Mad About Cars

The new Audi S6, which is due to be released in 2012, is a hotly anticipated car, and has recently been spotted in Sweden.

Paparazzi have been trying to grab a shot of the car since it was announced that Audi would be added to the A6 range last summer but until now they have failed to get any shots.

The car looks strikingly similar to it’s little brother, but what gives the game away are the quad tail exhaust pipes and the aggressive side skirts. The engine is expected to be a 4.0 litre V8 with a bhp of 415. We can’t wait to see it in the metal.

I don’t think there is another range where I would love any of the cars a manufacturer has to offer. This is of course for non-sports cars manufacturers. Let’s just think for a minute what Italian car makers Alfa Romeo have on offer. There is the smallest but nippy Mito, the hatchback 147, the saloon 159, the Brera, the GT and the Spider and all of them are fantastic cars in their own way. All cars can be upgraded into luxury versions and they have lots of perks just as standard. The only other car manufacturer where I like all of their models is Audi – the A3 (S3), A4 (S4 & RS4), A5 (S5), A6 (S6, RS6), A8 (S8), TT (TTS) and the RS8.

Recently my beloved Audi A6 broke down on me while camping in Anglesey. I got recovered home and then took a look into what was wrong with the car. So in the meantime while the car is being fixed I am using a Y reg Ford Fiesta that is great. It’s better on economy than my 1.8 turbo Audi and is handy for getting in any tight parking spaces. It’s a much more practical car. But the one thing I miss is the thrust and pace of the Audi. I also miss having a quiet cabin that doesn’t rattle when you go over 70.

The Q7, was first rolled out the shed around 3 years ago as it rocketed to the top shelf of our 4×4 stores on a grand scale as one of the most, if not the most, comfortable, sporty, high performance, business and recreational use vehicle ever to hit our market!

Now, in 2010, were set to see a bigger, better, new improved Q7 that’s more elegant in style and more efficient in all the best areas.

This version is to comprise much lower emissions. The Q7 3.0L TDI will consume only 9.1litres of fuel per 100 kilometres!

And if that wasn’t good enough for you, there’s an even better option – introducing the world’s cleanest diesel technology with fuel consumption even lower still! A mere 8.9 Lt consumption to every 100 km!

This will ensure Audi a leadership position!….

Almost a third of car sales for the month of January plummet as the effects of the economy hit hard. Leading Car Dealerships like Audi say they have suffered a 29% loss and up to 31% around Europe. Its a lack of consumer confidence and the record sales that hit last year that reflects this major decrease.

“This year wont be easy for anyone” said Peter Schwarzenbauer, an Audi board member, ” But our strategy remains expansive” he added….

On a positive note, in comparison with competitors, Audi’s attempt to target the younger market has been a well recieved success, with a younger based product range it has proven a growing market share.

And with bright spots such as Austrailia bringing up to a 6% increase in sales, there are certainly means for some action….
