Volkswagen, Audi et l'Institut de technologie des surfaces de Braunschweig, en Allemagne, travaillent sur un projet de pare-brise sur lequel le givre ne peut se former, épargnant donc le conducteur d'une basse corvée en hiver.Those Germans sure love playing around with the words 'black' and 'white'. Hopefully this time, we won't have any controversies of the kind that were created with the AVUS White Power RS6 Avant. But back to our story, German tuning firm Senner has released an array of upgrades for the Audi A5 Coupe. Starting from the outside, Senner Tuning offers a new bodykit with carbon fiber accessories that include a front lip spoiler, mirror housings, rear apron, side skirts and a rear spoiler.
The styling kit is complemented by a set of LED rear lights and 20-inch alloy wheels in massive 245/30 R20 tires at the front and 295/25 R20 at the rear.
Inside, the dashboard can be upgraded with a carbon fiber trim that is available in various finishes.
Performance goodies on Senner Tuning's 'Black and White' menu include a fully adjustable Bilstein coilover suspension, a sport exhaust system and an power-kit for the 3.0-liter TDI diesel engine that boosts output to 300HP and 600Nm or 443-lbs/ft of torque in which case the A5 Coupe achieves a top speed of 280 km/h or 174mph (with the removal of the speed limiter).
If the original Audi TT was the hairdresser's car in some people's eyes, then this lookalike replica of the TT Roadster is beyond doubt, Mickey Mouse's car... Discovered on UK's eBay, the seller does not state on which car it is based, but it's almost certain that the donor car is the Banham X21, a small British roadster which in turn was based on the Austin Metro mini and used a 1.3-liter engine. The X21 already looked a lot like the TT Roadster so if that's the case, then conversion wasn't that hard of a task. Check out the creepy little bugger in the gallery after the jump.
Audi has announced a pair of new common-rail diesel engines that will join the A3 and A3 Sportback lineups. The most powerful variant of the 1.6-liter TDi produces 105HP and 230 Nm (170 lb-ft) of torque, and is combined with Audi's new start and stop, and energy recovery systems. With this engine the A3 sprints from 0 to 100km/h (62mph) in 11.4 seconds and reached a top speed of 194 km/h (121mph) while consuming on average 4.1 liters of diesel per 100km (57.37 US mpg). This equates to 109 grams of CO2 per kilometer.
There's also a 90HP version of the 1.6-liter TDi that propels the A3 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 12.9 seconds and on to a top speed of 180km/h (112 mph). This model, which does not feature the start/stop system or energy recovery, has a higher average consumption of 4.5 l/100 km (52.27 US mpg) with CO2 emissions of 118 grams per kilometer .
The A3 1.6 TDI is available for order in Europe with the basic price for the 90HP version set at €22,550 and for the 105HP model at €23,550. Those who opt for the 5-door Sportback model will be charged an extra €900.

When Audi released the first pictures of the 2012 Audi A6 sedan, many readers found the design somewhat bland. The new model is definitely an evolution and not a revolution, sharing many design cues with the A4, A7 Sportback and the flagship A8. I must admit though that, after seeing the car in video, my opinion on the styling has nudged a little towards the positive side. Of course taste is subjective, so tell us what you think in the comments section after the jump.

If you have a liking for the hottest TT ever, then you'll appreciate our new gallery on the Coupe and Roadster versions of the new RS that was recently introduced to the members of the press in Europe. Revealed for the first time at the 2009 Geneva motorshow in March, Audi's brawny TT RS revives the German firm's five-cylinder engine tradition with its turbocharged and direct fuel-injected 2.5-liter five-pot churning out 340HP and 450 Nm (331.90 lb.-ft.) of torque. Drive is sent to all four wheels through a six-speed manual gearbox, though expect to see a S-Tronic dual clutch transmission being offered in the near future.
According to the Ingolstadt carmaker, the TT RS Coupe accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (62mph) in 4.6 seconds while the Roadster variant completes the sprint in 4.7 seconds. Top speed is electronically restricted to 250 km/h or 155mph but customers have the option of removing the limiter in which case the RS can go up to 280 km/h or 174mph.
In spite of the fact that Audi supports that it has no plans of bringing either version of the RS in the States at this time, there have been rumors that the company is delaying the sportscar's introduction in the U.S. to help the sales of the 265HP TT S models.
