Even after the market introduction of the small Audi A1 in early 2010, stood the question whether there will be a version of quattro. This technology is synonymous with luxury versions of the brand and now it seems the quattro e about to occur in a mini car A1.

While we have already met the 2012 Audi A6, we weren't clear on what the A6 Hybrid would look like. As it turns out, we had a pretty solid idea, as Audi officials say they have gone out of their way to keep it aesthetically true to the conventional gas-powered model.
The new A6 hybrid is a front-wheel drive affair that offers Audi's 2.0-liter TFSI four-cylinder with a 45-horsepower/155 pound-feet of torque electric motor sitting ahead of the eight-speed Tiptronic gearbox. A modest 1.3 kilowatt-hour lithium-ion battery pack is resident in the trunk to generate 39 kW. Audi quotes an estimated combined fuel economy rating of 38 miles per gallon, noting that the A6 Hybrid can be coaxed up to 62 mph strictly on electricity, and it has a pure-electric range of three kilometers (1.86 miles).
Audi isn't confirming when this new model will go on sale, but it is widely understood that the gas-electric model was conceived with the U.S. in mind, so we wouldn't be surprised to see it roll into American dealerships before it hits the rest of the globe.
Audi has unveiled its mid-range 2012 A6 sedan, and as we learned from advanced photos, it follows closely in the mold of its big brother, the A8. As the range-topping sedan is a pretty piece, that's not a bad thing, but Audi seems to be channeling BMW's old "One sausage, three sizes" design mantra of decades ago. In this case, that means a massive single-frame grille, available LED headlamps (as shown), and a relatively simple and unadorned profile that lends the A6 a premium look that will likely wear well over the years.
The new A6 will be available globally with two gas engines and three TDI diesel powerplants, as well as a front-wheel drive-only hybrid model. The most powerful gasoline-fed model will be the 3.0-liter TFSI Quattro, packing 300 horsepower and 325 pound-feet of torque, routed through a seven-speed S tronic automatic.
Audi has unveiled the new A6 and the sedan comes in a hybrid version. With the Q5 Hybrid, Hybrid A6 becomes the second Audi model to be coupled thermal and electric engines. Under the hood we find a block 4-cylinder 2.0 TFSI 211 bhp, and just behind, an electric motor with an output equivalent to 45ch with 211Nm of torque. The lithium-ion battery nestled it in a secure compartment in the trunk.
The A6 Hybrid can evolve in three ways. If the sedan that can go 3km in zero emission mode, it can run exclusively with block TFSI or hybrid mode. Hybrid Mode
When both motors work together, the electric motor also acts as a generator, thanks to the recovery of braking energy. It may also give a boost to the engine for a revival of power, for example when overtaking.
Performance-wise, the A6 Hybrid swallows the 0 to 100 in only 7.3 seconds with a top speed of 238km / h. It displays a combined cycle fuel consumption of 6.2L per 100 to 142g of CO2 per km, which places France in the neutral zone side bonus. For comparison, the sedan with the 2.0 TDI unit consumes just 4.9L per 100km.

BMW is innovative in their ads, as you can in the flash projection BMW Cinema Advert, but funny? Mercedes can be funny. They ran some very humorous Bluetec ads in Germany.
The Kia Super Bowl ad was quite cool last year and the Hyundai Super Bowl Ad raised attention with Brett Favre. I expect big ads again from these two car brands.

Eisenmann has long been the acme of superior performance exhaust systems. For the first time the exhaust specialist has transformed an entire vehicle. The highest standards, which are hallmarks of Eisenmann, also apply to the carbon aerodynamic package, the alloy wheels, the chassis, and of course the exhaust system. This converts the Audi R8 into the Spark Eight by Eisenmann.
Not only does the aerodynamic package contribute to its ultimate visual effect, it also improves the functionality of the super sports car from Ingolstadt. The components significantly improve the driving dynamics and the load distribution between front and rear axle. The new carbon outfit includes the spoiler with grille and fins (7800 Euro including VAT), the brake cooling chambers (1260 Euro), the front splitter (1800 Euro), the rear spoiler with grille (4800 Euro), and the rear diffuser (3800 Euro).
It goes without saying that exhaust systems are the domain of Eisenmann. The Spark Eight by Eisenmann is fitted with a performance stainless steal system, with a gigantic tailpipe exit in the center of the rear spoiler (4600 Euro).

For the Spark Eight by Eisenmann, visual appearance, sound and performance enter into a perfect symbiosis. All of the above is based on experience Eisenmann has amassed in motoring. Many years of research and development for racetracks and motorways alike have merged into an unrivaled project.
