Top Gear had done a review on the new GTI back in April 2009:

“Surely the first sentence of a test drive for the new Golf GTI can get written without making mention of the economy? Perhaps not. But then there is a very good reason for that. It’s time to make a suggestion. More than that, a bold assertion, that the Mark VI Golf GTI is the best car in the world you can possibly buy right now….” Read the full article!

With all of that, we will leave you with this Ken Block-esque VW Commercial from the mother land: (Dubbed: “First driving skills training, then GTI driving…”

The creators of Forza Motorsport 3 have worked closely with Audi engineers to model the R8 V10 to an intricate degree and featured Audi R8 5.2 FSI quattro on the cover as its “hero” car. Features such as gear ratios, tire deformation, and track telemetry are integrated throughout the entire game .The new game is also expected to feature realistic renderings of race courses that Audi has achieved in recent years, including home of the 12 Hours of Sebring and several others that will be revealed in the months leading up to the game’s Fall release.

Audi will officially announce pricing for the 2010 Audi R8 5.2 FSI quattro in the months ahead. The company said the car wouldl stand as the new model of the R8 series, which was developed jointly with quattro. Its ten-cylinder engine develops 525 hp.

Congratulations to VW Motorsport, just celebrating a big victory at the famous Ring in Germany:

The VW Scirocco GT24 won the ADAC 24h Race in his class! The car is equipped with an Audi S3 based 2L T-FSI engine, tuned to 325 hp! Best thing about that: All 3 Scirocco’s participating using an APR high pressure fuel pump and a set of APR´s High Flow injectors to reach this high output (Stock k04 setup, no other internal mods, stock DSG). All Parts delivered by APR´s German Distributor >> MFT.

Before the big show at the ring this weekend, the APR high pressure fuel pump was tested intensive by VWM with not a single issue on the engine Dyno reams of hours. There is no better way to prove the quality and endurance of APR’s products than to be proved by VWM and winning the 24h! The Scirocco (and drivers of course) had shown best performance, maximum output and a high overall ranking (11/17/30) behind the big Porsches. Congratulations!

First of all, a station wagon must be multifunctional and spacious for a family and their luggage. When it comes from ABT Sportsline, the leading tuner of cars by the Volkswagen group, then it is suitable for everyday use and sporty at the same time. In the case of the new ABT AS4 Avantalso the outer qualities are impressive as the body kit designed for the multifunctional vehicle by the versatile team based in the Allgäu has become extraordinarily fancy and dynamic. The front skirt defines the contours of the vehicle’s front and makes the face of the A4 appear brawnier. The transitions to the fender insets and the side skirts are very elegant and sporty. A view on the side proofs self-confidently that the ABT AS4 Avantis a real power station. The icing on the cake of this overall successful car is its rear section radiating dominance with a roof spoiler, rear skirt and, typical for ABT, a 4-pipe exhaust system. ABT recommends the BR wheel, which matches perfectly the design of the station wagon made in Kempten and, even when standing still, signals that the AS4 Avant offers pure driving pleasure.

But the ABT AS4 Avant does not only look sporty, it is in fact sporty. This is ensured by suspensions which are perfectly tuned to the vehicle byChristian Abt. Especially recommendable is the ABT adjustable sports suspension that can be adjusted to the individual manner of driving. But also ABT suspension springs improve the road holding of the Avant significantly. Equipped that way, the practical sports car is fit for an Allgäu power increase. Several versions are available for the different engines – and all with the ABT guarantee. Two examples: The TFSI with 1.8 liter cubic capacity featuring ABT POWER offers respectable 200hp (147kW) instead of the serial 160hp (118kW). With ABT POWER-S even 240hp (177kW) are provided. ABT POWER gives the 3.0 TDI engine dynamic 282hp (207kW) instead of formerly 240hp (177kW). ABT POWER Supgrades the huge Diesel to 310hp (228kW). The maximum torque then is 610Nm instead of the serial 500Nm. Thanks to ABT brakes, the sportyABT AS4 Avant always offers the driver the certainty that the car can be decelerated exactly and in every situation. Precision down to the last detail – this is what the name ABT guarantees, also for the new station wagon version of the A4.
