Just a few days ago the Audi pulled the wraps of its latest RS5. Audi has been rather quiet in this segment over recent times. As a result it has been overshadowed by the likes of the headline-grabbing Mercedes-AMG C63S and the BMW M3. But, with the most recent iteration, the Audi RS5, once again, […]
A few weeks ago we ran an article that outlined the incredible car collection of Lando Norris (link here). It seems the young Brit isn’t the only one who enjoys a good/classic road car.

The Audi R8 had become a firm favourite among tuners. The V10 powerplant, borrowed from stablemate Lamborghini, and all-wheel-drive makes it formidable on the drag strip. Bolt on a pair of turbochargers and they can make oodles of power. But this wild Audi R8 has been built as a hillclimb machine like no other. Follow […]

Time really does fly. It seems hard to believe that the Audi RS6 turns twenty this year. To celebrate this milestone the company trotted out pristine examples of the RS6 to the Canadian wilderness.

The Audi Q5 Sportback range made its debut locally towards the end of 2021. We finally got our hands on a test unit in Audi Q5 Sportback 45 TFSI guise, which we recently drove for a few days. Audi was a bit late to the swoopy SUV party. BMW’s X4 and Mercedes-Benz’s GLC have been […]

A few weeks ago Audi South Africa introduced a revised Q2 into the market. We were sent an Audi Q2 35 TFSI to try out a few days after the launch event. Audi was once just a producer of family sedans, which then expanded to family station wagons. However the changing demands of car buyers […]

Audi has been on a bit of a new-model onslaught over the last year. We didn’t really notice in SA as there were not many new model introductions being carried out by the company’s local subsidiary in 2020, for obvious reasons. However, earlier this week Audi South Africa hosted an event whereby the SA media […]
