The Audi's Shining star "AUDI A3 Sedan"



Well the first look of Audi A3 reminds you of any other sedan like the A4 or the A6. But the interior gets an improvement with the all new classy air vents and simple looking dashboard. Audi will offer two engine options for the 2015 A3, with the entry-level 1.8T model getting 1.8-liters and the 2.0T getting 2.0-liters, both turbocharged and with Audi's four valve per-cylinder, DOHC system. The A3 1.8T is front wheel drive, with 170 HP and 200 lb-ft of torque, and Audi claims a 0-60 mph time of 7.2 seconds to an electronically-limited top speed of 130 mph.
The A3 2.0T, meanwhile, uses Audi's all-wheel drive Quattro system, and gets 220 HP, 258 lb-ft of torque, and does the 0-60 mph run in 5.8 seconds on the way to the same top speed. Both route their power through a six-speed S tronic dual-clutch transmission.


Well its an amazing buy for someone who's looking a low end premium luxury vehicle which can not only gives you the comfort of a premium sedan but also gives you the opportunity to take your hands behind the wheels and unleash the beast.

Next Audi Q7 SpyShots !!


For years, the concept of an electric turbocharger was essentially a joke sold on eBay to boost power in your slammed Civic, but in the last five years it has moved from an idea on a piece of paper to a feasible reality. Audi has already toyed with a showcase of the cutting-edge tech in road cars with the RS5 TDI concept. Now, reports suggest an electric turbo may make it to the streets as soon as next year in the next-gen Q7 (spy shot pictured above).

"I can confirm we are working on the development of the e-boost definitely," said Ulrich Weiss, Audi's diesel engine boss, to Australia-based Drive. He didn't give an exact timeframe but hinted at sometime next year, possibly in the Q7. He also suggested the chance of an RS-branded diesel model in the vein of the RS5 TDI concept on the horizon, as well.

This tech isn't entirely new for the folks in Ingolstadt. Audi's R18 endurance racer already uses such a system to capture waste heat from the engine, converting it to electric power to further power the hybrid car. The RS5 TDI concept employs a similar idea with a 3.0-liter, twin-turbocharged V6 with an electric supercharger to make up for the turbo lag. It's able to pump out 385 horsepower and 553 pound-feet of torque and allegedly sprint to 62 miles per hour in four seconds.

If a version of this system makes it to the next Q7 with its rumored weight loss of roughly 800 pounds, we're thinking this might be one of the few SUVs that could hold the interest of enthusiast drivers.
