EUROPEAN CAR FEB 2009 COVER CAR As I speed through the canyons my trusty sidekick, a highly advanced artificial intelligence computer built into the car, warns me that I'm pushing too hard, the speeds are too high. If this was a normal car, like something with a front-mounted V8, he might be right. I am, however, in a mid-engine, all-wheel-drive supercar modified by OEMplus. It may sound ridiculous, but all this goes through my head in the first 30 seconds of setting eyes on this R8. The car is all black, as black as Spinal Tap's vinyl album cover. In fact, there are none more black than this. The modifications are subtle and cunningly chosen to maximize effect. Most will mistake this car for being completely stock. Its special nature will go largely unnoticed. That's the point of a superhero. 2008 Audi R8 Rear Start with the wheels. Built by Dymag, they may be one of the best performance modifications a car owner can currently purchase. They aren't cheap, but weighing in at 16 pounds front and a mere 19 pounds rear, they remove not only unsprung weight but rotational mass as well. The rolling works of art are of two-piece construction. The outer barrel is built from carbon fiber. This isn't a chopped fiber reinforced plastic either. The barrels are pressure molded using continuous woven fibers for a true aerospace-quality piece. The wheel inners are cast magnesium. Long the first choice of racers, Dymag has taken this technology to the streets to make what is possibly the highest strength-to-weight ratio wheel in existence. Without putting this particular car on a dyno we can guess that the wheels alone are worth 10-15 hp at the wheels. Adding even more power to the wheels is a custom exhaust system that can best be described as earthshaking. The Super Charged 4.2-liter V8 breathes unhindered by mufflers or any sort of sound absorption. Straight pipes from the cats to the tips. The exhaust gives the car a crackly wail, sounding something like chucking glass blocks into a tree shredder. It's loud; the sound echoing off the canyon walls makes me nervous as it seems it may bring down boulders like a 5.0 quake. On downshifts, the throttle blips sound like a big jet engine right at the point it hits the afterburners. On deceleration it burbles like an angry European soccer riot working its way into the town square. The sound is intoxicating from behind the wheel during hard driving. On city streets it frightens pedestrians and angers authorities. On the freeway, the exhaust is ever present and entertaining, for five minutes at the most. At 120 mph, the R8 actually quiets a bit and at 140 mph is almost civil. Apparently this is exactly the system the owner wanted for the car. If it were us, we would opt for something with a butterfly valve. A car this stealthy deserves to sneak around sometimes.

CARB found another emissions-defeating device, this time from Audi

Mon, Nov 7 2016

The California Air Resources Board has discovered another emissions-cheating device on an Audi earlier this summer, reports German newspaper Bild am Sonntag. The device is different from the software found in the VW Group's diesel-powered engines, as it alters the way the cars' automatic transmission shifts. The latest device, according to Bild am Sonntag, measures how far the cars' steering wheel is being turned. If the wheel is turned less than 15 degrees, indicating that the vehicle is being tested in laboratory conditions, a program in cars with certain automatic transmissions changes the way the gearbox shifts. The change in the transmission allows the engine to produce less carbon dioxide than when driving in normal conditions. When the wheel is turned more than 15 degrees, the program automatically turns off, claims Bild am Sonntag. The paper reports that Audi took the software out of its vehicles, which was used in both diesel- and gasoline-powered vehicles in Europe and the US, earlier this May after CARB discovered the program on one of the automaker's older cars. Several engineers that were connected with the emissions-cheating device have already been suspended, reports Bild am Sonntag. As the German newspaper points out, the device, which is fitted to certain Audis with an automatic transmission, is different from the cheat devices found on the automaker's 3.0-liter TDI turbodiesel V6 engine and Volkswagen's 2.0-liter turbodiesel motor, even those were also designed to beat emissions tests. The 3.0-liter engine is found in the Audi Q7, Volkswagen Touareg, and Porsche Cayenne models. Audi didn't immediately respond to our request for a comment.

Audi outlasts rivals to win 13th Le Mans title

Sun, 15 Jun 2014

As is so often the case, the 2014 Le Mans was a war of attrition, and Audi managed to prevail once again after all 24 hours had been recorded in the history books, with its Audi R18 E-Tron Quattro claiming first and second places, followed by Toyota in third. Drivers Marcel Fassler, Andre Lotterer and Benoit Treluyer inherited the lead in their No. 2 Audi after the No. 7 Toyota, driven by pole-sitter Kazuki Nakajima, was forced to retire with electrical problems in the 15th hour.
The No. 2 Audi led the race until it was forced to the pits to replace a turbocharger in the 17th hour, allowing the No. 1 Audi, driven by Lucas di Grassi, Marc Gene (who was a last-minute replacement for Loic Duval, who crashed hard during practice) and defending champion Tom Kristensen, led the race until the 21st hour, when it too had to pit with turbocharger issues. This gave the No. 20 Porsche of Timo Bernhard, Brendon Hartley, and Mark Webber the lead until it was forced off the track with gearbox problems, eventually finishing in 38th position.
In LMP2, the Jota Sport Zytek Z11SN-Nissan driven by Simon Dolan, Harry Tincknell and Oliver Turvey claimed victory, the first five LMP2 finishers all powered by Nissan. Down a level in GTE-Pro, No. 51 AF Corse Ferrari 458 Italia GT2 driven by Gianmaria Bruni, Toni Vilander and Giancarlo Fisichella finished one lap ahead of the leading Corvette Racing C7.R. And finally, the No. 95 Aston Martin Racing Vantage GTE driven by Kristian Poulsen, David HeinemeierHansson and Nicki Thiim won the GTE-Am race two laps ahead of a Proton Porsche 911 GT3 RSR.

How Audi will make roads friendlier to autonomous cars

Tue, Oct 18 2016

Today, Audi announced some of the new projects it will be implementing on Germany's Digital Motorway Test Bed, which comprises a few sections of highway on which the government and industry can test autonomous and connected tech. Among Audi's projects is one specifically aimed at making roads easier for autonomous cars to navigate. Audi is looking to make the road and other objects more visible. The company has been researching materials that could make guardrails and road markers reflect radar waves more readily, and Audi will install test versions soon. The goal here is to help make these objects easier for the autonomous vehicle's sensors to see in inclement weather, and at greater distances in good weather. The company will also test additional road markings that will be easier to see for onboard cameras and will help the car place itself on the road. Audi will also try out new vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) technology that will be able to alert cars to speed limits, traffic conditions, ice patches and possibly allow for driving patterns such as platooning. This will be a significant step above the traffic light communication system Audi has released in select areas. The company will also be working on very detailed mapping of the area. Audi claims it will be accurate down to the centimeter. From what we've seen at MCity, the world as it stands presents all kinds of difficulties for autonomous vehicles, from worn-out signs to rough pavement. So any advances that make it easier for autonomous cars to see and communicate should help bring such vehicles to reality much sooner.
