While some are awaiting the arrival of the new 2020 A7 and S7, news from Ingolstadt is that these models are presently available and on sale Germany as TDI’s. Yes the S6, S6 Avant and S7 are TDI’s in Germany but will be V6 turbos in the US using the same engines as in the RS 5 for us. Here is a link to that news flash should you like to confirm it, https://www.motor1.com/news/344133/2020-audi-s6-s7-revealed/. It was not that many years ago the SQ5 was diesel powered in Germany but gas here. Frankly, I was quite surprised and went to the Audi.de site to build an S7 and yes, there it was with a diesel engine.  Perhaps their CAFÉ standards are a bit more draconic than ours or the diesels are not the self-inflicted dirty word that they have become here. There will be V8 RS versions down the road as seen in the above picture of a test mule.

The new 2020 A4 is also on its way. Here is a link to an Audi press release.

Audi A4 News Release

Note that the S4 will also be a TDI with an expected fuel consumption of up to 37.9 MPG expected. The US market will get a gas version of about the same hose power and performance but considerably less MPG. One can only wonder how many S4 Avant diesels they would have sold last April. Perhaps sales would not have been down 21% to 2018.

UroTuning Report

Summer is on its way and perhaps it is not a bad time to check your cooling system.  UroTuning not only provides the goods to help your Audi to go faster but also to keep it going.  In the end we are basically driving in summer close to ten months of the year so keeping your hoses and coolant in A1 condition are important but also your oil is an important part of your engine’s cooling functions.  I know the period between oil changes is now measured in literally thousands of miles and often in years and some may take issue with this but changing ones oil more frequently than the “book” along with a high grade filter is more than an ounce of prevention. UroTuning can be of some help here with high quality oils plus you will receive your ACFL newsletter discount. Just mention 1906when ordering. Considering the tolerances and temperatures of the new Audi engines along with the turbo chargers, clean lubricants are an integral part in insuring their continued operation.

I understand that the a few of the UroTuning team have been on the road in May supporting the Alpine VAG Fair show in Helen Georgia and then the European Experience Show in Savannah as Title sponsors. All part of UroTuning’s commitment to the enthusiast and supporting events that allow those dedicated car enthusiasts an opportunity to get together and share their common interest.  Now it’s time to start really digging in and planning for FixxFest which will be here before we know it! As we look forward to FixxFest in November, it is also not too soon to pick up some of those special carbon fiber items to not only enhance and personalize the look of your Audi for the Audi Corral “Show and Shine” competition and possibly bring home some honors but also tuner parts to improve its performance with some go faster item for a few runs down the strip. Remember the June 1906 code when you stop to order and to obtain the additional up to an extra 5% discount on certain items. So check out our Prestige Partner, UroTuning at https://www.urotuning.com/ , register your Audi and start having fun browsing even if you are not behind the wheel of your Audi. Justin and his team at UroTuning are looking forward to exceeding your expectations in Product, Price, Knowledge and Service.

Audi Clearwater Report

The sale on RS models continues and should you seriously be in the market for a 2019 Audi RS 5 Sportback or TT RS, ones that are fully loaded or even just thinking about it, you may be more than just pleasantly surprised, as JB, Sales Manager of Audi Clearwater has only three RS 5s  and one TT RS left in stock. One RS 5 is green and as of this writing the second, is a sister ship to the one pictured below.  I would suggest that you give him a shout as he is dealing. Generally RS models seldom are considered for markdowns but call him directly on his personal cell at 407-470-3718 for all of the details. There is clearly a reason Audi Clearwater was the leading Audi Dealership in District 81 for sales in the month of April. It is not just due to the fact that folks are returning because of their excellence in customer service but new customers are finding out that JB is providing exceptional pricing on new Audis and as he mentioned when I visited with him the other day, he plans to keep Audi Clearwater second to none.

In addition, for in stock vehicles, there is up to $6,000 off of MSRP on 2019 Q5’s  and up to $8,000 off of MSRP on 2019 Q7’s excluding Prestige models and $5,000 lease cash on most all Audi models.

Once again, the above are quite frankly some exceptional deals from our Prestige Partner, Audi Clearwater and especially for recipients of the ACFL newsletter. To ensure you receive these specific savings when you purchase your next new Audi, make sure to contact JB directly at 407-470-3718 and he will get you squared away. In addition, if there is a special Audi your local dealership does not seem able to locate, contact JB, he will find it and get it delivered to you at an exceptional price.

If you would like to have a little fun building another Audi that you cannot obtain in the US, here is a link to their “Citycruiser” the very cute A1. Audi A1  It is in German but fairly simple and intuitive to figure out how to build.
