THERE’S something quietly brilliant about a fast estate. Forget SUVs with more horsepower than sense; the real connoisseur’s choice has always been a big, low-slung wagon with room for the dog, the kids, and enough luggage for a long weekend.
Now Audi has taken that formula into the electric age with the A6 e-tron Avant. And in Launch Edition Performance … Read the rest
What is it and How much?
The Audi S3 Saloon is a rather understated but incredibly quick saloon, designed for those drivers who enjoy performance – but don’t want to shout about it too loudly – but still want space and practicality for the family.
It’s had a mild(ish) update recently with some body and engine tweaks and now … Read the rest
THE new Audi RS 7 Sportback is a true beast of a 5-door coupe – a sophisticated beast, but a beast nonetheless.
With a powerful 4-litre TFSI, V8 twin-turbo under the bonnet, its 600PS and 800Nm of torque can hurl you to 62mph in just 3.6 seconds while the hugely powerful brake system will ensure you have plenty of stopping power when needed.

IT’S big, it’s blue and it’s very beautiful. More importantly it’s an Audi super-car which was mine to do with as I wish for a week – although Tony forced me to drive it up and down the Goyt Valley in Derbyshire so he could take some “pics and footage”. Oh well, anything to oblige a mate . . . … Read the rest
THE new Audi Q5, in true Audi fashion, doesn’t look a great deal different from the old Audi Q5 which I’m sure doesn’t worry the Audi accountants very much as the Q5 has always sold well for Audi.
It is different though – for a start it’s lighter than the older version by around 90kg, is a little more accommodating … Read the rest
THE Audi A4 often gets mentioned in the same sentence as the BMW 3-Series and the Mercedes-Benz C-Class because, like its German siblings, it is now established as among the very best when it comes to aspirational executive saloons – although Jaguar have … Read the rest
On the minute-or-so drive to the Hill Route you have to keep your speed down because there are so many pedestrians about (mostly with their heads buried in the car-list and so not really paying attention to traffic) and other vehicles either coming out or being parked up again.
