In recent months, the paparazzi who gather outside the Nürburgring have caught a huge amount of advances of European brands, the latest and newest Audi RS4 Avant is leading to some pre-production testing.

Different manufacturers are working hard and setback in the production of all these developments we will see over 2011. In this sense, Audi presents a kind of sporty hatchback V6 with a power around 450 to 500 horsepower.

Although no further details have been advanced on this model, the evidence collected so far indicate that a car is rolling on 21-inch wheels (the same that wore the RS5 ) Audi S4 front aggressive type, large brakes with RS impressions on its surface.

What is not certain is what engine lurks under the hood. According to some German sources, could house a 4.2- FSI V8 engine of 444 horsepower, others say it is a twin-turbo V6 ‘s 54, but improved for the occasion.

I personally think it is the same engine shared with the Audi A4 A5, two very similar to the prototype vehicles that we see in the photographs, two sharing the same platform, so you probably emplaced with a naturally aspirated V8.

As a curiosity, the latest version of the RS4 is only offered in Avant body in order to play down competition between models of the same brand.

Audi at the cutting edge, innovating with new concepts and setting precedents for future generations, we file your next sedan, the Audi A3 but is still in conceptual stage gets forward the arrival of an era.

For now, the Audi A3 is considered one of the fastest luxury sports market, vehicle turn serves as a model of automotive technology, and design of the saloon doors 3 and 5 come under the banner of the 3 circles.

Undoubtedly, the main objective of the Germanic brand is to launch a vehicle that is below the A4, but managed to inject the necessary strength in sales outside the borders of Europe, such as in Asia and the market U.S. destinations to move faster midsize sedans.

The new model is based on several concepts that led to the range A, but unlike those already known, the third generation is much lighter, wider and better bounds also offers incredible performance.

The conceptual issue was presented at the Geneva Motor Show this year, developers at that time equated with a kit that improved performance. For this we adapted a 2.5 Turbo FSI engine 5 cylinder, enough to deliver 408 horsepower and 500 Nm of torque.

For exterior body and several pieces, used a fairly lightweight alloy that makes the car weigh less (scarce 1540 kg), a quality which gives it greater speed time to accelerate from 0 to 100 km / h – in just 4.1 seconds.

The new Audi A6 range of haste has been growing, following the arrival of the traditional sedan Teutonic house, it was time for Avant, and is now the turn of the new prototype called S6.

Although not confirmed by mass production, much less has been announced as coming to market, we have the opportunity to see a brief preview of what lies ahead this line thanks to photographs recently crept into the net.

The new Audi S6 images were taken during its passage through a German port where you embark to perform certain tests prior to its official production, which sources said could be in Gothenburg – Sweden, where the Germans have their own site floor.

What a luck that had these photographers, I happen to think that it was not causation, surely knew the site and were waiting for news. Suddenly I was struck by a five-door car, extremely long, with an extremely sporty front and characterized by the 3 rings of Audi… easy to assume that it was one of the prototypes of the Teutons, there are other qualities that characterize him as its quad exhaust, side skirts and stops.

Power under the hood that has characterized its predecessors will be modified slightly. This time block will come from a turbocharged 4.0-liter V8, unfortunately we speak of a gasoline engine.

In the first seconds of promotional video that announces the main component of the new Audi A6, we see what appears to be a sponge completely malleable to the taste and hand, an aluminum color to the words that follow “Suppose you can get the metal do anything you want… ”

It just captured my attention and made my imagination with those words, more when I finished to see the 45 seconds of video that promotes the striking aluminum structure of the car.
