Audi's A game
2010 Audi S4: AJAC has named it the Best New Sports/Performance Car over $50,000 for 2010 Audi
The brand's first 100 years were filled with booms and busts, big egos and bitter rivalries that turned into alliances. Today, Audi has an expanded lineup and more growth is planned
2011 Audi A1: new details revealed
Audi A1 Sportback Concept
Although previous reports pointed that the launch of the Audi A1 will be this autumn
it appears that the German manufacturer will launch its new hatchback next year at the Geneva Motor Show, says Car Magazine.
The A1 will be the first rival for the Mini Cooper developed by Audi and according to Peter Schwarzenbauer, Audi AG board member for sales and marketing, the upcoming car will look almost exactly like the A1 concepts (the Metroproject Quattro and A1 Sportback - shown in the photo gallery). The first version which will be built by Audi will be the three-door version but our sources point at a five-door A1 Sportback, an A1-based SUV to take on the upcoming Mini Crossover and a convertible.

Audi e-tron Headed For Production
Today, proving our assumptions right and themselves totally incapable of convincingly playing coy, Audi has finally dispensed with the subterfuge and officially confirmed that the Audi e-tron concept is slated for production.
Initially unveiled last month at the Frankfurt Motor Show, no hints were given about the e-tron concept’s production potential until a few weeks after its debut when Audi introduced the Vertical Run video game for PS3, featuring the e-tron concept on center stage. When explaining the motivation behind the game, Audi marketing directors stressed the importance of reaching out to the new, digital generation, which would have been largely a waste of money had Audi intended to keep the e-tron in the concept garage but will ultimately prove to be a very strategic move. According to Audi of America president Johan de Nysschen, a completely production-ready model of the e-tron won’t be ready until at least 2012 but “running samples” could hit showrooms as early as 2011.
Judging by the amount of energy Audi has devoted to promoting the e-tron in its current form, its likely the production version will differ very little from the concept. If such is the case, the 2012 Audi e-tron will bear a heavy resemblance to the R8 but, like the concept, will only measure just slightly larger than the TT. Power will be source to four electric motors and a lithium ion battery back that together will crank out power roughly equivalent to 313-horsepower and a rubber-burning 3,319 lb-ft of torque.
Given its supercar specs and the fact that EV technology still doesn’t come cheap, don’t expect the e-tron to offer up the poor man’s version of the Tesla Roadster. Prices will likely fall in the 6-figure range and barring any extraordinary developments in the lithium ion battery industry, initial production quantities will likely be very limited.
Audi A1
In direct contrast to the reports published in February, it now appears as those Audi has given the compact A1’s North American debut the green light. Initially, Audi expressed doubts over the success of a mini-sized car with a full-sized price tag, but a rather dramatic shift in the market has apparently quelled those fears. Now, sources are claiming that the Audi A1 will be washing up on U.S. shores as early as 2011, just in time to take on both an expanding MINI Cooper line and its sister, the impending BMW 0 Series.
Accordingly, the A1 will be offered in both 3- and 5-door body styles, with an A1 SUV rumored as a possible later entrant to compete with the MINI Crossover. Specifics regarding the powertrain are also similarly sparse but if the MINI is indeed the A1’s target we expect power to be comparable.

2010 Audi Q7
The Audi Q7 gets a midcycle freshening, with modest enhancements inside and out, for model-year 2010. The large crossover will officially debut next week at the 2009 Shanghai Auto Show.
The exterior styling changes are minimal: redesigned grille and bumpers, LED turn signals and daytime running lights, four new paint colors and new 18-inch alloy wheels. An optional aluminum exterior package includes chrome bars in the bumpers and door moldings, as well as body-color lower bumpers and contrasting-color front apron and diffuser.
The Q7 3.0 TDI will continue for model-year 2010. In the U.S. market, Audi also will still offer two gasoline engines, the 276-horsepower 3.6 FSI V6 and the 345-hp 4.2 FSI V8, in the 2010 Q7, which goes on sale in October.
