Audi without wheels is a futuristic study on a magnetic pad. Flying cars have always fired the human imagination, and the means of transportation of the future in movies have always been presented as such. Designer Kevin Clarridge incorporated the idea into Audi's latest study, and the result is downright impressive.

The Audi E-tron Quattro Concept is the first to arrive in Ingolstadt for Audi's "audition" for the all-electric luxury SUV, which will hit the roads in its final form in 2018 and will be positioned between the Q5 and Q7 models. It is a pure electric study of a crossover with an extremely low coefficient of air resistance, which was presented to the public at the Frankfurt Motor Show.
The fever is rising. The Frankfurt Motor Show 2015 has started and we are looking forward to a really hot automotive autumn, so hot for Slovenians that we can talk about the Indian automotive summer. The automotive industry continues in high gear, and Slovenians will also have quite a bit of it, as many novelties or fresh versions of well-known and popular models will soon hit our roads.
Although Audi is already forging the next generation of the A8 model, this has not stopped the Germans from offering buyers a more powerful version of the S8 model, the S8 Plus. It is powered by a 4.0-liter V8-Biturbo engine that can develop an enviable 605 horses or 445 kilowatts, while the maximum torque is 700 Nm, which jumps to 750 Nm in overboost mode (increasing the overpressure in the blower). The price will be suitable for the equipment and class - 145 thousand euros plus!
The Audi A4 is the best-selling model of this German brand from Ingolstadt, which for the first time in history jointly presented a sedan and a station wagon. At first glance, the new Audi A4 hasn't changed much, but it's lighter and a bit more rugged and muscular than its predecessor. Even if it's just cosmetic fixes on the outside, there are really a lot of new things, but you shouldn't judge a book by its cover. The car will make its debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September, while the official photos are already here.
While some car brands dabble in hoverboards, a German automaker is venturing into space. In fact, Audi has decided to embark on a lunar mission in collaboration with a team of amateur scientists from Germany and Austria and become the first automobile brand to drive on the surface of the Moon and the first vehicle to be there since Apollo 17. With the Audi Lunar Quattro will participate in the Google Lunar XPRIZE prize competition with a cash fund of 30 million US dollars.
The Audi Q7 has always been considered different, so different that in the first generation it lasted practically unchanged for 10 years without significant changes. Because of its imposingness, it attracted mainly those who like a lot and also a little different. In the second generation, it stands out again. Both in terms of technologies and in a form that is equally atypical, able to please many people. But as far as technology is concerned, the first impression is more than excellent and in accordance with Audi's slogan - an advantage in technology. And a big leap into the future. This is mr. Big - the new Audi Q7.
The traditional GTI meeting by Lake Vrbsk will be welcomed again this year by a number of special edition cars. Our eye was especially caught by Audi's TT clubsport concept with 600 "horses", which is inspired by their racing cars of the GT3 series. It is "betrayed" by the large rear wing, and the study itself is a look into Audi's crystal ball, indicating where the TT family could be taken in the future.
Audi Matrix LED headlights have been with us for just under two years, but it seems that there is no end in sight to their potential. That's why the Audi A6 allroad quattro and A6 Avant went almost to the end of the world, to Norway, which, due to the Scandinavian extravagance of darkness, aurora borealis and snowy scenery, seemed like the ideal environment to put the headlights to the ultimate test.
Audi also leaked photos of the second generation Audi R8 (2015) before the Geneva Motor Show. And here too we have something to be happy about. No, these are not women's curves, but the curves and assets of the Audi R8. The "cloths" have also fallen from the rear windshield, under which there is a wonderful view of the 5.2-liter V10 engine with stratified cylinder filling (FSI) technology, which will offer 540- and 610-horsepower versions (V10 Plus model ).
Audi - the brand with four circles on the nose has refreshed its smallest model - the Audi A1 - in the range, which is now available exclusively in a five-door version, as there is not too much interest in the three-door model. There are six engines to choose from, all of which, in addition to the manual gearbox, also have the S tronic automatic transmission. Now, instead of two, there are three equipment packages to choose from, and there are also more options for personalization, including with different style packages.
After about four years of fierce battle with the remaining two members of the German "holy trinity" in the upper middle class, Audi decided it was time to rejuvenate their mid-sized business sedan. With this, the new A6 should continue to compete much more easily and similarly successfully with the previously mentioned ones, and to achieve this, they slightly refreshed its exterior, specifically renovated the engines and offered some missing equipment and technological "sweets".
