Awesome Audi

We’re not sure about the shoe-like footprint of the Audi EXO car when viewed from above. Andrea Mocellin’s “human-powered exoskeleton” vehicle might help Fred Flintstone’s aching feet.

Audi’s new R8 GT shaves 220 pounds off the prior model, and boosting the engine to a 560hp V10, helping it zip from 0 to 60 in under 3.6 seconds. Only 333 will be made, selling for about $255k.

Audi keeps cranking out bigger and badder A8s. This behemoth not only ups the ante with a huge 6.3 liter, 500-hp power plant, it’s a ridiculous 17-feet long. Perfect for presidential motorcades.

The guys over at Germany’s MTM ripped apart this Audi R8 GT3, and turned it into a rear-wheel drive beast. Supercharged to crank out a massive 560-hp, it can hit 100km/h in less than 4 seconds.

The new Audi TT had a slight facelift yet looks as good as ever to us, with a new 2.0 liter TFSI 4 cylinder engine, increased hp and torque, flat black rear diffuser and 4 new paint colors.

You probably won’t mind being the designated driver with 20″ rims, front seat massage feature, Bang & Olufsen sound and voice control nav options in the 350 hp, 4.2 liter V8 Audi A8 sedan.

Fresh from Holland, the Donkervoort D8 235 E has a cool open-cockpit design, and an ample Audi-built 235-hp, 1.8 liter inline engine. There’s a 270-hp model too if you need more speed.

Abt Sportline’s tastefully modded R8 Spyder adds a carbon grill, aprons, side sills, and spoiler while boosting the stock 5.2L V10 to 600 hp, good for a 198 mph top speed and 3.8s 0-62.

Its pictures have already been leaked, but Audi’s 2011 RS5 is now official: no word on a U.S. release, but the luxury coupe sports a 4.2L V8 with 450 hp / 317 lb-ft, good for a 0-62 of 4.6s.

Audi’s A1 is official and coming to Europe: the 3-door supermini car (a 5-door hatch comes later) tops out with a 1.6L TDI or 1.4L TFSI, weighs just 2303 lbs, and averages 46 mpg.

It may have a UK price now, but Audi’s R8 V10 Spyder is priceless in this smokin’ promo video; the open-top two-seater goes 0-62 in 4.1s courtesy a 5.2L V10 good for 525 hp.

Audi’s E-Tron V2 speeds closer to a 2012 launch with 204 hp and 1,955 lb-ft of torque at the wheels, good for 0-60 in 5.9s; it also gets an improved interior, heat pump, and regenerative braking.

Audi’s new creme-de-la-creme A8 also gets Mountain View’s best of breed: drivers will be able to navigate in 3D using Google Earth on an 8″ LCD screen thanks to a built-in UMTS modem.

Audi’s flagship 2011 A8 sports mostly evolutionary changes for the fourth generation including full LED headlights, a 4.2L FSI V8 good for 372 hp, 15% better MPG, and 8-speed Tiptronic.

MTM’s Audi TT RS mods push the stock turbo 5-cylinder up to 424 hp (from 340 hp) thanks to ECU and exhaust tweaks; also available: MTM cat back exhaust and bimoto rims.

Letting robots drive is still a touchy matter, but Stanford has developed a robotic Audi TTS able to hit speeds of 80 mph and drift; they aim to tackle Pikes Peak next year, rally style.

Draped in gorgeous matte-black, Avus Performance’s Audi TT-RS gets a 30% boost to 460 hp and 472 lb/ft torque; it’s thanks to ECU and turbo tweaks and is good for a 0-60 of 3.8s.

Just like its A5 brethren, Audi’s S5 Sportback is staying firmly on European soil; still, we can’t help drooling over its S4-sourced supercharged 3.0 L V6, good for 333 hp and 324 lb.-ft.

Based on the R8, we’d go green any day for Audi’s e-tron Concept: four electric motors pump out 313 hp and an astounding 501.5 lb.-ft. of torque, good for a 0-62 of 4.8 seconds.

Specs are scarce, but we’ll settle for these Audi R8 Spyder pics: it’ll come with a 5.2L V10 good for 525 hp/390 lb-ft of torque, a brushed aluminum windshield frame and side scoops.

All show and all go, ABT’s Audi R8 5.2 FSI sports an all-black paint job and a 75 hp boost to 600 hp good for a 0-60 of 3.8s, thanks to a 4-pipe exhaust system and engine tweaks.

Audi’s A5 Sportback is official; essentially a five-door version of the A5 coupe with a tailgate, it’ll be coming to Europe September but most likely will skip the USA this time around.

Installed at the Goodwood Festival in England, Gerry Gudah’s Audi Central Display stands a whopping 105 feet high; it features an R8 on one end and a 1937 Streamliner at the other.
