Audi RS Q3 Spied Testing

Let's just say it's been a busy month for the development engineers at Audi Sport GmbH. Audi's skunkworks division was spied just days ago testing the RS 6 Avant, and now they've been nabbed testing what appears to be the next RS Q3. Two mules were tested in warm weather testing, one appearing to be painted Nardo Grey and the other in what is most likely the new Turbo Blue paint that's been coming from Audi on some of the latest model. Though drivetrain details of the upcoming RS Q3 ar...

More Next-Gen RS 6 Avant Photos from Nürburgring

With the weather turning to spring in Europe, the auto manufacturer development schedule turns to the Nürburgring Nordschleife. Spy photographers first caught the new RS 6 in the area around the fabled German road course yesterday. Today, they've caught the car again, this time out on track. There's nothing new to report in the last 24-hours, so this is simply our drawing your attention to more photos of  the same or a very similar car as was seen yesterday. Even still, we figured you'd not ...

Oh. Hello There Next-Generation Audi RS 6 Avant!

Spies in Europe have finally caught the next-generation Audi RS 6 Avant out testing. While the RS 7 has been seen already, the RS 6 has been well-hidden... at least up until now. Whenever the RS 6 Avant has been spied before, it has worn heavy cladding and not given much of a view of what we can expect. This particular car has mainly just funkadelic vinyl on it, and even the wheels look like they may very well be an upcoming production design. Beyond those wheels are the large brakes tha...

Updated “B9.5” Audi A5 Cabriolet Spied Testing

The latest Audi test mule to be spied out and about in winter testing is the A5 Cabriolet. This blacked out Cabriolet wears cladding around the expected change points, though still reveals some key details about the soon-to-come update for Audi's B-segment coupé, Cabriolet and Sportback. For starters, those likely LED Matrix beam headlights appear to be different, using more black in their housings. The grille and secondary fascia grilles show the hexagonal patterning we've seen in recently up...

Audi A6 allroad Spied Testing. Will It Come to USA?

Many were surprised last week in Geneva when the A6 allroad didn't make a showing. Audi instead chose to show an all-electric lineup on its Geneva show stand, leaving the A6 allroad to bow another day. Could that day be New York? Recent tweets from Audi USA have us wondering. What you see here are some of the latest spy photos of an A6 allroad test mule. This particular car was caught cold weather testing in Sweden. While it wears cladding, you can clearly see the allroad cues on this obvious...

B9.5 Audi RS 4 Avant Spied Cold Weather Testing

Audi is prepping a "B9.5" mid-lifecycle refreshening for its B-segment range of cars including A4, A5 and Q5 families. In as much, spy photographers have been catching mules of these cars cold weather testing this winter. While not offered in the USA, we have no doubt that the sighting of a B9.5 RS 4 Avant is enough to get serious attention from any red-blooded Audi aficionado. Given this is a mid-lifecycle freshening, don't expect significant drivetrain differences. Instead, consider the...

Autoblog: 2020 Audi Q7 Spy Photos Reveal A Facelift Is Coming

source: Autoblog Light changes should help the big crossover fit in with newer models It looks like the 2020 Audi Q7 will feature refreshed styling when it arrives on the scene some time next year. Having introduced completely new versions of the A8, A7 and A6, not to mention a new model in the Q8, it comes as no surprise that Audi will be applying the various new styling cues to existing models. We've seen this happen with the A4 and given these spy photos, it seems the Q7 three-row c...

Autoblog is reporting a refreshed look for the R8. The large oval exhaust suggest that it may be a GT variant. Could this R8 GT be the swan song for the R8? Check out the story and many more photos here
