Audi Quattro Coupe Sports Cars

The Audi Quattro is a road and rally car, produced by the German automobile manufacturer Audi, part of the Volkswagen Group. It was first shown at the 1980 Geneva Motor Show on 3 March.
The word quattro is derived from the Italian word for "four". The name has also been used by Audi to refer to the quattro four-wheel drive system, or any four-wheel drive version of an Audi model. To avoid confusion, the original Quattro model is also commonly referred to as the Ur-Quattro - the "Ur-" (German for "primordial" or "ancestral") is an augmentative prefix, in this case meaning "original", and is also applied to the first generation Audi S4 and Audi S6 models, as in "Ur-S4" and "Ur-S6".

The Audi Quattro was the first rally car to take advantage of the then-recently changed rules which allowed the use of four-wheel drive in competition racing. It won competition after competition for the next two years.[1] To commemorate the success of the original vehicle, all subsequent Audis with their trademark quattro four wheel drive system were badged "quattro" with a lower case "q". The original car with the upper case "Q" in the Quattro name is a collector's piece.

Used Audi Cars 2007

Used Audi cars are the perfect choice for people who love the German car technology and long fast drives for slightly lower prices. They match the prestige and performance of a BMW or a Mercedes-Benz but they are not as pricey. They are the luxury sedan choice for people who want to look good in their car without emptying their pockets.

Imagine that black luxury sedan with the 5 metal ring badge on the front hood of the car. Doesn’t that make you feel good already? People brush the idea off just because of the stigma that Audi cars are only for the elite few.

Audi R10 Top Racer

The Audi R10 TDI, usually abbreviated to R10, is a racing car from the German car manufacturer Audi. The car is a classic at Le Mans, winning every year since its introduction to the introduction of the new R15. It is designed and constructed for sports car racing in the Le Mans Prototype LMP1 class of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, and other similar endurance races. The car was unveiled 13 December 2005 at 12:00 CET,[2] and went on to win both its maiden race at the 2006 12 Hours of Sebring in March, and the June 2006 24 Hours of Le Mans.

It was the first diesel powered car to win either of those events. This is the most ambitious and the most expensive project ever undertaken by Audi Sport; the Audi R10 TDI project costs Audi $15 million a year.

Audi A9 New Cars

Audi took the automotive world by storm at the 1991 Tokyo Motor Show with the original supercar concept - the Audi Avus quattro. The W12 mid-engine concept was the very first aluminum space frame (ASF) Audi and theoretically possessed an incredible 0-60 mph capability of less than three seconds.

Twelve years later at the 2003 IAA in Frankfurt Audi again took center stage with a supercar concept, this time the Le Mans quattro. Hot off an unparalleled motorsport run with its R8 racecars, including winning the Le Mans endurance race in three consecutive years (2000, 2001 and 2002), the Le Mans quattro concept was billed by Audi as the "synthesis of the experience gained from numerous racing triumphs" and was built in a mere 11 months.
