My family is growing, and as much as I love this car, it'll be too small soon!


This is my 2008 Audi A3 2.0T, FWD, 6 speed manual, white w/black interior. The vehicle has been tastefully modified with H&R shocks and springs, giving it a moderate drop, but the ride is arguably as good or better than with the OEM setup. It has a brand new set of 17" Michelin Pilot Super Sports, and 5mm spacers at each corner, and handles incredibly. The steering is direct and responsive. It handles as good as my MINI Cooper did on H&R suspension, but rides MUCH smoother.

Mechanically, it needs nothing. Clutch is good, brakes are good, engine is smooth, no leaks under the vehicle. No weird noises or rattles. Runs perfectly.

According to the previous owner, the car has an APR software tune, which really picks up the engine's performance, without sacrificing fuel economy. It accelerates smoothly, with lots of low end torque, no torque steer, and no turbo lag. 

The front grill has been exchanges for the gloss/matte S-line grille - I also have matte grille and trunk ring emblems, but did not install them. They come with the vehicle. The rear hatch has been debadged except the rings. There is a small 1" mark on the right rear corner of the bumper, and the lower part of the front bumper is scraped a bit from low inclines. The panoramic dual moonroof really opens the car up - the glass opens smoothly, the screens work well. The car has bixenon OEM lighting, and yellow fog lights. Comes with two sets of OEM floor mats - heavy duty rubber and carpet.

There is an iPod integration installed - I have it set up as just an auxiliary input (no charging or changer controls), as use it with my iPhone 5. If you have an iPod or iPhone 4S, it also has full charging and controls that integrate into the radio. Change tracks using the steering wheel!

The car has 85k miles, has gotten Mobil 1 synthetic 0w40 religiously, and needs nothing. Astute bidders may notice a crack in the windshield - there will be a new windshield in the vehicle before auction end.

Audi Q7 plug-in hybrid spied, Porsche powertrain possible

Mon, 15 Sep 2014

It's no secret that a new Audi Q7 is on the way. The replacement for the aging, three-row luxury CUV has already been spotted once, in December of 2013. Now, though, we have images of the second-generation model lapping Germany's Nürburgring Nordschleife, and it just happens to be showing a feature we reported on at the end of July - a plug-in-hybrid powertrain.
Given away by its high-voltage stickers on the window and a spare door to hide the charger - note how both the driver and passenger sides sport an access point - our spies snapped a series of photos, and put forth the compelling idea that the new Q7 would use the PHV system from the Porsche Cayenne S E-Hybrid.
If that's the case, that should mean at least 320 horsepower from a 3.0-liter, supercharged V6, while an electric motor chips in a further 95 ponies for a total system output of 416 hp.

Audi R8 E-Tron back on production map thanks to new battery tech?

Sun, 15 Dec 2013

Contrary to our October 2012 report, it appears Audi's R8 E-Tron program is back on track, if a report from Australia is to be believed. Drive is reporting that the German brand has changed its mind and won't be sacking the program, despite previously stated concerns about the quality and price of batteries for the R8-based EV.
We last saw the R8 E-Tron prototype in the snows of northern Europe, although footage of the car has been non-existent since that wintry test. This new report claims that a small number of R8 E-Trons will see production, which gels with what we heard back in 2012 and supposed earlier this year. Apparently, some new sort of lithium-ion battery technology has allowed for a drastic increase in range, with rumors of the original 130 miles going up to around 250. According to Drive, this makes the project feasible again.
"Our engineers and technicians are further developing the car and its electric drive system. The range has grown significantly, allowing the potential for a small-scale production," an unnamed, but high-ranking Audi employee told the Aussies.

Audi reportedly shoots down $9.2 billion investor bid for Lamborghini

Wed, May 26 2021

Volkswagen is open to divesting some of the brands in its portfolio, but it hasn't put a "for sale" sign on in front of Lamborghini's lawn yet. The firm allegedly shot down a big offer for the brand from a group of investors. Quantum Group SA, a newly-established holding company based in Zurich, Switzerland, made the non-binding offer in May 2021, according to anonymous sources who spoke to WardsAuto. The publication adds the group is ready to spend 7.5 billion euros (around $9.2 billion at the current conversion rate) to buy the entire Lamborghini division from Audi. The sale would include the brand, its intellectual property (like its trademarks and patents), its historic factory in Sant'Agata Bolognese, and its racing division. Full details about the proposed acquisition were closely examined by top Volkswagen executives, including company CEO Herbert Diess and Audi boss Markus Duesmann. While the offer sounds like it's neatly packaged, Volkswagen replied that it's not having a garage sale. "Lamborghini is not for sale. This is not the subject of any discussion within the group," a company spokesperson told industry trade journal Automotive News. These comments are in line with the ones made in December 2020. Quantum's aim wasn't to sever all ties with Volkswagen. It planned to turn Lamborghini into "a spearhead for innovation by consistently implementing new clean drivetrain technologies" across the range, a strategy that's already in the pipeline; Lamborghini announced it will electrify in the 2020s and launch its first series-produced EV. Investors also hoped to sign a five-year supply agreement with Audi, and to create what they called an Advanced Automotive Innovation Center headquartered somewhere in Lower Saxony, the German state Wolfsburg is in. In late 2020, when rumors about an imminent Lamborghini spin-off were rampant, Volkswagen stressed it had no plans to sell the Italian supercar manufacturer or to find a new home for Ducati, which Lamborghini owns. Unverified reports claim a chunk of the company could be listed on the stock market in a bid to raise revenue, however. Bugatti is another part of the Volkswagen empire that Diess and his team allegedly wanted to trade in to fund the group's pivot towards electric powertrains. In September 2020, reports claimed top executives had approved swapping the storied French carmaker and its assets for a significant stake in Croatia-based Rimac that would be transferred directly to Porsche.
