2011 Audi A3

The 2011 A3 is a 4-door, 5-passenger luxury wagon, available in 6 trims, ranging from the 2.0T Premium Manual to the 2.0T Premium quattro S tronic.



Upon introduction, the 2.0T Premium Manual is equipped with a standard 2.0-liter, I4, 200-horsepower, turbo engine that achieves 21-mpg in the city and 30-mpg on the highway. A 6-speed manual transmission with overdrive is standard.



The 2.0T Premium quattro S tronic is equipped with a standard 2.0-liter, I4, 200-horsepower, turbo engine that achieves 21-mpg in the city and 28-mpg on the highway. A 6-speed automatic transmission with overdrive is standard.



The 2011 A3 is a carryover from 2010. 

2011 Audi R8

The 2011 R8 is a 2-door, 2-passenger sports coupe, or convertible, available in 8 trims, ranging from the 4.2 Coupe quattro to the 5.2 Spyder quattro Auto R tronic.

Upon introduction, the 4.2 Coupe quattro is equipped with a standard 4.2-liter, V8, 420-horsepower engine that achieves 11-mpg in the city and 20-mpg on the highway. A 6-speed manual transmission with overdrive is standard. The 5.2 Spyder quattro Auto R tronic is equipped with a standard 5.2-liter, V10, 525-horsepower engine that achieves 13-mpg in the city and 19-mpg on the highway. A 6-speed manual transmission is standard.

The 4.2 Coupe quattro has been redesigned for 2011. The 5.2 Spyder quattro Auto R tronic is all-new for 2011. 



The base 4.2 R8 has a 420 horsepower high-revving V8 engine and all-wheel-drive. It uses the mid-engine Lamborghini Gallardo platform and starts at $114,200, positioning it squarely against the BMW M6, Porsche 911, and Aston Martin Vantage.
The car features a choice of LED or Xenon headlamps surrounded by LED running lights and indicators. LEDs are also used in the engine bay to make the impressive V8 visible even at night.
Both a standard manual and an automated manual transmission are offered. Claimed zero to 62 mph time is 4.6 seconds, though this number is likely conservative.



Interior
The interior has a driver-oriented cockpit architecture, integrating the driver between the dashboard and the high center console. The instrument panel above the console is angled slightly towards the driver. The flat-bottomed steering wheel is a typical feature of the sportiest Audi models, and also enables comfortable sports car entry and exit.
The sports seats are trimmed as standard in a Leather/Alcantara combination, or optionally in full leather. Alternatively, the R8 can also be fitted with bucket seats, specially developed by quattro GmbH. There is plenty of room for the two occupants, with comfort levels well beyond the norm of high-performance sports cars. There is space behind the seats to stow large bags, or even two golf bags. The luggage compartment at the front has a capacity of 100 litres.
With numerous trim variants and applications in Piano finish or Carbon sigma, there are few limits to the range of customization options for the interior.


The drivetrain
At 7,800 rpm the 4.2-liter engine delivers 309 kW (420 bhp) of power output. Peak torque is 430 Newton-meters from 4.500 to 6,000 rpm. And no less than 90 per cent of this maximum torque is maintained consistently throughout a wide engine speed range from 3,500 all the way to 7,600 rpm. As a result of these qualities, the eight-cylinder power unit provides ample thrust in most driving situation.


The engine is a high-revving unit. The maximum engine speed is 8,250 rpm. Two transmissions are available: a manual 6-speed gearbox or optionally the Audi R tronic sequential-shift gearbox, with a joystick gear-shift on the center console and, most especially, the paddles mounted on the steering wheel. 'Shift by wire' technology provides for very fast gear-shifting and an outstanding power-to-weight ratio, allied to compact gearbox dimensions. The Sport mode, with its fast shifting, guarantees the absolute maximum in terms of driving fun. An automatic mode can also be selected.
The car is fitted with permanent four-wheel drive, which distributes the power variably to the front and rear axles by way of a viscous clutch. On the Audi R8 the legendary quattro system is adapted to the axle load distribution typical of mid-engined cars.


The chassis
The chassis features forged aluminum double wishbones at the front and rear. At the front they are triangulated, while at the rear the top one is triangulated and the bottom one is a triangulated wishbone with a track rod. This provides for optimum wheel control, and is a geometry which has proved itself to be the ideal solution in delivering agility, maximum steering precision and precisely defined self-steering characteristics.
Direct, hydraulic rack-and-pinion steering provides optimum feedback to assist the driver.
The spring and damper set-up is stiff in order to deliver maximum driving dynamics, while still providing a quite astonishing level of ride comfort. This is particularly true when the 'Audi magnetic ride' adaptive damper system is chosen as an alternative to the standard gas-filled shock absorbers.
Instead of the conventional damper fluid, a magnetorheological fluid is used -- in other words, a fluid whose viscosity can be influenced by an electromagnetic field. This effect enables the damping characteristic to be influenced electronically at will and instantaneously, by applying a voltage to the electromagnets.
Audi magnetic ride uses this property to deliver the correct damping forces in every driving situation. A computer determines the prevailing driving situation in a matter of milliseconds. Drivers can choose from two driving programs depending on whether they want to drive in a highly sporty style -- with the magnetorheological fluid adjusted to a low viscosity -- or with the emphasis more on ride comfort.
The Audi R8 is fitted with 6-arm 18-inch wheels as standard, and can optionally be ordered with 19-inch wheels. The 235/40 size tires at the front and up to 285/35 at the rear provide the necessary road-holding. The mid-engined sports car's long wheelbase and extremely low center of gravity ensure that it always retains maximum stability.



Equipment and trim
Xenon plus lights, LED rear lights and daytime running lights, 18-inch aluminium wheels, an audio system with 7-inch monitor, an anti-theft alarm and Leather/Alcantara interior trim are just some of the items on the extensive list of standard features.
The range of optional extras includes a Bang & Olufsen sound system, featuring an output of 465 watts and 12 specially designed speakers. A microphone-based vehicle noise compensation system adjusts audio levels to changing road conditions and speeds.
The acoustic parking system and a rear-view camera help the driver to maneuver into even the tightest of spaces. The radio/navigation system plus, featuring a large-format color monitor and MMI keypad, combines extensive functionality with extreme user-friendliness.
A total of eight exterior colors are available, from Ibis White to Phantom Black, pearl effect.


Craftsmanship
The Audi R8 is being built on a small-lot production line in a specially constructed new block at the Audi plant in Neckarsulm. The entire production process -- from the bodyshell construction to final assembly -- is organized in the same way as a craft workshop. Small teams of specialists accompany every step of production, ensuring that every one of the maximum of 15 cars per day built is up to quality standards.

Audi R8 Reviews

Audi R8

The stability of the Audi R8 is a surprising level and also conveys a sense of security could hardly have made cars to be as fast cornering. Dynamically, the Audi R8 is the motor sports centre or rear more like a sports saloon.

Audi R8
The Audi R8 is a two-seater coupe with rear central engine of 420 hp, aluminum chassis and traction total. The Audi R8 has a similar size and a Lamborghini Gallardo or a Porsche 911 Turbo.

Audi R8

Audi has done the Audi R8 coupe with a dynamic qualities very convincing. For the response of its engine and the chassis tuning, is as satisfying as the best sporting a similar price.

Audi R8

A Porsche 911 is clearly more demanding with the driver and only higher than the Audi R8 for its extraordinary capacity for braking.

Audi R8

A BMW M6 coupe is a luxury faster in a straight, but is far from being a sport as the Audi R8.

Audi R8
Audi R8

The worst of the Audi R8 is its manual shifter (six speeds, with a clutch bi-disk), because sometimes marches come with difficulty. If the change had no grid, maybe things would improve greatly.

Audi R8

An alternative may be the version of the Audi R8 with automatic change 'R-Tronic' and has more controls sequential and a lever on the steering wheel. This change is an automatic motorized variant of the manual is not a change of clutch double as the "S-Tronic 'other Audi models (" DSG "in Volkswagen).

Audi R8 Interior

Audi R8
Audi R8

The brakes of Audi R8 meet, but neither has a particularly good touch, nor stops the car at short distances to be expected from a car as well. Later the Audi R8 may take some option of disc brakes composite material.

Audi R8 Engine

Audi R8
Audi R8

The engine is very good from the standpoint of benefits and the response to the accelerator. It is an engine rotation speed (upload speed with strength to over 8,000 rpm), but almost any regime surprised because it has a very direct and forceful response to accelerator, which makes it very pleasant to use.

Audi R8

The drawback is that this car is that you have a very high consumption, even at a moderate pace highway.

Audi R8

The Audi R8 has many drawbacks for everyday use in town because the body makes little visibility in some corners and you need plenty of room to rotate. It has two seats and a small trunk and little usable.

Audi R8

Within the spectacular of his body, has plenty of site for two occupants, including high-class, and access to or exit from the interior are only limited because the seats are very close to the ground (the doors are large enough).
