Audi A7 "2012" | Review cars.

Name : Audi A7 2012
Description cars : Audi presents new car and new car was named the Audi A7 2012. Mengingatkankan we are on a trusted old friend. That's pretty pujian.Dengan 5 door, with a beautiful design and sleek, and with a supercharged engine making advanced sheetmetal and all-wheel drive. Inside, there are four places laden with luxury cabin and some of the industry's most innovative technologies. Impressive, but that's not what sets the Audi apart.

   Price :
   For the price of the basic Audi A7 3.0 TFSI in 2012 was $ 59,250. This price exceeds the base price of the BMW 535i xDrive Gran Turismo ($ 58.800) but significantly less than the entry-level all-wheel-drive Porsche Panamera four ($ 78.900), and comes standard with all-wheel drive. Our test car came configured with Moonlight Blue metallic paint ($ 475) in black leather upholstery. The main options include Prestige package ($ 6,330), which adds the S-line exterior, navigation, Audi Connect, a four-zone climate control, Bose audio upgrade, adaptive headlights, smart buttons, parking sensors and much more. Audi Side Assist ($ 500) and destination ($ 875) brings our bottom line to $ 67,430. Price in accordance with both the BMW 5 Series GT is equipped with both, but we all know nothing is touching the Porsche Panamera for less than $ 85,000.

In addition to the Multi-Media Interface (MMI) with hideaway 6.5-inch screen high on the dashboard, there is a smaller five-inch multi-function display between the tachometer and speedometer. Onboard entertainment includes standard SIRIUS Satellite Radio (with a three-month free subscription), single in-dash CD and the Audi music interface offering iPod, USB and AUX inputs. Our Bose upgrade (a Bang & Olufsen Advanced system is available too) was bundled with surround sound and HD Radio - Bluetooth phone connectivity is also standard. If we have any serious ergonomic gripes, it's that the start button is on the passsenger's side of the center console – an odd location often obscured by the gearshift lever.
Exterior design.

   Three-zone climate control is standard, but our A7 arrived with a four-zone upgrade and front seat ventilation (heated front seats are standard) keeping us cool and comfortable whether sitting behind the thick four-spoke leather steering wheel or in the front passenger seat. Audi's five-door does not stake claim to the roomiest occupant compartment, but our six-foot two-inch frame found the front seats very accommodating, even though we would have welcomed a bit more side bolster. The rear seats, on the other hand, were a bit less accommodating than the fronts thanks to limited head and toe room, but most adults will find them above average for most trips. Behind the rear seats is a generous luggage area hidden by a two-piece cover. In the rare situation more space is needed, both rear seats fold down (60:40 split with a ski pass-through) to reveal cargo space that would make most big crossovers envious.

Engine Audi A7 "2012"
According to Audi, the A7 3.0T will hit 60 mph in 5.4 seconds with an electronically limited top speed of 130 mph (the European models are limited to 155 mph). The five-door is hardly a lightweight. In fact, its curb weight is listed at 4,210 pounds despite the fact the hood, roof, fenders and tailgate are aluminum, yet those strong acceleration figures demonstrate the near-perfect marriage between the powerplant, transmission and driveline. And if frugality is your thing, the EPA rates the vehicle at 18 mpg city, 28 mpg highway and 22 mpg combined – impressive numbers for a sedan with this mass (our real-world fuel economy aligned perfectly with those figures). In real-world driving around the busy LA Basin, the cabin of the A7 is whisper silent. Somehow, even with frameless windows, studious aerodynamic engineering and brilliant use of sound deadening material kept the wind, tire and even engine noise outside. The A7 is one of the quietest real-world cars we have ever experienced at any price.

New Audi S8 "2013" | Review in-ex.

Name : Audi S8.
Years : 2013.
Description : The Audi S8, which will be launched on the market in spring 2012, is the new head of the Audi S model family - a large, luxurious sedan of supreme power. The new 4.0 TFSI in the Audi S8 generates no less than 382 kW (520 hp) and delivers a constant 650 Nm (479.42 lb-ft) of torque to the crankshaft between 1,700 and 5,500 rpm. The result is outstanding performance: The sprint from zero to 100 km/h (62.14 mph) takes just 4.2 seconds, and top speed is electronically capped at 250 km/h (155.34 mph). This makes the fuel consumption of the sonorous and smooth twin-turbo V8 all the more amazing: It averages just 10.2 liters per 100 km (23.06 US mpg), much less than its competitors. The free-breathing, 5.2-liter V10 in the previous model consumed an average of 13.2 liters per 100 km (17.82 US mpg). 

    Fuel consumption decreased by nearly 23 percent despite a 51 kW (70 hp) increase in output. Behind the top value for the new Audi S8 are the combined technologies of the Audi modular efficiency platform, including the recuperation and start-stop systems. The newly developed "cylinder on demand" technology plays a particularly large role. Under part load, it deactivates four of the eight cylinders for an efficiency gain that is particularly pronounced at moderate highway speeds. A package of acoustic measures including the Active Noise Cancellation system suppresses possible intrusive noise and vibrations. The eight-speed tiptronic in the Audi S8 also unites sportiness and efficiency. It uses tall gears at low revs whenever possible, but downshifts quickly and comfortably when requested by the driver. The tiptronic delivers the power to a quattro drivetrain combining a self-locking center differential with the sport differential at the rear axle. During dynamic driving, the lion's share of the power flows to the outside wheel to literally push the large sedan into the corner.
 Interior cars !
 
Interior :
   The interior shines with craftsman-like fit and finish and small yet effective accents. The multi-way, power-adjustable comfort sport seats have been designed exclusively for the Audi S8. They are optionally available with exclusive seat upholstery in quilted lunar silver. The stitching and piping are in contrasting steel gray, while the upper inlays on the instrument panel and tiptronic selector lever present the material Carbon Atlas.
The leather multifunction sport steering wheel has color-contrasting stitching and an S8 emblem, which can also be found on the instruments. Typical of the Audi S models, these have gray dials with white needles - a design which is repeated in the classic analogue clock. The illuminated door sill trims with the S8 logo are a further eye-catcher. The display of the driver information system and the MMI monitor greet the driver with special S8 screens. The shift paddles and pedals are in an aluminum-look finish; a red ring frames the start button. The Audi S8 offers a wide selection of interior colors, inlays and seat upholstery. These include particularly soft Valcona leather and seats with ventilation and massage functions. The leather package, a DVD changer, the convenience key with sensor-controlled lock for the trunk and the ambient lighting package round out the list of standard interior equipment. The Audi S8 is also equipped with the innovative LED headlights and double glazing.
 Exterior :
   Beyond the generous standard equipment, Audi makes all of the high-end options from the A8 series available in the new S8. The driver assistance systems, which are closely networked with one another and the navigation system, are particularly innovative. The core of these is the adaptive cruise control system with stop & go function; others include Audi side assist, Audi lane assist, the speed limit display and the night vision assistant with highlighting of detected pedestrians. Supplementing these technologies is the safety system Audi pre sense, which is available in a number of versions. A new break recommendation function uses steering motions and additional parameters to detect if the driver is getting tired and issues an appropriate warning. New to the A8 family is the parking system with 360° camera. Four small cameras record images of the sedan's immediate surroundings and a computer splices them together. The driver can call up a variety of views on the MMI monitor, including a virtual top-down view. The system enhances safety while maneuvering and in narrow driveways. Special views allow the driver to see cross-traffic. The MMI navigation plus, which comes standard, represents the state-of-the-art in infotainment systems. It includes the groundbreaking MMI touch input system, a large hard drive and a high-resolution 8-inch display. The high-end system can be combined with the likewise standard Bluetooth online car phone, which brings special Internet services to the car and provides WLAN connectivity for mobile devices. The Bang & Olufsen Advanced Sound System with its 1,400 watt amplifiers and 19 speakers impresses with its amazing sound.

   The fastest Audi ever already accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 4.7 seconds in factory trim. The edo R8 needs just 4.5 seconds and achieves a top speed of over 310 km/h (192 mph). edo competition offers this new full stainless steel high-flow exhaust system in two different sounds levels. The result is a power increase of 16 kW (22 hp) and a 20 Nm (15 ft-lb) increase in torque. The trimetal-coated high-flow catalytic converters, which were designed specifically for the R8, ensure full OBD2 compliance and feature impressive performance. At edo competition form and function are strongly connected. The R8's perfect balance and improved downforce, thanks to the body upgrades, become especially apparent when the car is accelerating. The edo R8 owes its aerodynamic advantages to a newly developed front lip spoiler and 8 rear bumper inserts. The new rear diffuser, also providing additional downforce, has an even greater effect. As usual at edo competition, the aerodynamic components are available in super light-weight carbon fiber. The sporting concept is rounded off by edo competition's latest wheel design. No matter whether in 19 or 20 in., these performance wheels perfect the R8's impressive appearance and feature high-strength forged centers with polished stainless steel outer rims and high-strength aluminium inner rims. All sport wheels can be custom painted.
