Peek into Audi Q8/SQ7 interior: Fewer buttons, more screens

Our spy photographers have had plenty of luck shooting the flagship Audi Q8 SUV in trials at the Nurburgring. In the latest encounter, the exterior reveals no more than in previous shots, as you'll see compared with the previous exterior gallery below. What's new this time: We get a look inside. Seen with the doors open, it appears the Q8 will get frameless windows. The photographer also managed to get a glimpse into a SQ7-based Q8 to view the new controls and displays. That is, fewer controls, more displays. The Q8 is set to share not just the platform but also the engines with the Q7 with one possible exception. There's a rumor that the possible RS Q8 could get a twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 delivering over 600 horsepower. - the same engine said to be destined for its Italian cousin, the Lamborghini Urus. The Audi Q8 is expected to go on sale in 2018. Related Video:

Audi previews sleek crossover concept ahead of Beijing debut

With the Beijing Motor Show approaching just a couple of weeks down the road, automakers have begun announcing the concept cars they have in store. Nissan has a new sedan concept coming, Lexus will reveal the production NX crossover and Citroën has a tempting sports sedan concept lined up for the Chinese auto expo. And now Audi has hinted at what it has in store.
Revealing only a trio of renderings with no details to accompany them so far, Audi appears to have a new crossover concept in the works. Referred to only as the Audi Showcar Beijing 2014, the brief calls for a five-door crossover with a rather coupe-like roofline, rugged lower body cladding and a flexible cabin with quad bucket seats.
The form bears telltale similarities to the new TT, suggesting that this concept could be a further evolution of the Allroad Shooting Brake concept that Audi revealed in Detroit. If put into production, we could see it wearing the Q4 badge, giving Ingolstadt a rival to the likes of the BMW X4, Porsche Macan and Range Rover Evoque. However, until Audi tells us otherwise, that's all speculation...

Audi partners with AT&T for 4G LTE, will offer Mobile Share data plan

Audi has made a big splash at this year's Consumer Electronics Show, joining the Open Automotive Alliance with Google, Honda, Hyundai, General Motors and NVIDIA, debuting a next-generation cockpit that's destined for the third-generation Audi TT and promising to offer laser headlights in a production car. But much like Apple during the Steve Jobs days, it has "just one more thing."
The German luxury brand has announced that it will, like Chevrolet, be teaming with AT&T to offer 4G LTE connectivity in its vehicles. The first model to benefit will be the 2015 Audi A3.
"With the introduction of the new A3 family Audi is putting the most advanced technology into the compact luxury segment," said Scott Keogh, President, Audi of America in a press release. "Offering drivers a 4G LTE connection will provide the fastest in-vehicle connection available and significantly enhance the infotainment experience."
