Video of Audi TT Reality? Check.

 

 

If you ever wondered what an Audi TT can really do, take a few minutes to watch the videos shown here.  The theme is to create a video with a stock Audi TT and have just a whole bunch of fun with it, but doing the project through the eyes of a child.  After all, who has a better imagination that a child?

 

The Audi TT is every bit as enjoyable to drive as it looks, and these videos were done without the assistance of computer generation- although it's hard to believe that at times.  Visit www.quadcitiesaudi.com to see our selection of Audi TT and other models.

Audi Unveils Electric Crossover Vehicle at Frankfurt Show



As electric cars are becoming more viable, Audi is preparing to enter the fray with a crossover vehicle as early as 2018, with the Etron Quattrao.  Length-wise, it falls in between the existing Q5 and Q7 models.

 

According to Audi, there would be three electric motors, one in the front and two in the rear.  The goal, according to Audi CEO Rupert Stadler is to  "lead the industry in connectivity and energy efficiency."

 

 



 

Once again, Audi is staying far ahead of the curve when it comes to in-vehicle technology.  Audi's latest revelation is the "Virtual Cockpit". 
 

Audi describes the Virtual Cockpit like this:  "Everything in view, directly in front of the driver - The Audi virtual cockpit, a fully digital instrument cluster, is completely driver-focussed. The 12.3-inch TFT display depicts all the information in razor-sharp, brilliantly clear and high-contrast quality".
 

Originally introduced only the Audi TT, the Virtual Cockpit will soon be available on other models including Q7 the as well.  The beauty of the Virtual Cockpit is that the driver is able to change their view of the completely digital dash view.  There are no analog instruments whatsoever, everything on the digital screen.  Even in bright sunlight, the screen is beautifully clear.  This truly is the instrument cluster of the future.  Visit our Showroom to see all of our new Audi models at Audi of Quad Cities in Davenport, IA.



Introducing the 2015 Audi A3

The Audi A3 appears to be the hands-down winner in the expanding compact luxury sedan class.  With the A3, Audi has been able to do a small luxury car, without sacrificing style, performance or luxury. 

The unmistakable front end and stylish curves leave no doubt that this is an Audi, basically a little smaller and sportier version of it's larger siblings.  Since the A3 is, obviously, smaller than the A4 inside and out, Audi has streamlined the interior, rather than trying to cram all of the A4's controls into a smaller space.  The result is a stream-lined, yet elegant and intuitive cockpit.   One change is the very cool 7" pop-up screen on the A3, rather than the built-in and sometimes-obtrusive screens on competitors models. 

Standard features include leather power seats, glass sunroom, and HD/Satellite radio, with the Audi MMI infotainment system. 

The standard engine in the A3 for 2015 is an inline 4-cylinder that produces 170 horsepower with 200 ft-lbs of torque.  The 2.0 TSFI model bumps those numbers to 220 horses with 258 ft-lbs of torque.  Either engine provides excellent mileage (23/33 and 24/33 mpg, respectively), far outdistancing many of it's competitors.
