvious feature at the front of the car is the powerful bumper, which frames the larger air inlets with three-dimensional, sharply drawn out edges. Their dynamic appearance is now even more expressive than ever. A brawny, broad foundation, powerful shoulders and a flat roofline - the two compact sports cars have fascinatingly masculine lines. Awards such as the 2007 "World Design Car of the Year" document this status. Exterior design The second generation Audi TT Coupe and the TT Roadster have made a name for themselves as design icons, similar to their predecessors.

 New to the lineup is a powerful and highly efficient four cylinder: The 2.0 TFSI develops 155 kW (211 hp), but is content with an average fuel consumption of just 6.6 liters per 100 kilometers (35.64 US mpg). The design of the lightweight bodies made primarily of aluminum and the interior have been revised with great attention to detail, while new technologies lower the fuel consumption of the compact sports car.  Dynamic design, enthralling performance and exemplary efficiency - the Audi TT Coupe and the TT Roadster are now more attractive than ever.

The Audi A1 is the first premium automobile in the small compacts class - a true, fully-fledged Audi. Audi's latest model has a broad portfolio of advanced technologies on board; its infotainment system sets new standards in the segment. Customers can customize numerous details to tailor the car to their personal tastes.

 The interior of the Audi A1 is also sporty and of high quality. Thanks to its compact dimensions, it is very agile and nimble in city traffic and offers a high degree of everyday utility. The young customers of the Audi A1 live in major cities and therefore are looking for a vehicle that is designed for the urban environment. The agile chassis and powerful engines make the Audi A1 the sportiest car in the segment.

 It condenses all of the virtues of the brand down to less than four meters - a design full of character, uncompromising quality and pioneering efficiency technologies. It is dynamic and high quality, emotional and individual.  Audi is introducing a whole new dimension to the compact class with the all-new Audi A1.

Audi's new top model is both longer and wider than its main long-wheelbase competitors. The width remains unchanged at 1,949 mm (6.39 ft); the height has increased by 2 mm (0.08 in) to 1,462 mm (4.8 ft). The wheelbase has grown by the same amount, to 3,122 mm (10.24 ft).

 With an overall length of 5,267 millimeters (17.28 ft), the new Audi A8 L is 130 mm (0.43 ft) longer than the regular version. The long wheelbase does not disturb its taut outlines, which remain as athletic as they are elegant. What's fascinating about the Audi A8 L is its supremely powerful presence; its design is clearly derived from the brand's genes and yet has undergone further refinement. The Audi A8 L is being launched with a twelve-cylinder engine, but by the end of the year will be available with all the engines currently offered for the A8. The Audi A8 L W12 quattro, with a long wheelbase and a twelve-cylinder engine, sets new standards of luxury, dynamism and efficiency in the top automobile manufacturing league.

 And now the brand is introducing the top version of its flagship model.  The new Audi A8 is a concentrated high-tech package that confirms the Audi claim to technical leadership - "Vorsprung durch Technik".

Vigorous thrust and spontaneous throttle response make the 3.0 TFSI engine, with its sonorous note, an ideal source of power for the large high-performance SUV from Audi. Two charge-air intercoolers prevent the air temperature from rising, so that the engine draws in more oxygen for the combustion process. Within the 90-degree angle formed by its cylinder blocks there is an engine-driven supercharger that compresses the intake air.

 The new 3.0 TFSI gasoline engine embodies Audi's downsizing strategy: replacing engine displacement with supercharging. A high-performance recuperation system that recovers energy during braking is also a standard item with all six- and eight-cylinder engines. All the engines for the Audi Q7 combine two technologies: forced induction and direct fuel injection. A mighty V8 diesel completes the range. The two gasoline engines, both V6 units but with different power outputs, are new, and so is the second-generation V6 TDI.

 Even more power, even higher efficiency: Audi has revised the engine lineup for the Q7. Now Audi has made it even more powerful and efficient, with a choice of three new V6 engines and an 8-speed tiptronic transmission.  The Audi Q7 is the large Audi for the sporty individualist - the high-performance SUV for sport, leisure, family and business.

The engine frame is made of ultra lightweight magnesium. The aluminum body panels are joined to the frame of extruded profiles and cast nodes by means of positive and friction connections. Its aluminum Audi Space Frame (ASF) body weighs only 210 kilograms (462.97 lb).

 Consistent use of lightweight construction: 100 kilograms (220.46 lb) trimmed The production Audi R8 V10 5.2 FSI quattro is already a shining example of the Audi's lightweight construction philosophy. Each Audi R8 GT has a badge with its production number on the shift lever knob. The exclusive series is limited to 333 units. The genes of the race version are now coming to the street - in the Audi R8 GT. This applies to both the production models, winners of the "World Performance Car" Award in 2008 (R8) and in 2010 (R8 V10), and to the race car, the R8 LMS, which won 23 races in its first season and claimed three championships.

 The R8 high-performance sports car has been a winner from the very beginning. The Audi R8 GT accelerates from zero to 100 km/h (62.14 mph) in 3.6 seconds and reaches a top speed of 320 km/h (198.84 mph). The output of its 5.2-liter V10 has been increased to 412 kW (560 hp); vehicle weight has been reduced by roughly 100 kilograms (220.46 lb).  Now even more powerful, lighter and faster: Audi presents the Audi R8 GT - a limited-production version of the Audi R8 high-performance sports car.
