On the one hand, of course, in terms of design and on the other hand also with the equipment and the engines. Thus come about, other performance and better fuel economy.
The changes in design can be seen above all in the front, the fog lights, the headlights in the front and rear. Due to the changes come about, other external dimensions. The interior was mainly the revised and simplified operation. Thus, the navigation system MMI navigation plus is made ​​with only half the keys, then four.

Audi A5







Whether you take the Audi A5‘s designer at his word or not when he calls it the best he’s ever done –and Walter de Silva has no shortage of gorgeous designs on his resume– the 2011 Audi A5 offers a certain understated elegance layered over an athletic physique that few cars in its price range can match. MotorAuthority appreciates the aesthetics, but wishes the U.S. got a bit more sporting version of the Audi A5 than its AudiS5 big brother, and scores the Audi A5 an 8 out of 10.
If Audi’s move from the margins to the mainstream of luxury auto brands is due to any one factor, it’s design. At Audi, the TT is arguably the apotheosis of the brand’s form language, but the Audi A5 is another potent distillation. True, it’s not too far removed from its four-door sibling, the A4, but the coupe does wear its own uniquely sculpted sheetmetal, and the A5 is all the more distinctive due to its relative rarity compared to the seemingly ubiquitous (in some markets, at least) A4.
Consistently high materials quality is a hallmark of the Audi A5, and that doesn’t change with the 2011 model. Leather is standard on all trim levels, while two-tone leather/Alcantara is an available option. Automatic climate control is also standard. The A5′s Multi Media Interface system is impressive, but it can also be confusing to those who are uninitiated. In terms of comfort, the front seats are fine; some drivers may find the low seating position to be annoying, though. The backseat is not meant for extended sitting, though, as headroom and legroom are quite limited.
The Audi A5 is virtually identical to the 2010 model; however, a few extra options have been added to a couple of packages. Still, there are sure to be many drivers eager to get behind the wheel of the coupe or cabriolet. With an MSRP that averages between $36,500 and $44,000, though, the A5 is well outside the budget of many drivers. You get a lot for that sticker price, however, including a standard turbocharged 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine, an optional 3.2-liter V6 and standard all wheel drive. Throw in the car’s sumptuous design, and its MSRP starts looking pretty economical.
Audi’s 2.0T engine is the class of the turbo four-cylinder field (no wonder Audi is spreading it throughout its lineup). The boost is seamlessly integrated, and unleashes a wave of torque that pushes you along. Pairing this engine with Audi’s six-speed manual makes it even more lively. In the Audi A5 coupe, it results in a factory-measured 0-to-60 time of 6.4 seconds, which easily outruns the new Mercedes-Benz C250 coupe, with its new turbocharged, direct-injected four. Standard Quattro means torque steer is not an issue. The A5′s six-speed manual might not be quite as slick as what you’ll find in a BMW 328i, but it still provides nice, light shift action and short throws. As a bonus, the six-speed stick gets better gas mileage than the automatic, despite the latter transmission’s two extra gears. At 21 mpg city, 31 mpg highway, the A5 is as economical as some compacts.

Audi R8 2011 Luxurious and Sports Cars







The Audi R8 is a supercar, but that doesn’t mean it’s uncompromising and hard-edged. It’s an incredibly capable performance machine, yet every bit as luxurious as it is sporting. The posh interior is loaded with electronics and bathed in leather and Alcantara. With Audi’s venerable 4.2-liter V8 providing the power, the R8 isn’t at all temperamental – as the notion of a supercar might suggest. And, with a Lamborghini-sourced V10 also available, the Audi R8 can better compete with its most obvious rival, the Porsche 911 Turbo, along with a number of exotic Italians as well.
Audi R8 GT gets an exclusive look
Under the Audi R8 GT sit 19-inch, twin five-spoke wheels with a Y design that are finished in a titanium color. the wheels are wrapped in 235/35/R19 rubber in the front with an 8.5-inch wide wheel, while the rear wheels are 11 inches wide and are covered in 295/30/R19 rubber. Audi says that upon request it can also fit 305/30R19 tires for the rear.
The grille is painted matte black, surrounded by a single frame which is finished in matte titanium gray – along with the struts and slats in the air intakes. The lower front splitter is double lipped and is made from carbon fiber. On either side of the front fascia you will find curved flics to help increase downforce over the front axle – which are also formed from carbon fiber.
Audi says that many of the changes made to reduce the weight of the R8 GT also reduce the weight and enhance the aerodynamics. The Audi R8 GT produces even more downforce at high speeds than the standard production model – without any increase in the Cd value (0.36) or frontal area (21.42 sq ft

Audi Q7 – 2011 Audi Q7







The Audi Q7 is Audi’s first ever SUV offering with a recent refresh and a new engine lineup. The large crossover provides seating for seven and rides on Volkswagen’s 7L platform. The design was originally based on the Audi’s Pikes Peak quattro concept car, and mechanically the Q7 is similar to both the Volkswagen Touareg and Porsche Cayenne.
The Audi Q7 continues to deliver distinctive elegance, lots of cargo room and six- or seven-passenger seating. With new supercharged engines for this year, it’s even more powerful and efficient than ever. However, its high price still means there are plenty of others in this class that offer more for the money.

The Audi Q7 gets some much-needed changes for 2011 — but you wouldn’t know by looking at it. Rather, the substantial changes are under the hood. Gone are the sluggish 3.6-liter V6 and 4.2-liter V8 engines. Instead, they’re replaced by two supercharged 3.0-liter V6s paired with a new eight-speed automatic transmission.
The 2011 Audi Q7 is just a so called improved model. Not only the skin has been revamped but also the engine has undergone the swap treatment. For me, the Q7 is just another vehicle which came for a testing analysis and nothing else. For the buyers, however, there is a word of caution. There are lot more worthy competitors with more snob value than this car and with better towing capabilities. The towing capacity for this car ranks in at 6,600 pounds, that is only once it is properly equipped. If I had that much money on me, I would have chosen the Porsche Cayenne, even though it doesn’t have an extra set of seats. For those looking for the Audi brand, there is nothing better than the Q7 at this stage. The top end Audi Q7 price is $60,275 with all the options kitted in.

Performance

The maximum torque of the Avant models is between 280 (2.8 FSI) and 500 Newton meters (3.0 TDI quattro).
