2018 Audi A8

The all-new 2018 Audi A8 was finally revealed this past Tuesday at the Audi Summit in Barcelona, loaded with technological innovations and sweet new features.

The new A8 will be the first car released with Level 3 autonomous driving, aka, Audi AI Traffic Jam Pilot. That means this Audi will be capable of driving all by itself at speeds up to 37 miles per hour via a combination of lidar, a forward-facing camera, radar, and sonar. The system will only work on highways with a physical barrier between traffic lanes, and will have set limits on capabilities depending on the national/state laws.

The traffic jam pilot manages starting, accelerating, steering and braking. The driver no longer needs to monitor the car permanently. They can take their hands off the steering wheel permanently and, depending on the laws, perform a different activity that is supported by the car, such as watching the on-board TV.

The new A8 will also be equipped with Audi AI Remote Parking and AI Remote Garage Pilot, which allow owners to use a remote or smartphone to activate a mode that autonomously steers the A8 in and out of a parking space or a garage. The phone app even lets owners watch the car park itself via the A8's 360-degree cameras.

The best development thus far is the optional ‘relaxation seat’, an addition that allows a passenger to warm and massage the soles of their feet. The rear passenger can control ambient lighting, seat massage settings, and their private phone via a separate operating unit.

 The new A8 wont be released in the US right away, so be sure to stay tuned for updates on the US arrival at our site, and check out our inventory in the meantime! 

Audi's New S7

As the auto market becomes increasingly narrow, automakers tend to sharpen themselves up by increasing the sportiness in their designs, and generally assimilating their standard features with each other. Its easy to become weary of gilded family cars with heavy bravado, so Audis continuous production of timeless, unique and stunning designs serves as a delightful breath of fresh air. 

 The 2017 Audi S7 is the raw performance version of the already renowned A7 all-wheel drive luxury hatchback. It seats four, and comes equipped with a potent 4.0 L twin-turbocharged V8 engine with an output of 450 horsepower and 406 lb-ft of torque. The S7 also gets bigger brakes than its predecessor and a tauter suspension. This powerful setup gets an average of 22 mpg, which is impressively frugal considering the swift powertrain.

The S7s seats are upholstered in high quality diamond stitched Valcona leather with matching accents. The interior layout is remarkably concise, and theres an air of palpable German luxury. All materials are genuine and are employed beautifully. The S7 additionally comes with an enrapturing 14 speaker BOSE surround system that may very well put your home sound system to shame. Paired with the plush seats and cozy interior ambience, this cars cabin is sure to capture your heart.

The exterior design of the A7/S7 family is unequivocally refreshing and satisfying. Yes, the design satisfies me. It satisfies me because it obviously started with a clear ‘car’ image. Not a sneaker, not a waterfall, not an animal, but a car. The result is a quaintly understated dynamo that has all the right stuff in all the right places. Nevertheless, there’s no need to fret about the shape being overtly cookie cutter. It sports a hatchback rear, a low to the ground, performance-ready stance, and an elegantly tapered body.

The S7 is a great car; it’s fun to drive, it’s beautiful, and it doesn’t make you compromise for it. When you see this car, it speaks for itself. We have some here in our inventory you can check out, and you can schedule your test drive there too!

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 A5

The 2017 Audi A5 is a four passenger luxury coupe that also comes as a convertible (the Cabriolet). At first glance, the body of the A5 doesn’t appear to have been given much of a redesign for 2017. The shape and size is almost identical to the previous model, but the subtle design enhancements definitely give it more of an edge. The new A5 has deeper cuts with more angular lines than before, as well as larger air intakes and a more defined rear. The adjustments look much sportier and add more masculinity to the overall look. 18-ich alloy wheels, automatic xenon lights, headlight washers, rain-sensing wipers, heated mirrors, and front and rear parking sensors come standard.

2018 Audi Q5

Although the recently released 2018 Audi Q5 mainly holds true to its predecessor’s well-known image, it does offer an all new under-body composition.The Q5 is powered by a turbocharged 2.0 L 4-cylinder, and is now paired with a 7-speed S tronic automatic transmission. The engine generates an output of 252 hp and 273 lb-ft of torque. 

The new model comes standard with Quattro all-wheel drive, just as the previous model did. However; the new model is also equipped with Audi’s Ultra technology, which optimizes the AWD for performance and efficiency. The Ultra technology helps save fuel by strictly powering the front wheels as often as possible. However, the system can instantaneously send power and grip to tires that need it most, subject to driving environment and circumstance.

Exterior improvements are in the smaller details this year. The Q5s distinctive design was already undeniably handsome, but the latest shield grille design and sharpened LED lights definitely enhance the overall look. The interior gets a bit more legroom and introduces a slew of Audis latest technology innovations. The Audi virtual cockpit is a fully digital 12.3-inch instrument cluster with a vivid screen, integrated with convenient features such as navigation, audio and phone connectivity, Google Earth, and Google Street View. Other key features include Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and driver assist features that use radar and sensors to recognize various driving conditions and scenarios.

All Q5s include the expected airbags and stability control, plus a system that begins closing windows and the optional moonroof if it detects a collision, and they can also automatically brake to prevent a collision or mitigate its severity at speeds below 52 mph. Big options include adaptive cruise control that can slow the vehicle to a halt and then start it up again in a traffic jam, as well as blind spot monitors, rear automatic braking, and rear cross traffic alert.

The Q5s redesign could better be described as a selective evolution. Audi keenly kept the winning features of 2017s Q5 rendition while amplifying the overall comfort and connectivity. The Q5 has become very well rounded, and stands out as an excellent choice for anyone in the compact SUV market. Visit our site here for updates and additional information on the 2018 Q5.
