AUDI launches the all-new Fourth Generation A8

Audi has unveiled the latest generation of its flagship Audi A8 model at the Audi Summit in Barcelona, Spain. This is the fourth generation of Audi' interpretation of a full sized luxury sedan and the new Audi A8 comes packed with technology wrapped in a familiar yet slightly different exterior. Still unmistakably Audi.

Audi previews its latest 2.0 TFSI engine

Audi previewed its latest 4 cylinder direct injection petrol engine recently. The new engine in 2.0TFSI form was shown at the Vienna Motor Symposium in a 190hp, 320Nm specification. The engine is more efficient and will be used for the first time in the upcoming Audi A4 model scheduled to launched at the end of 2015.

According to Audi, the new engine is a prime example of the Audi 'rightsizing strategy' balancing vehicle size with power, torque and efficiency of the engine and drivetrain. Whatever that means is that the new engine benefits from the fuel conserving Miller cycle combustion principles as well as utilising the current TFSI technology of direct injection, variable valve timing as well as turbocharging.

Expect this engine to form the basis of all new Audi engines after the launch of the all-new Audi A4 at the end of this year.

Geneva 2014: 2015 Audi TT unveiled

2015 Audi TTS 

The Geneva Motor Show 2014 is on-going at the moment and automobile manufacturers are quite busy previewing new cars over there. Audi has decided to use Geneva as its place to unveil the all new Audi TT. Although this is the all new and improved TT, people who aren't car people may think it is the same car. 

Like recent Audis, the TT has a evolutionary design (which in my opinion needs a little bit of a shake up as it still looks similar to the outgoing one and to other more bread and butter Audis out there) which features the usual large hexagonal grille and LED daytime driving lights (with optional LED main headlights too this time around). The only difference is that the four rings Audi logo now resides on the bonnet instead of on the grille. Ooooo...Audi, what prominent changes you have made to the TT.
