24 Hours of Le Mans Update #2
Tom Kristensen is in place for the final stint, we’ve got a little less than 20 minutes and it’s not looking good right now. Two Peugeots are out in front of Audi #1 with about a 5 lap lead. Pace was lost after spins during Dino Capello’s stint and then rear suspension problems on lap [...]

13. June 2009
It’s the 24 Hours of Le Mans, at the Circuit de la Sarthe in France. With about 14 hours down and 10 left, Audi finds themselves in a precarious situation. After last year’s outstanding, down-to-the-wire victory against Peugeot’s aggressive 908HDi’s with victory going to the R10 TDI driven by Tom Kristensen, Allan McNish and Rinaldo [...]

11. June 2009
OK, yesterday we posted Vicky Butler-Henderson’s Fifth Gear review of the 2009 Audi S4 Avant, a car we happen to like. While we’re biased to the car, and many reviews of the S4 have been very positive, VBH seemed to disagree, giving the S4 a rating of only 7 out of 10 due to poor [...]

Is the economic downturn finally slowing and possibly turning around?

Day break and getting on towards the closing hours of the race and we find R8 #97 up into second place behind a Manthey Porsche GT3 which the Audis have been dueling with since the start of the race. Audi #98 slipped back to 12th position after an unscheduled stop to replace a servo pump, however, [...]

23. May 2009
Over 5 hours in and Phoenix Racing Audi #99 is still out in first. Apparently, the R8 LMS is capable of getting one more lap under its belt per driver stint than the competition snapping at its heels from the Porsche GT3’s. At one point, the R8 managed to pull out a full one minute lead but [...]

It’s no secret that Audi AG is making rapid growth for market shares of the luxury segment within the U.S. market.

19. May 2009
As we mentioned in the post about the Custom Q5, Audi and the Volkswagen Group as a whole certainly do a lot for their loyal, dedicated fan base during the few days that are the Wörthersee Tour. As we’ve mentioned, in previous years, the TT Clubsport was a featured car, as was the VW GTI-W12-650, among [...]

17. May 2009
These days, there is a lot to be said for someone who can walk into a dealership and throw down the cash in full to pay for a car, let alone a luxury car such as an Audi. Well, one such German man had every intention of doing that by taking an envelope full of [...]
