Audi quattro drifting on icy slope in Kitzbühel

Here is a nice video bliss of Audi driving experience during the Kitzbühel Alpine Skirace weekend

What you will see:

• Audi S4 Avant yellow quattro drifting on a specially prepared ice & snow  round course

Nothing beets quattro (four wheel drive) drifting = over all four wheels (-:

• Audi R8 V10 Spyder in black at the end of the video

Any colour I have seen till now, fits the Audi R8 Spyder

Google Earth comming to Audi A4 / A5 in near future

Audi just introduced Google Earth to the new MMI Navigation version in the new 2011 Audi A8.

A video showing Google Earth in the Audi A8 can be seen here (Click here)

But Google Earth capability is not far from the rest of the Audi range.

As it was already stated in an Nvidia press release (exclusive supplier of the grahic chips used for these new Audi MMI units) from 2012 (2013 in the US?) the whole Audi range should be using it.

A proof can be seen here:

Audi A1 getting contrasting roof arch option

You will be able to order the Audi A1 roof arch in a contrasting colour, no matter what the body colour will be.  Seems to be a similar concept to the Audi R8, where you can order colour contrasting sideblades, which in my opinion truly "personalize" the R8

Really look forward to this feature on the A1 - another step in differentiating it from the competition.

1st Pics: 2011 Audi A8 White

At the 2010 Vienna Autoshow Audi had the brand new (just introduced at the Detroit NAIAS) Audi A8 at the display - in WHITE.

To me - it looks much better in real life than in pics.  And the white colour suits him very well.

Had a chance to play with the new MMI system and I love the new MMI touch - so easy and intuitive, especially when you are used to touchscreen use (iphone, ...)

Here are some pics of the white A8





















I like the new mirror design

2011 Audi A8 demo of new MMI Navigation with Google Earth

I found a very good video showing you not only the

• Google Earth functionalities of the new 2011 Audi A8 MMI Navigation system

but also the

• great Google PIO search out of the Audi MMI Navigation

• Weather forecast

• Audi Album browser (like Apple Ipod / Iphone cover flow)

Sure look forward, not only to the new Audi A8, but also to this industry leading Audi Navigation / Infotainment system - powered by Nvidia chips.

It will spread throughout the Audi range over the comming years. Next Audi to get it will be the Audi A7.
