A VW Golf TDI gets frozen in ice. Will it start?

2010-04-20T08:55:00.001-07:00

Yesterday’s diesels had trouble starting in the cold. But Volkswagen TDI Clean Diesels are different. With advanced direct-injection technology, they’re designed to start reliably when the thermometer drops. To prove it, we’re putting a 2010 Golf TDI into a giant freezer to simulate the temperatures you’d find in the world’s coldest city, Yakutsk, Siberia.

A coffee filter shows how clean Clean Diesel is.

Diesels have a reputation for being dirty. But the advanced technology in Volkswagen TDI clean diesels makes that a thing of the past. To demonstrate just how clean clean diesel really is, we test the new Volkswagen Touareg TDI against a traditional diesel. Can TDI clean diesel technology really reduce sooty emissions by 95%? The proof is in the coffee filters.

Audi RS5: Revealed

2010-03-03T11:34:00.000-08:00

We can't get enough of the new Audi RS5 , so here are more live impressions from the Geneva Motor Show. A must see!

Audi has listed the base price of the car only in Euros (77,000), but we'll hold on to hope until Audi officially states the car won't be sold across the pond.

Why do we want the RS5 in the U.S. so bad? For starters, it's got a 450 horsepower version of Audi's tried and true 4.2-liter V8 paired to the legendary Quattro AWD. Combine that with perhaps the best looking coupe designs on the market today and you've got one heck of an appealing Sportcar.

Audi A5 Concept - Protoype Report

2010-01-25T11:56:00.000-08:00

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

2010-01-20T12:02:00.000-08:00

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!

2010-01-20T11:49:00.000-08:00

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!

2010-01-19T12:16:00.000-08:00

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.
