“competition”. It is one of the latest designations in Audi’s repertoire of limited models. Near as we can tell it began with upgrade packages for the A1, and now Audi has begun to roll out some kitted models that bear the name. We were intrigued enough to add one to our fleet in the form of a TT.

China is a rapidly-growing market for Audi, so rapid in fact that it’s surpassed Ingolstadt’s largest regions such as the USA, UK and even Germany. No surprise then that an event like AutoShanghai 2013 is critical to Audi and its business. While we didn’t travel to Shanghai to cover AutoShanghai, we’ve gathered a healthy collection of photography, video and information from the show to keep Audi aficionados informed. Below is a rundown.

Adding international intrigue to the Geneva Motor Show this year was Dutch sportscar manufacturer Spyker. The little marque that could has survived grandiose yet failed efforts to purchase an F1 team and then later a sickly Swedish maker of hyper eccentric automobiles known as Saab. Each of those strategies proved unfruitful so the focus has [...] More…

“Wanna know how much I love Audi?,” a fellow journalist quizzed me as I greeted him in a waiting area just outside a Chelsea Pier photo studio on Manhattan’s west side the night before the opening of the 2013 New York Auto Show. “How much?” “I’m skipping out on Daniel Craig and the Range Rover [...] More…

Forget the fact that English isn’t his first language… and maybe even his second or third. Filipe Albuquerque speaks it both fluently and quickly. When asked whether there’s any confusion jumping from the R8 LMS with its refined aero package to the less-optimized R8 GRAND-AM, he didn’t even seem concerned. The 27-year old Portuguese Audi factory driver pointed out that he has always found himself to be a quick study. You put him in a car, and he learns the nuance and the limits very fast. That adaptability probably explains why Filipe came out of seemingly nowhere at the 2010 Race of Champions and bested the likes of Sebastian Vettel, Michael Schumacher and Tom Kristensen in an upset victory for the ‘new guy’.

While an industry show like Geneva is normally geared more toward production cars, Audi chose to place considerable emphasis on its own motorsport endeavors this year. At any given time, no less than three Audi racecars were in the spotlight on the Audi stand – the new R8 LMS ultra, the Daytona-winning Audi R8 GRAND-AM and of course the newly named Audi RS 5 DTM. These competition models, as well as some of Audi’s production launches, were also presented by a large number of Audi Sport’s own factory drivers.

If you’re a car enthusiast with Legos around the house, then you’ve likely thought of building your favorite Audi. Cars like the boxy 70s and 80s era Audis may even be considered a piece of cake when constructed in the form of the plastic toy blocks, but what of the curvaceous Audi R18 LMP racer? In the spirit of this week’s 12 Hours of Sebring may we submit this ultimate R18 Lego build by Sicil from Russia.

The international motor show in Geneva, Switzerland is important to Audi on a number of fronts. The event is one of Europe’s biggest and a major international stage for design and technology. As a result, Ingolstadt has shown very significant models here over the years – from the original quattro in 1980 to concepts like the A3 sedan shown in 2011. More often than not, the focus for Audi is technology-leading production cars and 2013 marked no exception to that trend. More…
