AUTOCARS COLECTION 2011

2011 Audi R8 GT powered by a modified version of the R8 V10’s naturally aspirated 5.2-liter direct-injection engine producing 550-horsepower, while thanks to a series of weight-saving measures that shave about 100kg (220 lbs), the car tips the scales at 1,525 kilograms (3,362 lbs).

Maybe you never listened to post more details about this car here, but as a refresher you can read again and see the latest photos.

The GT is a lighter, more powerful and faster variant of the R8. The Audi R8 GT accelerates from zero to 100 km/h (62.14 mph) in 3.6 seconds and reaches a top speed of 320 km/h (198.84 mph). Changes to the engine electronics coaxed an additional 26 kW from the ten-cylinder, which now produces 412 kW (560 hp) from a displacement of 5,204 cc. The torque curve peaks at 540 Nm (398.28 lb-ft) at 6,500 rpm, 10 Nm (7.38 lb-ft) more than in the production version. The V10 has a specific power output of 79.2 kW (107.6 hp) per liter displacement. Its power-to-weight ratio is 3.70 kilograms (8.16 lb) per kW or 2.72 kilograms (6.00 lb) per hp. The engine redlines at 8,700 rpm.

While the GT also benefits from a modified suspension, larger carbon fiber ceramic brakes, 19-inch forged alloys wrapped in 235/35 tires up front and 295/30 at the back, and numerous aero tweaks that are said to improve downforce.

Audi Quattro Concept gets driven around the rally stages of your dreams by a turbocharged 5-cylinder. This revealed in Paris to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the original car’s 1980 debut.

Dimensions officially come in at 4.28 m long, 1.86 m wide, and 1.33 m tall. The designers have cut 150 millimeters (5.9 inches) out of the wheelbase – now 2.6 meters – and chopped the roof by 40 mm in order to save weight from the get-go. In order to reach a svelte 1,300 kilograms / 2,866 lbs (200 kilos / ~441 lbs less than the TT RS).

2010 Audi Quattro Concept use the carbon fiber for the hood, hatch, spoiler, and other bits. Designers have also thrown out the rear seats, which have been replaced with a helmet / luggage shelf. The all-LED light setup at the front fascia, between which sits Audi’s signature wide-mouth grille. Move to the front wide-body fenders and appreciate that underneath lies a 5-link suspension with “key components” in aluminum.

On the interior include the two 18-kilo passenger seats have either three- or four-point harnesses, while the driver faces a fully digital display which has two modes, “normal” and “race”. If opting for race mode that the graphics “revisit and refine” the Ur-quattro’s digital display.

Also Audi has given the driver some more throwbacks: four buttons (two on each side) to control the stopwatch and MMI functions at above the readout. One such multimedia function is the neat web-radio, which uses a cell phone to connect to radio stations worldwide.

Engine, though, the 2.5-liter unit makes 408-horsepower / 300 kW and uses a 6-speed manual transmission to drive all four 20-inch wheels with 480 Nm / 354 lb-ft. Behind the center-locking dubs are carbon-ceramic discs wearing 6-piston grippers.

2010 Audi E-tron Spyder Concept powered by a 300-horse 3.0-liter V6 TDI outfitted with two turbochargers and two 88-horsepower / 64 kW electric motors. The e-tron system in this car will help it hit 100 km/h (62 mph) in 4.4 seconds on its way to a limited 250 km/h (155 mph), provide an all-electric range of 31 miles, return a combined 128.4 mpg, and only pollute your air with 59 g of CO2 per kilometer. Total range is 621 miles for the 1,450-kg car.

The torque-vectoring system that helps put its 1,002 Nm (650 Nm from the TDI and 352 Nm from the motors, aka 739 lb ft) to the ground properly should you give it the beans.

Interior, there’a bunch of technical wizardry feeding the display in the driver-centric layout. The climate control unit is located to the right above the steering wheel. The display provides temperature and ventilation information. Again drawing inspiration from a smartphone, the system is operated by means of a touch-sensitive control panel.

The equally racing-inspired lightweight bucket seats combine excellent lateral support with comfort. Despite the complex drive system layout with two electric motors and their respective drive systems plus the TDI engine, the Audi e-tron Spyder Concept only weighs around 1,450 kilograms (3,196.70 lb).

The Audi Q5 hybrid quattro is the first hybrid model from Audi with two drive systems. Its gasoline engine, a 2.0 TFSI, and its electric motor have a system output 180 kW (245 hp) and 480 Nm (354.03 lb-ft) for sporty dynamics – the mean consumption in the normal cycle (NEDC) is limited to less than 7.0 liters per 100 km (33.60 US mpg).

The sportiest hybrid SUV on the market covers about three kilometers (1.86 miles) locally emission-free at a speed of 60 km/h (37.28 mph), and can drive up to 100 km/h (62.14 mph) under electric power alone.

The 2.0 TFSI and the electric motor of the Audi Q5 hybrid have a system output of 180 kW (245 hp) and a system torque of 480 Nm (354.03 lb-ft). The new top model in the successful Q5 series sprints from 0 to 100 km/h (62.14 miles) in 7.1 seconds, while the interim sprint from 80 to 120 km/h (49.71 to 74.56 mph) is accomplished in fifth gear in 5.9 seconds. The powerful propulsion ends at no less than 222 km/h (137.94 mph).

The consumption lies under 7.0 liters per 100 km (33.60 US mpg) in the normal cycle – that corresponds to a CO2 emission of less than 160 g/km (257.50 g/mile). The 75 liter (19.81 US gallon) tank yields a reliable range comparable to that of a TDI.

A lithium-ion battery system, weighing merely 38 kg (83.78 lb), serves as the energy store for the electric motor of the Audi Q5 hybrid quattro. The compact unit with its 26 liter (6.87 US gallon) capacity is positioned in a crash-safe area under the loading floor, with hardly any detriment to the luggage compartment. The battery consists of 72 cells; at 266 volts its nominal energy is 1.3 kWh and its output 39 kW.

Exterior of Audi Q5 hybrid Quattro include the tailgate, the fenders and the aluminum sill panel strips bear the hybrid lettering. The radiator grill is glossy black, and the tailpipes chrome-trimmed. Polar Silver, metallic is available for the exclusive paintwork. The 19 inch cast aluminum wheels, the tires are size 235/55 with 19 and 20 inch diagonals, with an S-line bumper available from quattro GmbH.

While the interior equipped the options also include sophisticated driver assistance systems, A new feature is connection to the internet via the optional Bluetooth car phone online. Thanks to a special modulation process, UMTS data transfer occurs at speeds up to 7.2 MB per second. Encryption follows the WPA 2 standard – a very secure method.

Audi choose the electric car the R8 E-tron engines for road rally which is run Le Mans, it will be put through its paces across 100 miles of Austria, in the Silvretta E-Auto Rally. The Audi R8 e-tron in Le Mans will be driven by Audi board member Michael Dick and factory driver Lukas Luhr. In Montafon, the e-tron will put its potential to the test in ten different mountain, valley and timed special stages. This is a good opportunity to showcase Audi’s integrated approach and to experience the fascination of electromobility in a sports car on the road.

Audi R8 E-Tron built on an aluminium space-frame, power comes from four electric motors – two at the front, two at the rear – with power split 70 percent to the rear, 30 percent to the front. The water-cooled, lithium ion battery pack is mounted behind the driver, giving the car a 42:58 weight distribution ratio.

The result with 313bhp and a claimed top speed of 124mph, recharging from a standard power point takes between six and eight hours, although some energy is recouped during braking.

As you can see above is the new Audi A7 Sportback, most differences concern practical details such as the shape and size of the exterior mirrors, and the air-inlets on the front bumper. The car also keeps the show car’s five-door body style with a practical rear hatch.

The styling of the interior is almost identical to the concept, sans the colors and the decorative trim. From what we know, the just-under 5-meters long A7 Sportback will be strictly for four passengers.

At launch it will be offered with both diesel and gasoline V6 engines including the new 3.0-liter TSI unit with some 290-horsepower. It goes without saying that the A7 Sportback will be available with Audi’s Quattro all-wheel drive system and S-tronic dual clutch transmissions.
