It’s been rumored for a while now that Audi was exploring the possibility of adding a four-door sedan body style to its A3 range, but today, the German firm officially confirmed the news with the release of the first official sketches of the A3 Concept ahead of its world premiere at the 81st International Geneva Motor Show in early March.

While Audi execs are whistling dixie about the possibility of the new RS5 Coupe making its way on this side of the Atlantic, Automobile magazine is reporting that the 450-horsepower strong stallion from Ingolstadt is likely to arrive in the U.S. by summer of 2011.

Recently the tuners from ENCO Exclusive released the modified Audi Q7, and have now turned to the Audi Q5 for upgrades. The new program features several styling improvements with a body kit based off the big brother Q7. This aerodynamic kit consists of a new bumper with large blackened air inlets, new hood, rear skirt, rear spoiler, and LED daytime running lights in the front. Integrated in the new rear bumper are oval exhaust pipes coming from the Audi Q5 V12 TDI engine. A brand new set of silver monoblock wheels from the ENCO “Jura” style were installed, and measure 22×10, which come wrapped in Pirelli Scorpion Zero tires sized 285/30/22.

ABT Sportsline released a new line of styling kits this past week, the two we have here are for the Audi A8 and Audi R8 GTR cars. Starting with the new GTR-version for the Audi R8, the V10 supercar received a lot of lightweight aerodynamic parts to enhance its appearance. With a new front bonnet, front and rear aprons, and carbon fiber adjustable rear wing, the aggressive R8 GTR looks like it could take on the notorious Nissan GTR. The windows were even replaced with Makrolon pieces, a super strong, lightweight material that is better than the factory parts. ABT’s tuning firm swapped the original door panels with carbon fiber ones, and all these feather-like additions made the Audi R8 GTR 100 kg lighter than the stock model.

After the online leakage of the Audi RS5 Coupe brochure this past weekend, there was no point in holding back anymore, so the German automaker came out with an official release on its Geneva-bound BMW M3 fighter.

The German company Oettinger has customized this Audi TT with a matte black paint job and several tuning upgrades. A new complete aerodynamic body kit was installed that consists of a carbon fiber front lip spoiler, side skirts, headlight masks, and rear wing. Oettinger has been on the tuning scene for a while now, customizing everything from Volkswagens, to Seats, Skodas, and everything in between. With this new package for the Audi TT, the cars style is definitely more aggressive.

Here we have some new products available for the Audi R8 from the tuning company Switzer Performance. The the new packages enhances the performance figures for both the V8 and V10 versions, each individually priced. For the 4.2-liter V8 Audi R8, the guys at Switzer were able to increase the output to 440 hp with some simple ECU tuning. The tuning costs $1,995 and is compatible with the stock components, such as the intake and exhaust. For those with the more powerful engine, Switzer Performance offers several parts to gain some impressive numbers.

Just a few months after the debut of the Audi e-tron at the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show, Audi unveiled a second full-electric sports car concept at the Detroit show today. Bypassing the silly and confusing ‘Detroit showcar Audi e-tron’ name, the German firm’s new concept model is said to provide a vision of how a small sports car positioned below R8 could look like.

An all new performance tuning package has been released for the Audi TT-RS by the company B&B. There are four different tuning stages available for the new Audi, all resulting with impressive power numbers. The Stage 1 kit consists of a simple ECU tuning to take the boost level up an extra 0.2 bar, giving the engine 410 hp and priced at 1,950 euro. In the Stage 2 package, customers receive an extra 0.25 bar of boost along with an upgraded cooling system, resulting in 425 hp for 2,950 euro. The third stage is a bit more expensive than the first two, but the performance increases are well worth it.
