The Latest Breaking News from Ingolstadt

Audi Says A New R8 Could Happen, But It Hinges On A Few Things

You know that time flies when it’s already been two years since Audi built the final R8. Although Ingolstadt has since approved production of a new performance vehicle, the fully electric Concept C won’t be a true replacement when it arrives next year. Looking further ahead, a proper successor could…

The New Audi Q4 Loses Buttons And Adds A Passenger Screen

Audi’s desirable Concept C promises a return to form with more physical buttons and less reliance on screens. However, it’s unrealistic to expect Ingolstadt’s pledge to materialize overnight, as product development takes time. Before the electric sports car arrives next year and signals a new era, it’s business as usual…

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

European luxury automakers typically take their time bringing new models to the United States. It can take months, if not years, before a product gets its U.S. visa. However, Audi is about to break with tradition by launching the Q9 in the Land of the Free before a 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…

Dealers Hype The Audi Q9: 'That Soccer Mom Vehicle' We Need

Better late than never, Audi is about to enter the full-size luxury SUV segment.

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,…

'Feedback From Customers:' Audi Tells Us Why Some Physical Controls Are Back

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…

Audi's Stunning New Sports Car Concept Is Here—And It's Headed for Production

The New Base Audi E-Tron GT Is Still Plenty Powerful

Sad: Another Sports Car Loses Audi's Five-Cylinder Engine

Founded in 1978, Donkervoort is a Dutch niche marque specializing in hand-built, lightweight sports cars. In the late 1990s, it switched engine suppliers by dropping Ford in favor of Audi.
