The Rambunctious R8

How many of us have always dreamt of driving a fuel efficient sedan with bountiful cargo space? Likely not nearly as many of us that have been dreaming of Lamborghinis and Ferraris. Sports cars are not only what our dreams are made of, theyre also what car manufacturers are made of. Releasing a hot new super car is the perfect way to incite excitement as well as a choice opportunity for automakers to showcase their capabilities. Even more delightful, this outlet also provides an apt opportunity for automakers to exercise their more rambunctious design ideas.


Alas, supercars are normally paired with an equally super price tag, require equally super service, and generally just aren’t designed to meet your day to day driving needs. The R8, however, is actually sold for a relatively low price and offers a bountiful network of dealers. The R8 is also reliable and comfortable enough to be used daily, and paired with Audis phenomenal all-wheel drive system, this sports car is primed to be your daily driver all year round.

The R8 is immediately recognizable, sporting Audis status quo angular body style with piercing headlights and ornate wheels. And just like in many higher end performance cars, you can peek back at the powerhouse through a window tucked just behind the drivers seat. As this is an apt car for your daily driving, the cabin is plenty comfortable and styled to Audis sharp standards of clean and precise design.


The R8 is all new and by far the most powerful Audi production car ever built. For 2017, the R8 features a 5.2 L DOHC V10 fitted with direct injection. The 5.2 L generates 540 horsepower and 398 lb-ft of torque, and goes 0-60 in just 3.5 seconds! The V10 plus model weighs 77 pounds less and has an incredible output of 610 horsepower and 413 lb-ft of torque. The V10 plus can rocket from 0-60 in an exhilarating 3.2 seconds.

Audis 2017 R8 is in the big leagues, no question about it. That doesn’t mean you have to stop dreaming though, as the MSRP starts off at a humble $162,900. Ready for your test drive? Visit us here for easy scheduling.

2017 Audi Q7


The Audi Q7 is back for 2017 after a year hiatus- featuring familiar exterior styling and a freshly simplified cabin rich with comfort and top of the line technology. The scope of variety amongst body styles seems to be narrowing; smaller sedans and coupes are getting tougher while SUVs and vans are slimming down and vamping up their interiors appeal. This is quite advantageous for versatile people who desire amenities and utility equivalently. The new Q7 is a perfect example of the best of both worlds being harmoniously blended without any compromise.


The Q7 is highly acclaimed for its adept handling and a comfortable, composed ride. This is especially the case with the available all-wheel steering- which is quite rare in new cars. The only powertrain currently available in the Q7 is a 3.0 L supercharged V6, paired with an 8 speed transmission, which generates aptly robust power at 333 horsepower and 325 lb-ft of torque. All wheel drive is standard on all trim levels, and they're all equipped with Drive Select, a feature that lets you choose from four driving modes: comfort, dynamic, auto, and off road. Adaptive air suspension, which improves handling and ride quality, is also available.

The cabin is roomier than before and is now heartily appointed with comfy materials. The dashboard design has clearly been emphasized on form and function as a whole, as the methods are all satisfying and easy to remember. Audis MMI is a large touchpad with a dial that sit just above a flat and wide shifter that can act as a convenient resting spot for your wrist while using the system. The touch pad allows you to utilize media, navigation, phone and radio functions with the alternative method of writing with your finger. Is this doesn’t quite make things easier for you, Audis voice recognition is one of the best in the market.


The Insurance Institute for Highway safety gives the 2017 Audi Q7 a Top Safety Pick award and the highest rating of Good in five individual crash tests. In addition to this; the Q7 comes equipped with a multitude of advanced safety technology like parking sensors and forward collision warning that aren’t normally standard.


The Q7 is a timeless player in Audis lineup that continues to provide superior technology and safety with versatile appeal. Audi's design and technology continue to evolve two steps ahead of their competitors in an all-inclusive manner- further solidifying the Q7s top position in the SUV market.
