			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Audi the German automobile giant has come up with the all new <strong>Audi A8L</strong> luxury sedan, which the company claims to be best in the segment. The car promises great luxury comfort as well as high end performance and so is definitely a car not only for the extra rich who like to sit at the rear seats but also for those who like to enjoy driving holding the steering wheels. The Audi A8L offers redefined riding experience and comes with three powerful engine options- two petrol and one diesel.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://automaniac.in/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Audi-A8L_1.jpg"><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-5593" title="Audi-A8L_1" src="http://automaniac.in/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Audi-A8L_1.jpg" alt="Audi A8L" width="389" height="292" /></a></p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">The cutting edge design of <em>Audi A8L </em>is<em> </em>prominent enough to catch every one’s attention at the very first glance. The most identifying feature of A8L is in form of muscular trapezoidal radiator grille which is formed by a combination of lower and upper sections. Also the big and nicely shaped headlamps with LED daytime running lights give the car a definition of style assuring luxury. The rear view of the Audi A8L is sporty and majestic and with the unique tail lights, the car gets an aggressive look.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://automaniac.in/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Audi-A8L_2.jpg"><img class="alignnone  wp-image-5594" title="Audi-A8L_2" src="http://automaniac.in/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Audi-A8L_2-300x225.jpg" alt="Audi A8L" width="270" height="203" /></a> <a href="http://automaniac.in/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Audi-A8L_3.jpg"><img class="alignright  wp-image-5595" title="Audi-A8L_3" src="http://automaniac.in/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Audi-A8L_3-300x225.jpg" alt="Audi A8L" width="270" height="203" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">With its elegant styling and quality of workmanship, the interior of <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Audi A8L</span> is a treat to the senses. Quality, functionality and ergonomics are the characteristic features of the roomy interiors of this car and it seems as this car has a notch above both the Benz S class as well as the BMW 7 series which are the worthy opponents to the Audi A8L. The seats get the options of Valcona and Natural leather and also recline electrically to cool and heat your buttocks on demand. The dashboard of the A8L features Multi Media Interface (MMI), with its retractable 7-inch color monitor displaying the audio information, route guide and other functions clearly.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://automaniac.in/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Audi-A8L_4.jpg"><img class="alignnone  wp-image-5596" title="Audi-A8L_4" src="http://automaniac.in/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Audi-A8L_4-300x225.jpg" alt="Audi A8L" width="270" height="203" /></a> <a href="http://automaniac.in/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Audi-A8L_5.jpg"><img class="alignright  wp-image-5597" title="Audi-A8L_5" src="http://automaniac.in/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Audi-A8L_5-300x225.jpg" alt="Audi A8L" width="270" height="203" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The Audi A8L gets three engine options. The first one being the 4.2L Quattro petrol engine that produces a power of 350 PS @ 6800 rpm and a torque of 440 Nm at 3500 rpm. This variant accelerates from 0-100 Km/hr in 6.3 seconds and reaches a top speed of 250 km/hr. The second one being the 6.0 L Quattro W12 petrol engine that produces an output of 450 PS @ 6200 rpm and a torque of 580 Nm @ 4000 rpm. It accelerates from 0-100 Km/hr in 5.2 seconds and attains a top speed of 250 km/hr. And finally the third variant is the 3.0 L TDI Quattro diesel engine that produces a power of 233 PS @ 4000 rpm &amp; a torque of 450 Nm @ 1400 rpm. This one accelerates from 0-100 in 7.9 seconds and delivers a top speed of 243 Km/hr. All these engines are coupled with a six speed automatic transmission.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://automaniac.in/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Audi-A8L_6.jpg"><img class="alignnone  wp-image-5598" title="Audi-A8L_6" src="http://automaniac.in/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Audi-A8L_6-300x225.jpg" alt="Audi A8L" width="270" height="203" /></a> <a href="http://automaniac.in/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Audi-A8L_7.jpg"><img class="alignright  wp-image-5599" title="Audi-A8L_7" src="http://automaniac.in/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Audi-A8L_7-300x225.jpg" alt="Audi A8L" width="270" height="203" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The 4.2L (petrol) variant costs about Rs 83 lakh, the 6.0 L costs about Rs 1.26 Crore and the 3.0 TDI will cost around Rs 72 lakh. The <a href="http://www.audi-a8.in/">Audi A8L</a> comes in a lovely range of colors including Night Blue, Phantom Black, Brilliant Black, Deep Green, Oyster Grey Metallic, Cherry Black, Impala Beige, Avus Silver Pearl, Ice Silver Metallic and Ibis White. Possible competitors to this luxury sedan can be the Mercedes Benz S class, BMW 7 series and the <a href="http://automaniac.in/2010-jaguar-xj/">Jaguar XJ</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Audi the German luxury automobile manufacturer has released the details of 2012 <strong>Audi S4</strong>, believed to be the most powerful version in the A4 family. With stiff competition from the all new BMW 3-series, Audi has decided to reach the top of game by releasing the details of this new S4 even before the launch of the new 3-series. The latest S4 is a combination of more attractive design and new solutions for efficiency, driving dynamics and infotainment.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://automaniac.in/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Audi-S4-1.jpg"><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-5486" title="Audi-S4-1" src="http://automaniac.in/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Audi-S4-1.jpg" alt="Audi S4" width="432" height="266" /></a></p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">The new Audi S4 gets cleaner and more distinctive lines than the original A4. The horizontal lines at the front are more pronounced and the engine hood arched further. The upper corners of the single-frame grille are tapered with the cross ribs and the Audi rings that are highlighted three-dimensionally. The re-designed front bumper gets an aggressive look thanks to the angular air ducts and the new headlamps. The new headlamp design is carried over to the LED tail-lamp at the rear. The Audi A4 has always been a very modern now it has become even sharper with this facelift in form of the S4.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://automaniac.in/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Audi-S4-2.jpg"><img class="alignnone  wp-image-5487" title="Audi-S4-2" src="http://automaniac.in/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Audi-S4-2-300x225.jpg" alt="Audi S4" width="270" height="203" /></a> <a href="http://automaniac.in/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Audi-S4-3.jpg"><img class="alignright  wp-image-5488" title="Audi-S4-3" src="http://automaniac.in/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Audi-S4-3-300x225.jpg" alt="Audi S4" width="270" height="203" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The interior of the new <em>Audi S4 </em>is equipped with various great features. The S4 gets sports seats with integrated head restraints, which provides a lot of side support to make sure that one does not move around in the seat with the G force when driving fast round corners. Also these seats provide excellent comfort to the occupant. The black leather sports steering with a flat bottom has brushed aluminum finish paddle shifter and the grey stitching gives a touch of class and sportiness.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://automaniac.in/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Audi-S4-4.jpg"><img class="alignnone  wp-image-5489" title="Audi-S4-4" src="http://automaniac.in/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Audi-S4-4-300x221.jpg" alt="Audi S4" width="270" height="199" /></a> <a href="http://automaniac.in/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Audi-S4-5.jpg"><img class="alignright  wp-image-5490" title="Audi-S4-5" src="http://automaniac.in/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Audi-S4-5-300x221.jpg" alt="Audi S4" width="270" height="199" /></a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">The 2012 <strong>Audi A7</strong> first came into news almost a year ago at the 2010 Paris Motor Show. Now that the car is launched, let’s know the Audi A7 in more detail. The web pictures often do injustice to some of the nice looking cars. Similar is the case with new Audi A7, it looks much more in real than it does in the web pics. Unlike the majority of long-back semi-hatch sedans in the market, the Audi A7 has nothing awkward, lumpy or fat bottomed. The proportions are just perfect.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://automaniac.in/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Audi-a7_1.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-3027" title="Audi a7_1" src="http://automaniac.in/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Audi-a7_1-300x199.jpg" alt="audi a7" width="270" height="179" /></a> <a href="http://automaniac.in/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Audi-a7_2.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-3028" title="Audi a7_2" src="http://automaniac.in/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Audi-a7_2-300x199.jpg" alt="audi a7" width="270" height="179" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Audi has put great importance to the design  of 2012 <em>Audi A7</em>. The exterior of the car is based on the three lines- a long roof, boat tail-shaped sill and a shoulder line, these results in a sense of movement from front to back and meeting in the rear. The unique lighting with LEDs makes Audi distinctive from the front and rear ends.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://automaniac.in/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Audi-a7_4.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-3029" title="Audi a7_4" src="http://automaniac.in/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Audi-a7_4-300x199.jpg" alt="" width="270" height="179" /></a> <a href="http://automaniac.in/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Audi-a7_5.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-3030" title="Audi a7_5" src="http://automaniac.in/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Audi-a7_5-300x199.jpg" alt="audi a7" width="270" height="179" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Like most of the <a href="http://automaniac.in/category/makemodel/audi/" target="_blank">Audi</a> models, the <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Audi A7</span> comes with a variety of powerplants having petrol or diesel depending upon the market conditions. The base model of car will have 3.0-liter TDSI V6 engine. This engine is found in Audi’s S4, A6, <a href="http://automaniac.in/audi-a8-hybrid/" target="_blank">A8</a> and <a href="http://automaniac.in/audi-india-introduces-q7-suv-with-v6-3-0-tfsi-engine/" target="_blank">Q7</a>. The engine is directly injected with a belt- driven supercharger that produces an output of upto 310 hp and 325 pounds-feet of torque.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://automaniac.in/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Audi-a7_7.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3031" title="Audi a7_7" src="http://automaniac.in/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Audi-a7_7-300x199.jpg" alt="" width="270" height="179" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Audi A7 can reach a speed of 60mph in just 5.4 seconds. The car’s speed is electronically limited to 130mph. The car weighs about 4210 pounds despite the fact that the hood, roof, fenders and tailgate of the car are made out of aluminum.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://automaniac.in/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Audi-a7_8.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-3032" title="Audi a7_8" src="http://automaniac.in/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Audi-a7_8-300x199.jpg" alt="" width="270" height="179" /></a> <a href="http://automaniac.in/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Audi-a7_9.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-3033" title="Audi a7_9" src="http://automaniac.in/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Audi-a7_9-300x199.jpg" alt="audi a7" width="270" height="179" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The inside of the car is roomier with leather seats that keep you warm. The seats and the door panels are made out of soft perforated leather and the natural hides are contrasted with real wood trim having the borders done with strips of aluminium. The Audi A7 has much longer wheelbase than expected giving it a comfort of a limo.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Price of Audi A7 starts with a base tag of $59,259. This is however a bit more than some of its competitors like the BMW 535i xDrive Gran Turismo which costs about $58,800. However <strong>Audi A7</strong> costs much less than the all wheel drive Porsche Panamera 4 which costs about $78,900.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Audi the German automobile giant came up with the <strong>Audi R8</strong> model in the year 2008, then the car being the first mid-engine sports cars. The base 4.2 liter R8 version has 420 hp high revving V8 engine and all-wheel-drive. It uses Lamborghini Gallardo’s platform and the cost of the car is somewhere around $114,200.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://automaniac.in/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Audi-R8_1.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1560" title="Audi-R8_1" src="http://automaniac.in/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Audi-R8_1-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="270" height="203" /></a> <a href="http://automaniac.in/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Audi-R8_2.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1561" title="Audi-R8_2" src="http://automaniac.in/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Audi-R8_2-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="270" height="203" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The <strong>2011 Audi R8</strong> will be available with the 525hp, 5.2 liter V10 engine, with a standard six-speed manual gearbox or optional R-tronic automated transmission. Also the weight of car has been reduced by about 100 kgs. The R8 GT accelerates from 0-100km/hr in 3.6 seconds and reaches a top speed of 320km/hr (198.84 mph).</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The new R8 5.2 FSI Quattro has already been an example of Audi’s lightweight construction philosophy. R8’s aluminum Audi Space Frame (ASF) body weighs only 210 kilograms (462.97 lb). The aluminum body panels are joined to the frame of extruded profiles and cast nodes by means of positive and friction connections. The engine frame is made of ultra lightweight magnesium.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">The design of the <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>2011 Audi R8</em></span> GT is the expression of concentrated power – a beautiful, technical sculpture measuring 4.43 meters (14.53 ft) long, 1.93 meters (6.33 ft) wide and only 1.23 meters (4.04 ft) high. The exterior of the car has undergone many modifications that further sharpened the appearance. Many of them also reduce the weight and enhance the aerodynamics. The R8 GT produces even more downforce when driven fast than the production model – without any increase in the Cd value (0.36) or frontal area (1.99 m<sup>2</sup>) or (21.42 sq ft).</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://automaniac.in/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Audi-R8_3.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1562" title="Audi-R8_3" src="http://automaniac.in/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Audi-R8_3-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="270" height="203" /></a> <a href="http://automaniac.in/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Audi-R8_4.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1563" title="Audi-R8_4" src="http://automaniac.in/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Audi-R8_4-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="270" height="203" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The frame of the single-frame grille, its struts and the slats in the air intakes are finished in matt titanium gray; the grille is painted matt black. The splitter under the bumper has a double lip and is made of carbon. Slender, curved flics at the corners of the nose increase the downforce on the front axle and are also made of a carbon fiber composite.</p>
<p><strong>Performance</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The modified V10, whose cylinder head covers are painted red, gives the Audi R8 GT breathtaking performance. The R8 GT sprints from a standing start to highway speed in 3.6 seconds, and from zero to 200 km/h (124.27 mph) in 10.8 seconds. And the thrust does not let up until the top speed of 320 km/h (198.84 mph) is reached. The torque curve peaks at 540 Nm (398.28 lb-ft) at 6,500 rpm, 10 Nm (7.38 lb-ft) more than in the production version. The V10 has a specific power output of 79.2 kW (107.6 hp) per liter displacement. Its power-to-weight ratio is 3.70 kilograms (8.16 lb) per kW or 2.72 kilograms (6.00 lb) per hp. The engine redlines at 8,700 rpm.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://automaniac.in/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Audi-R8_6.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1564 aligncenter" title="Audi-R8_6" src="http://automaniac.in/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Audi-R8_6-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="270" height="203" /></a></p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Interior</span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The<a href="http://automaniac.in/2011-audi-r8/"> 2011 Audi R8</a> GT comes with an automatic climate control system and power windows, a navigation system with MMI operating logic and a powerful sound system. A 465 watt, ten-channel Bang &amp; Olufsen sound system, a CD changer and the Audi Music Interface are available as options. As always with Audi, the interior shows loving attention to detail. Rich materials spoil the occupants with a fine look and feel.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://automaniac.in/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Audi-R8_5.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1565" title="Audi-R8_5" src="http://automaniac.in/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Audi-R8_5-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="270" height="203" /></a> <a href="http://automaniac.in/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Audi-R8_7.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1566" title="Audi-R8_7" src="http://automaniac.in/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Audi-R8_7-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="270" height="203" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The ergonomic interior is adorned in sporty black and dark gray. The steering wheel, the headliner, the roof posts, the knee pad, the parking brake lever and the bucket seats are covered with Alcantara accented with contrasting stitching. A synthetic sharkskin-look material that feels slightly rough to the touch is applied to the bulkhead, the door liners, the instrument cowl and the dashboard. The “monoposto” – the arch in the cockpit – is made of matt carbon.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The instrument cluster features white dials with “R8 GT” badges. The newly designed selector lever is made of CFRP and aluminum; the center tunnel and the door liners sport decorative inlays in the body color. The door sills feature trims of matt aluminum decorated with the “R8 GT” logo.</p>
<p><strong>Exterior</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Exterior options include two alternative wheels, a body-color front splitter and a CFRP engine compartment lining. Carbon elements on the doors, the tunnel, in the cockpit and on the instrument panel are available as interior options. Others include a multifunction leather steering wheel, seat belts in red, orange or gray, floor mats with the “R8 GT” logo and CFRP door sill trims illuminated in red. If desired, Audi will fit seats with carbon frames, which are somewhat lighter than the CFRP shells. The Alcantara seat covers are optionally available with an embroidered “R8 GT” logo.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Audi unveiled its new generation A6 luxury sedan at the 2011 Detroit Auto Show last month. The <strong>2012 Audi A6</strong> is redesigned with great new styling and is new gas/electric hybrid model.  Initially the A6 models will come in a single 3.0T trim level with Audi’s Quattro all-wheel drive. The  new design of the car  has not yet been seen on the earlier A6 models.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://automaniac.in/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/Audi_A6_1.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1423" title="Audi_A6_1" src="http://automaniac.in/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/Audi_A6_1-300x170.jpg" alt="2012 audi A6" width="270" height="153" /></a> <a href="http://automaniac.in/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/Audi_A6_2.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1424" title="Audi_A6_2" src="http://automaniac.in/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/Audi_A6_2-300x170.jpg" alt="" width="270" height="153" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The car is built on a conventional steel chassis, with the use of several aluminum components in order to keep the overall weight of the car as minimum. The standard suspension is made of traditional steel coils and optional air suspension may be available.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://automaniac.in/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/Audi_A6_3.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1425" title="Audi_A6_3" src="http://automaniac.in/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/Audi_A6_3-300x170.jpg" alt="" width="270" height="153" /></a> <a href="http://automaniac.in/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/Audi_A6_4.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1426" title="Audi_A6_4" src="http://automaniac.in/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/Audi_A6_4-300x170.jpg" alt="" width="270" height="153" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">A 2.0 L V8 engine is used for the base model. However the top version of the sports club is believed to be getting a turbocharged 4.0- liter V8 engine. The sole transmission is likely to be an 8-speed automatic. The hybrid can run on one or both of its power sources to balance acceleration and fuel economy. The luxury sports vehicle shall include a list of standard options such a touchpad entry navigation system, lane keeping assist, active cruise control,  and autonomous emergency braking. Notably, the active cruise control will also have follow-to-stop feature.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://automaniac.in/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/Audi_A6_5.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1427" title="Audi_A6_5" src="http://automaniac.in/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/Audi_A6_5-300x170.jpg" alt="2012 audi A6" width="270" height="153" /></a> <a href="http://automaniac.in/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/Audi_A6_6.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1428" title="Audi_A6_6" src="http://automaniac.in/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/Audi_A6_6-300x170.jpg" alt="" width="270" height="153" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Among the available features in the <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>2012 Audi A6</em></span> are a navigation system, forward-collision warning, adaptive cruise control, head-up display, four-zone automatic climate control, and night-vision camera. An optional S line Package includes specific seats, interior, and exterior trim.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Audi showcased the <strong>Audi e-tron Spyder</strong>, the study of an open sports car, at the New York Auto Show last year. The show car, with plug-in hybrid drive, is 4.06 meters (13.32 ft) long, 1.81 meters (5.94 ft) wide and only 1.11 meters (3.64 ft) high. The two-seater is equipped with a 221-kW (300-hp) twin-turbo V6 TDI at the rear axle and two electric motors producing a total of 64 kW at the front axle.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://automaniac.in/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Audi-e-tron-Spyder-1.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-839 aligncenter" title="Audi-e-tron-Spyder 1" src="http://automaniac.in/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Audi-e-tron-Spyder-1-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="270" height="203" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>Audi e-tron Spyder</em></span> has low total weight of only around 1,450 kilograms (3,196.70 lb) combined with the high-torque TDI and the two electric motors results in respectable performance. The car accelerates to 100 km/h (62.14 mph) in just 4.4 seconds, and top speed is electronically governed at 250 km/h (155.34 mph).</p>
<address style="text-align: justify;"><strong><em><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Design</span></em></strong></address>
<address style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><a href="http://automaniac.in/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/e-tron-design-3.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-833" title="e-tron design 3" src="http://automaniac.in/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/e-tron-design-3-300x225.jpg" alt="Audi e-tron Spyder" width="270" height="203" /></a></span></address>
<address style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-style: normal;">The Audi e-tron Spyder features what is without a doubt the most advanced and simultaneously the most consistent evolution of the current Audi design language, while also providing initial hints at the design language of future Audi sports cars. It reinterprets the most important design elements that already characterized the previous e-tron concept vehicles. This also ensures the necessary formal differentiation to the purely electric-powered Audi e-tron shown at the 2010 New York Auto Show.</span></address>
<address style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><a href="http://automaniac.in/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/e-tron-design-1.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-831" title="e-tron design 1" src="http://automaniac.in/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/e-tron-design-1-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="270" height="203" /></a> <a href="http://automaniac.in/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/e-tron-design-2.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-832" title="e-tron design 2" src="http://automaniac.in/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/e-tron-design-2-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="270" height="203" /></a><br />
</span></address>
<address style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><br />
</span></address>
<address style="text-align: justify;"> <strong><em><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Interior</span></em></strong></address>
<address style="text-align: justify;"><strong><em></em></strong><span style="font-style: normal;">Visual and functional references to the fundamental concept of lightweight construction characterize the purist interior design. They establish a connection between proven Audi genes and new formal hallmarks. Typical for the Audi design idiom is the reduction of the architecture, controls and information output to the essentials in favor of a tidy overall impression.</span></address>
<address style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><a href="http://automaniac.in/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/e-tron-interior-1.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-834" title="e-tron interior 1" src="http://automaniac.in/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/e-tron-interior-1-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="270" height="203" /></a> <a href="http://automaniac.in/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/e-tron-interior-2.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-835" title="e-tron interior 2" src="http://automaniac.in/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/e-tron-interior-2-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="270" height="203" /></a><br />
</span></address>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The slim dash has a curve that extends laterally into the door panels. With no need to allow for a transmission, shifter and cardan tunnel, the designers again took advantage of the opportunity to create a particularly slim and lightweight center tunnel and convex, arching center console for the e-tron Spyder with hybrid drive. The only control element other than that of the MMI is the flush-mounted selector lever for the automatic transmission, which extends upward from the tunnel when the vehicle is started.</p>
<address style="text-align: justify;"><strong><em><span style="text-decoration: underline;">ASF Body</span></em></strong></address>
<address style="text-align: justify;"><strong><em></em></strong><span style="font-style: normal;">Systematic lightweight construction is a crucial prerequisite for efficiency and range, while also being the primary foundation for exhilarating driving dynamics. The Audi development engineers drew on the core competence of the company for the Audi e-tron Spyder. The body structure is based on Audi Space Frame (ASF) technology and was realized as a hybrid construction, with the hood and numerous aerodynamic components made of carbon.</span></address>
<address style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><a href="http://automaniac.in/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/etron-ASF-1.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-836" title="etron ASF 1" src="http://automaniac.in/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/etron-ASF-1-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="270" height="203" /></a> <a href="http://automaniac.in/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/etron-ASF-2.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-837" title="etron ASF 2" src="http://automaniac.in/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/etron-ASF-2-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="270" height="203" /></a><br />
</span></address>
<address style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><br />
</span></address>
<address style="text-align: justify;"><strong><em><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Engines and transmissions</span></em></strong></address>
<address style="text-align: justify;"><strong><em></em></strong><span style="font-style: normal;">Audi has long proven the perfect synthesis between a highly advanced sports car and TDI technology. With the TT, Audi become one of the first manufacturers anywhere in the world to successfully bring a diesel sports car to market, a decade after the Audi Cabriolet paved the way for diesel engines in this segment. And the Audi R8 TDI Le Mans concept car was the first supercar to be fitted with a twelve-cylinder diesel engine with 500 hp and 1,000 Newton meters </span><span style="font-style: normal;">(737.56 lb-ft) of torque.</span></address>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The Audi e-tron Spyder also draws on this recipe for success – albeit in a revolutionary new combination. This marks the first use of a new generation of the six-cylinder, 3.0 TDI that breathes through two turbochargers and produces 221 kW (300 hp). That is another 50 hp more than the previous stage, which debuted a few months ago in the new Audi A8.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://automaniac.in/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/e-tron-2.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-838" title="e-tron 2" src="http://automaniac.in/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/e-tron-2-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="270" height="203" /></a> <a href="http://automaniac.in/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/etron-3.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-840" title="etron 3" src="http://automaniac.in/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/etron-3-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="270" height="203" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Peak torque of 650 Newton meters (479.42 lb-ft) is unusually high, even in the sports car segment. The mid-mounted, longitudinal 3.0 TDI engine drives the rear wheels via a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Another innovation is the coupling of the TDI with the electric drive of the front axle. Two asynchronous electric motors with a total output of 64 kilowatt (88 hp) and peak torque of 352 Newton meters (259.62 lb-ft) combine with the 3.0 TDI to give the Audi e-tron Spyder the performance of a high-performance sports car. It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (62.14 mph) in 4.4 seconds. Top speed is electronically governed at 250 km/h (155.34 mph).</p>
<address style="text-align: justify;"><em><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Chassis</strong></span></em></address>
<address style="text-align: justify;"><em><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong></strong></span></em><span style="font-style: normal;">The normal distribution of the tractive power is clearly biased toward the rear axle in accordance with the weight distribution of the e-tron Spyder and the dynamic shift in axle load during acceleration. Similar to with a pure mid-engine sports car, roughly 75 percent of the torque goes to the rear and 25 percent to the front. If an axle slips, this balance can be varied thanks to the central control of the entire drive system in combination with the ESP. The hybrid vehicle from Audi thus enjoys all of the advantages of quattro technology.</span></address>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The combination of the mid-mounted TDI engine and the two electric motors at the front axle also make it possible to intelligently control the lateral dynamics of the e-tron.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">With just 1-2 months left for the start of Geneva Motor Show, Audi is expected to be ready for the launch of <strong>Audi S7 </strong>which is<strong> </strong> a high-performance variant of the Audi A7 automobile. The car is expected to compete with models some of the great models  such as the BMW M5, the Cadillac CTS-V, and the Mercedes CLS 63 AMG.</p>
<p><a href="http://automaniac.in/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Audi-S7.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-2863" title="Audi-S7" src="http://automaniac.in/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Audi-S7-300x174.jpg" alt="" width="270" height="162" /></a> <a href="http://automaniac.in/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Audi-S7-1.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-2864" title="Audi-S7-1" src="http://automaniac.in/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Audi-S7-1-300x225.jpg" alt="Audi s7" width="270" height="162" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">While the Audi A7’s most powerful engine delivers a total of 296 HP, the new S7  gets  a 4.0 litre twin-turbo V8 engine developed in cooperation with <strong>Bentley</strong>. In fact, it is the same engine that will be used for the new Continental GT, next to the usual 6.0 liter W12 powertrain, and will develop a total of 550 HP. Also, like the Bentley model, the next S7 will be an all-wheel drive model.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://automaniac.in/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Audi-S7-2.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-2865" title="Audi-S7-2" src="http://automaniac.in/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Audi-S7-2-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="270" height="203" /></a> <a href="http://automaniac.in/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Audi-S7-3.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-2866 alignright" title="Audi-S7-3" src="http://automaniac.in/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Audi-S7-3-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="270" height="203" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Compared to a standard A7, the <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>Audi S7</em></span> will get larger brakes, a sportier front bumper with larger air intakes and quad exhaust pipes, fog lights with chrome borders, and a set of double-spoke alloy wheels.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">The 2011 <strong>Audi A8L hybrid</strong> which has a long wheelbase had made its debut at the Beijing Motor Show last year. It is believed that the new A8L will be powered by the 4.2 FSI V8 petrol engine, which delivers 372 hp and 445 Nm of torque and is mated to the 8-speed tiptronic transmission. Due to the added weight, it&#8217;s likely that the performance is reduced somewhat. It is believed that the top speed will be electronically limited to 250 km/h.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://automaniac.in/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Audi-A8-1.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-659" title="Audi A8 1" src="http://automaniac.in/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Audi-A8-1-300x181.jpg" alt="AUDI A8 Hybrid" width="270" height="163" /></a> <a href="http://automaniac.in/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Audi-A8-2.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-660 alignright" title="Audi A8 2" src="http://automaniac.in/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Audi-A8-2-300x183.jpg" alt="" width="270" height="165" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Technology</strong><br />
The  engine of  Audi A8 hybrid is the  2.0 TFSI – a high-tech powerplant. This four-cylinder unit, which has been named “Engine of the Year” five times in a row since 2005, is an example of Audi’s downsizing philosophy. It combines direct fuel injection with turbocharging and the AVS Audi valvelift system, which regulates the valve lift in two stages. In combination with the adjustable  intake camshaft, the Audi valvelift system improves cylinder charging and ensures spontaneous and powerful torque build-up. The 2.0 TFSI delivers 155 kW (211 hp) and 350 Nm (258.15 lb-ft); the torque value remains constant from 1,500 to 4,200 rpm.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://automaniac.in/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Audi-A8-3.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-661" title="Audi A8 3" src="http://automaniac.in/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Audi-A8-3-300x183.jpg" alt="" width="270" height="165" /></a> <a href="http://automaniac.in/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Audi-A8-5.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-662 alignright" title="Audi A8 5" src="http://automaniac.in/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Audi-A8-5-300x183.jpg" alt="" width="270" height="165" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Electric power.</strong><br />
A hydraulically operated wet clutch links the 2.0 TFSI with the electric motor. Its control requires the utmost precision, and a great deal of know-how has been expended to achieve its smooth, precise and swift operation. The synchronous motor, which is continually excited, also serves as a generator that develops 33 kW (45 hp) of power and 211 Nm (155.63 lb-ft) of torque. Its full power is available practically right from standstill and contributes to a sportily powerful start-up. Since an electric motor also develops heat, its housing is furnished with cooling ducts. Interposed between the electric motor and the wheelset of the eight-speed tiptronic, which is controlled entirely by electronics, is an additional cut-out clutch. In conjunction with the electric unit, this functions as a torque converter. The propulsive power of both drive systems is applied to the road through the front wheels.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://automaniac.in/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Audi-A8-6.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-663" title="Audi A8 6" src="http://automaniac.in/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Audi-A8-6-300x183.jpg" alt="" width="270" height="165" /></a> <a href="http://automaniac.in/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Audi-A8-7.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-664 alignright" title="Audi A8 7" src="http://automaniac.in/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Audi-A8-7-300x212.jpg" alt="" width="270" height="191" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Battery with Lithium-ion technology</strong><br />
The energy storage system of the Audi A8 hybrid is mounted in the rear section. This state-of-the-art lithium-ion battery is more compact and weighs less than other types but is substantially more powerful. It is protected by a high-strength housing, and a ventilation module ensures that it always operated within the ideal temperature range. Yet the A8 hybrid also provides ample luggage space of 400 liters (14.13 cubic feet)</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Several subsystems that operate on engine power in a conventional car have been modified right from the start for use in the Audi A8 hybrid. The compressor in the climate control system runs entirely on electric power. The steering system is electromechanical as well. The brake booster too is supplied by a demand-controlled electric vacuum pump. During electrical – i.e. recuperative – braking actions, a sophisticated control system ensures that the ABS and ESP functions operate properly.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The power electronics unit manages the interaction of the systems. Its pulse control inverter regulates the interplay of the battery and the electric motor. The DC-DC converter supplies power to users on the onboard network. The power electronics unit, which is connected to the battery and the electric motor by high-voltage cables, is located in the engine compartment.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The smooth interaction of these components and their high level of integration attest to the specialized know-how Audi has accumulated. The technology architecture already provides a glimpse of a future production model – the Audi Q5 hybrid, which will be introduced later this year.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Driving experience.</strong><br />
The Audi A8 hybrid, which weighs 1,885 kilograms (4,155.71 lb), drives as if it had a big six-cylinder gasoline engine or a TDI under its hood. From zero to 100 km/h (62.14 mph) the vehicle accelerates in 7.6 seconds, and it can continue to accelerate up to 235 km/h (146.02 mph). Yet its fuel consumption according to the EU cycle is only 6.2 liters per 100 km (37.94 mpg), corresponding to 144 grams CO2/km (231.75 g/mile). In city traffic, the hybrid drive uses about 20 percent less fuel than a conventional drive. Both the car’s performance and its fuel economy benefit substantially from a major advantage of the A8 model series – its lightweight aluminum body based on the Audi Space Frame principle (ASF).</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The hybrid drive is designed for fully electric-powered driving up to 65 km/h (40.39 mph) and for a distance exceeding two kilometers – especially well-suited for driving in the city or residential suburbs. When conditions permit, the driver can also select the electric mode by actuating a separate e-key in the cockpit. Both the display screen of the instrument cluster and the large monitor of the MMI operating system on the dashboard present all momentary power flows in brilliant graphics.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">When the Audi A8 hybrid starts moving, both of its engines interoperate closely to suit varying power demands. Above 65 km/h (40.39 mph) the combustion engine alone does all the propulsive work, while the electric motor supplies onboard users and recharges the battery.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">When the driver lets up on the gas, the combustion engine is disconnected from the drivetrain, so the Audi A8 hybrid ”sails”. In braking and slow-down phases, the e-motor functions as a generator – recuperating energy efficiently and feeding it into the battery.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">When the driver floors the pedal, the engine management temporarily controls the entire system power, and now the electric motor is boosting power. 180 kW (245 hp) and 480 Nm (354.03 lb-ft) endow the big sedan with enormous thrust. The intermediate sprint from 60 to 120 km/h (37.28 to 74.56 mph) in fifth gear for instance is accomplished in 7.5 seconds. The Audi A8 hybrid is an extremely dynamic car – with a fuel efficiency that is setting new standards. This is especially true in everyday user activities. Even its looks betray the power of this near-production concept car with its big 21-inch wheels and their 265/35 tires. Efficiency and sportiness are no paradox at Audi – they go hand in hand.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://automaniac.in/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Audi-A8-10.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-667" title="Audi A8 9" src="http://automaniac.in/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Audi-A8-10-300x212.jpg" alt="" width="270" height="191" /></a> <a href="http://automaniac.in/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Audi-A8-12.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-668" title="Audi A8 12" src="http://automaniac.in/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Audi-A8-12-300x212.jpg" alt="" width="270" height="191" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>The design of the Audi A8 hybrid.</strong><br />
This near-production concept car has 21-inch, two-colour wheel rims styled with highly three-dimensional surface areas. The exterior paint job of the A8 hybrid is in “Prism Silver” with “Spectra Flair” as an accent color – a rainbow effect that’s accentuated in reflected light along creases and seams on the body. The prominently located “hybrid” lettering on both front fenders leaves no doubt about what kind of car this is. The accentuation of its width by a prominent low horizontal spoiler edge and a chrome strip conveys the vehicle’s solid stance on the road.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The engine compartment cover with its high-gloss finish and the glass cover of the battery in the trunk also provide visual links to hybrid technology. And the illuminated doorsteps bear the “hybrid” insignia as an elegant touch to underscore the electric aspect whenever the doors are opened – using LED technology to minimize energy consumption.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">The passengers also see the prominent hybrid logo displayed on the dashboard. The &#8220;Powermeter&#8221; of <em><span style="text-decoration: underline;">AUDI A8 Hybrid</span></em> in addition shows the energy flow in the instrument cluster.</p>
