If two of the most well-regarded publications were to pit some of the best large luxury sedans against each other, who do you think would come out on top? If you were to guess the Audi A8, then you'd be right. According to Car and Driver and Road & Track, the 2011 A8L easily beat out the XJL and 750Li because of its premium design and buttoned up engine that together make for one for...

Audi Fine Tunes the e-tron Concept

With the advent of all-electric cars, auto enthusiasts are now getting the chance to enjoy top performance with less damage to the environment. Of course, there are plenty of differences between electric performance vehicles and traditionally-powered sports cars, but there is one that drivers are really lamenting. And that is, of course, the sound. There's hardly anything better than the sound of a car like the Audi S4 accelerating.

Audi Says So Long Vampires with LED Lights

When Audi introduced the first full-LED headlights in 2008, it completely changed the way we've come to think of night driving. To start with, they've allowed the automaker to stylize the headlights on each vehicle in a way that's distinctly Audi.

We don't think there's much you could do to improve a ride in an Audi R8. With a 5.2-liter V10 engine pumping out 525 horsepower, the pleasure that comes from this super car is in the power, for sure. But imagine if somebody else got to drive you around while you just enjoyed the ride? How about if you were sitting in the backseat of a stretched out version of the R8...

Audi To Bring More Diesel Power to the US

Here's what we hear a lot of at Hoehn Audi: people looking for better fuel economy immediately start shopping for a hybrid. But you don't have to drive a hybrid to get excellent top-notch fuel efficiency.
