Several months ago I invested in my first Kickstarter project. The subjectmatter was a children’s storybook about a father and son who make a barn find of a vintage racecar – a Maserati to be specific. As a father of two young children, it struck me as a worthy plan and one that would pay dividends in fostering the car culture bug in the mind of my kids.

Marvel Comics has a new spinoff ready to launch in the form of a television series dubbed Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. by Avengers movie series director Joss Whedon. A 30-second spot (below) dropped yesterday and it just may have revealed a further Audi tie-in with Marvel Comics. More…
Jon Olsson may be best known for his competitive freestyle skiing, but around these parts he’s the Gumballer with the insane supercharged, carbon-bodied and ski box bedecked R8 V10. Jon’s Audi was built with PPI GTR bodywork and STaSIS supercharger specifically to impress on the Gumball 3000 road rally and that it did. So how does he follow it up? Well, he’s gone and built himself a “street legal” LMP car with the help of former Koenigsegg chief engineer Leif Tufvesson. More…
The spot stars Zachary Quinto (Spock in the new movie) versus Leonard Nimoy (the ur Spock) in a race to the country club for a round of golf. Zachary drives the Audi S7 while Nimoy drives a Mercedes-Benz CLS. Who wins? It’s not hard to guess, but we’ll refrain from spoiling beyond the fact that Leonard drops the F-bomb and it’s got nothing to do with his race results. More…
The new R8 is the fastest production car Audi has ever launched, and it has arrived in Australia. An all-new range-topping model – the R8 V10 plus – is powered by a hand-built 5.2-litre V10 that demolishes 100km/h in just 3.5 seconds and is capable of reaching a top speed of 317 km/h. More…
Scottish singer/songwriter Amy MacDonald recently went on Top Gear UK as a star in a reasonably priced car – a pick perhaps not as known as Tom Cruise or the like, but chosen by Jeremy Clarkson because she’s a solid petrolhead. Seems Amy’s a petrolhead of most genuine order – into cars of all sorts, [...] More…

So apparently Chris Brown purchased an R8 Spyder. The singer/songwriter is also known to have a few Lamborghinis, though it appears he’s picked up a black V10 Audi and has posted a few shots via his instagram account.

Iron Man’s girlfriend Pepper Potts may drive an Audi S5 (as seen in Iron Man), but Spider Man wins out in the category of girlfriend’s cool cars. You see, it’s not that the S5 is any slouch, but we’re hearing Audi’s new S6 is seeing sub-four second 0-60 mph sprints in the hands of magazine testers, and Spidey’s on-screen girlfriend played by actress Emma Stone has been sighted recently sporting one of Audi’s spanking new S-cars.

Actress Jessica Alba was recently caught by paparazzi in Santa Monica exiting her grey Audi Q7. As a mom of two, the car is probably a very good choice and Jessica’s not new to Audi, as we’ve spotted her before at events like the 2010 Audi Super Bowl party (see photo above). The shots were [...] More…
