Audi at the 2017 Frankfurt IAA in Pictures

It's certainly the biggest in Europe, and in as much it is always a safe bet as a major newsmaker for the Audi brand. Concept cars, new models, new tech and more are key to Audi's presence at Frankfurt year-over-year. Most pertinent launches to Audi's current business is likely that of the new D5 A8. Though this car sells in far fewer numbers than most of its stablemates, it remains the benc...

RS cars started in the form of wagons, and the super estate car remains first and foremost an Audi domain. Yes others do it, but there's something special in the air when Audi reveals a new one. Make that new one based on the smaller and lighter B9 A4 chassis and using the fire-breathing biturbo V6 of the RS 5 and it's hard to look away. That's obviously all fantastic, but there'...

80th Anniversary of Auto Union Victory in New York

There’s no doubt that the pre-war Silver Arrows are firmly entrenched as one of the biggest legends in the world of auto racing. Even still, it’s much less known that they ran but once in the USA during those contentious years leading up to World War 2. Nevertheless, it is most definitely the case that 80 years ago July 5th marks Auto Union’s sole race and victory with Bernd Rosemeyer taking the 1937 Vanderbilt Cup. For their day, racecars like the Auto Union Type C represented a mix o...
