Spy Photo: 2022 Audi S8 Facelift

[gallery link="none" columns="1" size="full" ids="57283"] Yesterday, we showed spy photos of both the facelifted 2022 Audi A8 and A8 hybrid. Today, we bring you their brawnier sibling, the 2022 Audi S8 and this time in the cold winter of northern Sweden. Just like on the first sighting, we can see the new headlights reminiscent of the A3 headlights. The new grille is also visible, a new shape and new inserts is the deal there.

Spy Photo: 2022 Audi A8 Facelift

[gallery link="none" columns="1" size="full" ids="57202"] It's the New Year and that means it's time for some new spy shots again. We start off with the first photos of the upcoming Audi A8 facelift. And we spied not one but two prototypes out testing and even if they look pretty much the same, there are some small differences. The facelifted Audi A8 will get some new head lights in “A3” style as we can see and also a new designed grille. The grille just doesn't have new inserts but also has...

[gallery link="none" columns="1" size="full" ids="57169"] words: Bill, video: Carfection New versus old, youth versus elder...what's better? Vicki Butler-Henderson and Henry Catchpole from Carfection try to answer this question by pitting a MKI R8 V8 against a MKII R8 V10 performance. They both agree that the original is still a great looking vehicle and drives well but what of the next generation? Which one would either want to go home with?

Spied: Audi RS 3 Sedan Winter Testing

[gallery link="none" columns="1" size="full" ids="57157"] With the regular Audi A3 sedan out and official, there is no need for Audi to hide the upcoming RS 3 in full camo anymore except for the RS parts. Just like the RS 3 Sportback, we can see that this prototype also has the wide production fenders behind that camouflage. We also notice that there is an air outlet hidden under camouflage at the area behind the front wheel. Wider fenders need wider side sills and they are also present on this ...

Find of the Day: 1985 Audi 4000S quattro

[gallery link="none" columns="1" size="full" ids="56879"] words: Bill, photos: Alex Kremer Growing up, I never did look at an Audi 4000 with starry eyes or even any eyes. It wasn't until much (much) later that I began to appreciate them. Maybe because up until that point, I had not driven one and was pretty ignorant about other Audi models outside of the Sport quattro or the 90 Coupe quattro my friend had in college. Joining Audi/Volkswagen forums in the late 90s/early 2000s, people were talking...

Find of the Day: 1991 Audi 200 Avant quattro Turbo

[gallery link="none" columns="1" size="full" ids="56817"] words: Bill, photos: The Classic Car Gallery People will look back at 2020 as the Year of the Pandemic but it could also be called the Year of the Avant. The mighty RS 6 Avant finally landed on NA shores and the A6 allroad made a comeback. So you can say long roof fans are all anog over Avants. That brings us to today's Find of the Day. This 200 Avant may look familiar to some as it was a Bring A Trailer car back in March of this year and...

If you would like to subscribe to quattro Magazine, please join Audi Club here. The notion of Clark Kent was always a little perplexing.

Find of the Day: 1964 Auto Union DKW F89 Pickup

[gallery link="none" columns="1" size="full" ids="56686"] words: Bill, photos: Manuel Yetano Well this is new...or rather old. We've featured an Auto Union DKW F89L van before as a Find of the Day but I've never seen a pickup version such as this restored model. This one is in Argentina where apparently its lived its whole life...but you can bring this one home as it's well past the 25-year import law in the States (& 15 year in Canada).

Find of the Day: 1983 Audi Quattro

[gallery link="none" columns="1" size="full" ids="56512"] words: Bill, photos: Craigslist The Pacific Northwest...I've said this many many times but that region of the country seems to hold all the rust-free specimens from the Audi of yore. We've featured several Find of the Days from there and most are in great condition. Take this one. It's getting harder (and more expensive) to find an Audi Quattro and in my opinion, this one isn't priced out of range. Here's the ad: It has a clean title. 155...

Long Wheelbase Audi A7 L Spied in Germany

[gallery link="none" columns="1" size="full" ids="56439"] If you’re familiar with Chinese customer trends in the car market, you know they have a soft spot for rear legroom. Plenty of cars are sold in the People’s Republic with an extended wheelbase, including models such as the A4L and A6L sedans. The flagship A8 is sold locally exclusively in the stretched form, and there are even Q2L and Q5L models serving as roomier derivatives of the two SUVs. And now its time for yet another model...

Santa’s Got A Brand New Sleigh

[gallery link="none" columns="1" size="full" ids="56270"] words: Bill, photo: Audi AG A couple of years ago, Santa decided to get into shape and for this, he was rewarded with the then-new RS 5 Sportback. Flash forward to today, and it looks like Santa has a new sleigh: the electric Audi e-tron GT concept (which has just entered production). This is the latest in a string of Audi holiday commercials and I'm not going to lie...I'm jealous of Santa's sleigh. Enjoy the video below and everyon...
