2008 Audi TT Roadster - AutoWeek (#)

„The roadster’s top is fabric, Audi choosing to buck the trend toward folding hardtops. A complaint about the old TT was its floppy chassis, so this time around, Audi stiffened the car’s aluminum space frame with beefed-up aluminum side sills and added strength to the A-pillars with a thickened steel tube in the windshield frame., Audi claims torsional rigidity is more than double that of the first-generation roadster.“

2008 Audi R8 - New Car, Truck, and SUV Drivens and Reviews - Automobile Magazine (#)

„Is it another mid-engine monster, or is it an indifferent and androgynous plaything? Is it a properly involving driver's car, or is it just a blindingly fast but strangely anonymous weapon like Audi's defunct RS6? To our surprise, the Gallardo connection turns out to be much more blurred than we anticipated. "The Lamborghini was a good starting point for the R&D team," concedes Isgen.“

Audi RS4 (#)

„The single-frame radiator grille, the rear end with its distinctly horizontal styling and the sculpted sides all prove that the RS 4 is truly a member of the A4 family. However, the radiator grille in diamond look, the additional air inlets in the front end as well as wheels developed specifically for the RS 4 clearly differentiate the car from a standard Audi A4 ...“

New-Car Reports From Around The World: May 2003 - Popular Mechanics (#)

„It's the time-honored ploy of the sleeper: make a midsize car with a giant motor. In this case, it's actually a small car--to wit, an Audi A4. Shoehorned into its engine compartment is a 40-valve 340-hp 4.2-liter V8 derived from the engine in the much larger A8. Yes, it's capable of prodigious acceleration--0 to 60 mph in just about 5.5 seconds.“

2007-2008 Audi R8 unveiled (#)

„Looks great, good numbers, can't wait to hear how it handles and how they've tunes the awd system (hopefully rear-biased like the RS4)…and how heavy is that thing? if its aluminum-intensive in the chassis and structure (which you'd assume it would be being the top performing audi and all), it could be a real gem of a car!“

PSA Peugeot Citroën Unveils 69MPG Diesel Hybrid Prototypes (#)

„Those 2 were under or around 1 ton cars and their crash test are at shame against the 207 (and 307 and C4)... and Audi and Vw is not the car I would trust regarding mechanics against Peugeot even if the body of the Audi are the most rust proof.“
