The Latest Breaking News from Ingolstadt

Audi's Five-Cylinder Engine Will Live On Outside Europe

Mercedes recently said goodbye to the V12 engine in Europe, and now its rival Audi is preparing to bid farewell to an iconic powertrain as well. Ingolstadt will end production of the inline-five for European markets by mid-2027. However, much like the twelve-cylinder engine from Stuttgart, the five-cylinder mill will…

A First For Audi: New Model Is Coming To America Before Global Rollout

Audi: New Supercar Could Happen 'Someday'

Audi’s lineup could certainly use more pizzazz. Thankfully, Ingolstadt is spicing up the portfolio this year with a new RS5 sedan and wagon, while the next-gen RS6 is also due in 2026 in both body styles. But neither model addresses a gap in the company’s range: a two-door car. With…

In Defense Of Car Bloat: Why Performance Cars Must Get Fatter To Survive

When the Audi RS5 Avant debuted last week, one key figure from the technical specifications sheet immediately stood out. Not the horsepower, not the torque, or even the performance stats—but the weight. Ingolstadt's super wagon apparently went on a McDonald’s diet, adding a massive 1,378 pounds (625 kilograms) from one…

Audi Denies Sports Car Cancellation Rumors

Audi’s lineup could certainly use more spice. With no TT or R8 in the portfolio, a dedicated sports car is sorely missing. Ingolstadt doesn’t even sell a coupe or a convertible these days, having waved goodbye to the two-door A5 models some time ago. There is, however, a light at…

The Weird Audi A2 Is Coming Back, But Not As You Know It

Audi is gearing up for a busy 2026, with multiple product launches locked in for the remainder of the year. While enthusiasts are eagerly awaiting the new RS5, the SUV-loving crowd has its eyes on the next-generation Q7 and the first-ever Q9. At the other end of the lineup, Ingolstadt…

Audi CEO: A Truck Is The Last Thing We'd Build

Audi is known for thinking outside the box, and the quirky A2 is probably the best example of Ingolstadt’s willingness to experiment. There was also a time when you could buy a Q7 with a V12 diesel engine, while an R8 powered by a five-cylinder nearly became reality. At one…

Audi Confirms RS5 Plug-In Hybrid Is Coming This Year

When Audi outlined its plans for 2026 a few months ago, it conveniently left out what will arguably be its most exciting product. Aside from an entry-level EV, the next-generation Q7, and the first-ever Q9, Ingolstadt will spice up its lineup with a long-awaited RS model. In an announcement made…

Audi Claims Its New V-6 Diesel Engine Has Zero Turbo Lag

With the European Union breathing down automakers’ necks to slash emissions, the diesel engine is gradually fading. Its market share has plunged from over 50 percent in the pre-Dieselgate era to just eight percent in the first ten months of the year. That puts diesel in fourth place among drivetrains,…

Audi's Five-Cylinder Engine Powers a New Car. It's Not The One We Wanted

Good news: The Volkswagen Group is putting Audi’s turbocharged 2.5-liter engine in another car besides the RS3. Bad news: it’s not the long-rumored Golf R with five cylinders. Instead, Cupra once again gains access to Ingolstadt’s illustrious inline-five. The Formentor VZ5 originally debuted in early 2021 as a special edition…

The New Audi Q3 Sportback Proves SUV Coupes Aren't Going Anywhere
