A lightweight concept of the Audi A5 concept has been out - a lighter car and much more powerful. It is just a prototype. It is equipped with a 2.0 liter engine, it just proves how good Audi can go up with its technologies and advance in a really good car. This is a very good concept because we do need powerful-supercharged cars as well as light weight cars with powerful engines too, one that Audi is advancing really good in.

Audi R8 5.2 FSI quattro: Handling slalom course faster than Ferrari Enzo
Great review here of the Audi R8 5.2 FSI quattro which handled the slalom course faster than a Ferrari Enzo!We’ve given Audi’s V-8-powered R8 plenty of praise. The addition of Lamborghini’s V-10 nudges the already superlative R8 into the realm of exotic-dom, but don’t think of the R8 as a rebadged Lamborghini Gallardo. There are mechanical similarities, but the German manufacturer has kept to its ways. Instead of screaming for attention, the R8 V-10 has only subtle exterior changes compared to the V-8 version. Intake sideblades are flared outward and there is less restriction into the air ducts. It’s done for a reason—not just aesthetics.
Audi A4, Audi A5 Google Earth integration coming near future!
Here's the video proof that the new MMI and its integration with Google Earth will find its way to the Audi A4 and Audi A5 in the near future! Awesome.But Google Earth capability is not far from the rest of the Audi range.
As it was already stated in an Nvidia press release (exclusive supplier of the grahic chips used for these new Audi MMI units) from 2012 (2013 in the US?) the whole Audi range should be using it.

Audi S4: Showing BMW how its done!
Here's another great review of the Audi S4. Believe the reviews, it's such a fantastic car!
With the all-new 2010 S4 on the market, BMW faces serious competition for its 335i, long touted as the best high-performance sedan on the market. At egmCarTech, we have generally embraced the philosophy of ‘more horsepower, more cylinders’, but the S4 has certainly made us second guess ourselves. Ditching the 340-hp V8 of generations past, the ‘10 S4 has acquired a supercharged 3.0L TFSI engine which produces 333-hp. Don’t be fooled; the S4 is still as quick off the start and lightening fast as ever before. Make the jump to read our take on the new S4 and see how it stands in comparison to the 335i.

Audi R4 at the Detroit auto show 2010
This is Audi’s latest electric E-tron sports car, unveiled at today’s Detroit motor show. Or to give the concept its official name, this is the Audi E-tron Detroit Showcar. Catchy.
More importantly, think of the concept as a glimpse of what the future holds for Audi’s sports car range...
The two-seat E-tron is just 3.93m long (the Bluesport measures 3999mm) so it’s shorter – as well as lower and narrower – than a TT. Unlike the four-motor, four-wheel drive E-tron unveiled at the 2009 Frankfurt show, this E-tron has just two motors and rear-wheel drive. Still, the two electric units (mounted on the rear axle) combine to produce 1955lb ft – down from big brother’s 3319lb ft – and 201bhp so the E-tron is propelled to 62mph in just 5.9 seconds. Together with the smaller shape, aluminium spaceframe and carbonfibre-reinforced plastic body, the E-tron weighs just 1350kg, versus 1600kg for the original E-tron.
The lithium-ion batteries that power the E-tron are mid-mounted and tip the scales at 399kg, giving the show car a 40:60 front-to-rear weight distribution. With the car’s top speed limited to 124mph, their 45kWh capacity gives a 155-mile range.
