Ok...let's get this out of the way. We know we do not get the TDI in the States/Canada and probably will not see a new one in the future but we may get the A6 Avant so this still applies (at least in terms of everything but the engine management)?

Audi plans to make a decision on whether it will introduce a new generation of the A6 Avant and the hotter RS 6 Avant for the U.S. market soon.
CarBuzz initially reported in January that its own source was told by Audi executives that the company had given both wagon models the green light for the U.S., and that they will arrive with the next RS 7 Sportback. However, Audi spokesman Mark Dahncke told Motor Authority on Monday that information is not correct. He s...

The beefy A4 will either be a 2020 or 2021 model.
We know Audi has a major facelift coming for the A4. We caught our first glimpse of the camouflaged sedan and wagon last month, and now spy photographers captured the elusive allroad model testing in the snowy white north. At a quick glance this could almost be mistaken for the A4 Avant we saw previously – the camouflage pattern matches, as well as the wheels and even the location for the photos. There are some ke...

Audi's A4 just received some minor tweaks for 2019 but a more substantial update is on the way for the car's mid-cycle refresh, as evidenced by the recent sighting of prototypes.
Now a new prototype has been spotted, and this one is for the sporty S4 in Avant wagon guise...

Yeah yeah...I know we don't get the magnificent RS 4 here in the States (but rumors of the RS 6 coming soon abound) and we certainly don't get the monstrous ABT RS4+ but we can enjoy some great photos of the RS4+ in the snow, can't we? Anyway, onto the press release:
We can all remember what it was like when we were kids: you got a brand new bicycle for Christmas, but because the weather was so awful, you have not been able to ride it even once. Luckily, that c...

I know I've mentioned this ad nauseam but you can import RS2s into the States now that it's 2019. Hurray but only if you have the money to find one that isn't beat. However, there is a consolation prize and in itself, not a bad prize at all.
The RS2's little brother is the S2. Unlike the Avant only RS2, the S2 came in an Avant, coupe, and the very rare sedan version. I've picked the Avant because who doesn't love Avants? Powered by a 230hp 2.2L turbo 5, it'...

It's 2019 and we can finally import the early Audi RS2s into the States! While scouring the European sites for an early RS2, I ran across this video from CarWow.
They've taken two iconic cars from BMW and Audi and drag them. What are your predictions on which car wins? And which one of these cars would you want to have?
Enjoy!

Audi just showed a refreshed A4 back in June, but the company apparently still feels the design won't be up-to-date when sharing showroom space with the new A8, A7 and A6. We know this because one of our spy photographers caught the above A4 Avant example testing with yet another new front fascia. This update is more dramatic, but it's still just a mild refresh overall....

Yesterday, a 1993 Ur-S4 with just under 12,000 miles sold on Bring A Trailer for $33,000. Thirty...three...thousand...dollars.
With this in mind, I decided to search the sites for a similar S4 to see how much people were asking for them but then I ran across this.
This is a 1994 C4 S4 Avant. While it's not a low mileage example (205,631 kms/127,773 miles), it is slightly more affordable at €6,000 ($7,742) and in my opinion, a more desirable ...

The last time we featured a FOTD RS 2, it was a 1995 Polar Silver example with only 38,000 miles and was listed for €69,911.00 ($89,597.36 USD). This one can be had for quite a bit less and it's a 1994 model which means you only have to wait a couple of months to legally import it to the States.
Located in Amsterdam at De Automobielfabriek, this RS 2 has 126,395 km (78,538 miles) and can be had for significantly less that the Polar Silver...

Driving fun in the business class doesn’t just start with an Audi S4 or an RS4: ABT Sportsline demonstrates how to get more out of a normal Audi A4 regarding sporty appearance and driving fun. Regardless of whether a gasoline or diesel engine is under the hood or if it is a notchback sedan or an Avant station wagon. One feature of the car on the picture catches the eye especially: the impressive 20 inch alloy wheel ABT ER-C. The distinctive lines of the boldly curved and delicate spokes ...

It's been awhile since we posted a video so when this one popped up, resistance was futile. So let me start by saying...yes, I know we don't get any iteration of the RS 6 here in the States. Yes, I know this is Audi Club North America so why am I posting cars that we can't get...yet.
Carfection recently got their hands on an Audi RS 6 Performance and a Mercedes-AMG E63 S. They didn't do a 'normal' comparison that involved drag races no...

With 530 HP (390 kW) and an impressive 690 Nm torque, the ABT RS4-R leaves almost everyone in its wake. And now this limited edition of 50 vehicles has also escaped the grasp of any further potential buyers, as CEO Hans-Jürgen Abt confirms: “The feedback on the car was simply amazing. Thus, the maximum number of production units was reached very quickly. I am very glad that our car struck the right note with our customers.” The potent stationwagon, whic...

The Audi S4 is the benchmark among medium-sized premium cars and will be on top of any situation with upgrades from ABT. With some new aerodynamic add-ons like a front skirt add-on, front grille frame and fender inserts, either made out of ABS plastic or carbon fiber, S4 owners (and A4 drivers too!) are ready for some show and shine.
The ABT rear skirt insert draws even more attention thanks to the increased sound performance of the ABT exhaust system. T...

Ok...our heads are exploding in the office. So today alone, we saw spy photos of the S6 then the RS Q8, and now the RS 6 Avant?
Once again the fine people over at Motor1.com have electrified our dreams with photos of RS models testing in the Alps and this time it's the RS 6 Avant...well, an RS 6 Avant mule. Badged here as an A6, the dual oval exhaust gives it away along with an aggressive, though covered, front fascia. Speaking of electrified, rumors abound that...

Everything began in 1994 with the RS2, which is not included here. Porsche gave the compact Audi 80 Avant 315 turbo-horsepower (232 kW), driving any trace of conservativeness from the car. The idea of a sportscar in the body of a station wagon was born. “Today, I see one of the greatest advantages of this model in the fact that it looks like a normal family car but offers the driving performance of a pure sportscar,” rally driver Walter Röhrl said back in the day. 2,8...
Heads up to Audi RS 6 Avant fans, as it appears the dark red metallic wagon you see here appears to be available in the United States. Yes, it's just a toy, but this 1:64 scale Avant will have to hold you over... at least for now.

The new Audi A6 Avant combines dynamic design with superb everyday utility and excellent adaptability. The rear has a striking design, yet offers a flexible luggage compartment concept with 565 to 1,680 liters (20.0 – 59.3 cu ft) of capacity. The drive and suspension are designed with comfort and sportiness in mind. The standard mild hybrid system boosts efficiency while the dynamic all-wheel steering enhances maneuverability and agility. With its intuitive opera...

After a title like that, do I even to explain why this is a Find of the Day? I mean who wouldn't want a manual transmission swapped S6 Avant? But wait, there's more. This is not a wolf in sheep's clothing; this is a freaking wild boar in pig's clothing.
The 'normal' S6 Avant came with the venerable 4.2L V8. This beast has the 2.7T V6 with two big Tial 605 v1 turbos installed.
