Join Audi Australia On A Four Hour Cruise

[gallery link="none" columns="1" size="full" ids="45415"] words: Bill, source: Audi Australia Depending on the restrictions in your locality, going out for a drive may not be deemed 'essential' but it's a fact (that I just made up) that going for a drive clears one's mind of stress and brings feelings of euphoria. Audi Australia feels the same way so they teamed up with We Are Social Australia to create 'The Drive', a four hour long video that allows homebound viewers to cruise through the Austr...

This RS2 Easter Egg Video from Audi USA is so RAD it Hurts.

Remember that Avantastic video Audi USA created to prep us all for the RS 6 Avant? It was great. We totally agree. BUT, did you know they also made another video that heralded the RS2? It's like what Stranger Things is to the 80s... but for the 90s... and monster Avants in the right side up... not monster D&D creeps in the upside down. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bvyU_DlU1r0

words: Bill, photos/video: Audi AG Note: Audi has released photos and technical details on the new SQ5 TDI...yes, TDI. If you aren't aware yet, the new S models from Audi are all powered by diesel engines and it's highly doubtful we in the States will ever see these on our shores. We will get a gasoline power plant in our S cars. While the engine will be different, our SQ5 should be identical to the EU model and it's a seriously good looking vehicle. Enjoy the photos and video. https://yout...
