2014 Audi R8 V10 Plus Quattro S Troni
Stasis Supercharged Super Car
The Audi R8 has always been the starter Supercar, with just its toe in the water till ` LP560-4 lump with and
additional 25 HP over the standard 5.2 V10 for a total of 550hp / 398 lb-ft of torque. Then not for the faint of
heart, the engineers from Stasis bolted on a Supercharger that brings the car to 730hp at the crank. This brings
the engine performance to within a couple HP of the Ferrari F12. Stasis claims 0-60 times in sub 3 seconds. This
Audi R8 has come form a local collector with a large collection of the worlds most desirable supercars, and always
been cared for as such. All the work to this car has been done at the Audi dealer in conjunction with the Stasis
team of engineers that flew out to perform the modifications. For added sound a full GMG sport exhaust system was
installed. The R8 Plus comes from the factory with firmer springs and dampeners inspired by the R8 GT edition.
The biggest change to the model from its predecessors is the edition of the 7-speed dual clutch automatic, called
the S Tronic. This Formula One style transmission put the power to the ground with lightning fast gearshifts up
and beautifully sounding perfectly matched downshifts. This alone is a $7800 option on standard R8’s. This car
has a special order paint package for $2500 of solid non-metallic paint. The total for Supercharger installation
at the Audi dealer was $46182 plus another $8000 for the GMG exhaust system. The Plus version comes standard
with the Carbon-ceramic brakes, full carbon fiber interior. This car is in the super car stratosphere with its
performance and style, no question about it.

2013 Audi Allroad
Wed, 15 May 2013Reincarnated With A Smaller And Less Passionate Soul
Mention the name "Allroad" to most automotive enthusiasts, and it's likely to conjure up images of the Audi A6 Allroad Quattro, first introduced in 1999. That car-like alternative to a sport utility vehicle was based on the German automaker's A6 Avant wagon. But unlike its luxurious road-going sibling, the Allroad was an on- and off-road variant fitted with an advanced height-adjustable air suspension for additional ground clearance, rugged tires on oversized wheels to improve off-pavement grip and unpainted flared fenders and bumpers to protect it from rugged use. That original A6 Allroad arrived with Audi's powerful twin-turbo 2.7-liter V6, more to offset its increased weight than to boost performance, and was eventually offered with a 4.2-liter V8 before it was discontinued in 2005.
Fast forward eight years, and Audi has introduced its replacement - now based on the smaller A4 Avant wagon.
40+ cars that barely avoid the gas guzzler tax
Thu, 24 Jul 2014
The Gas Guzzler schedule, with mpg ratings and charges that haven't changed since 1991, lays out which fuel-swillers owe what to Uncle Sam.
I started thinking about the "Gas Guzzler Tax" - considerably less well known as The Energy Tax Act of 1978 - when I was driving Dodge's new Challenger SRT Hellcat last week. Unsurprisingly for a car that can burn 1.5 gallons of gas per minute at max tilt, theoretically able to empty a full tank of premium in about 13 minutes, the Hellcat will be subject to the Gas Guzzler Tax schedule when it goes on sale.
Subaru WRX STI vs. Audi S3 in compact AWD dustup
Wed, 23 Jul 2014It's not every day that a Subaru and an Audi can be reasonably compared head-to-head; the two brands tend not to compete directly in their respective segments. However, the latest WRX STI and the S3 Sedan offer the perfect chance to find out if the working-class Scooby can beat its upper-crust competitor.
The UK's Auto Express gets behind the wheel of these two all-wheel drive performance sedans, or saloons as the Brits call them. Across the pond, both of them are rated at an identical 296 horsepower, but the Subaru edges out the Four Rings on torque. Like in the US, British buyers have to pay a little more to get the Audi, but it comes with a nicer interior and more brand cachet, if that means anything to you.
The video starts out with a fairly standard road test comparing the two of them back-to-back - all fairly subjective. But then Auto Express takes the trip to the drag strip, and the results there are much more conclusive. There's a definite winner when they cross the line, but you have to scroll down to see which of these turbocharged models with rallying heritage wins out.
