The prologue is a prototype series being developed by Audi for concept study, and the prologue allroad is its third model following the Coupe and Avant. As shown by the name “allroad”, it boasts of an all-round running performance, supplemented by quattro full-time 4WD system and enlarged ground-clearance. The concept car features a plug-in hybrid drive which combines 4.0-liter V8 TFSI engine and an electric motor. With its outstanding system power / torque of 540kW(734PS)/ 900Nm、the Audi prologue allroad accelerates 0-100km/h in just 3.5 seconds while achieving an outstanding fuel-economy. In pure electric drive mode, the car can travel up to 54km. (all figures are estimated values for reference, photo:concept model)

The latest generation of a premium mid-size car with world-wide success, the new Audi A4 and A4 Avant will become available in two body configurations, Sedan and Avant, as with the preceding models. The new body, styled with Audi’s traditional sporty elegance, achieves a top-of-class Cd value of 0.23 (Sedan). Two drive systems are offered, FWD (front-wheel-drive) and quattro full-time 4WD. Both versions are powered by drastically revised 2.0-liter TFSI engine in two power levels; 140kW (190PS) and 185kW (252PS). Compared with 2.0 TFSI of the previous A4 models, the 140kW (190PS) unit, featuring an innovative combustion system, has improved fuel economy greatly, while the 185kW (252PS) counter-part became much more powerful.

The Audi Q7 is a premium SUV with spacious and versatile interior accommodating up to 7 people. The original Q7 debuted in 2005 and since has enjoyed popularity as a sporty and stylish fore-runner in the luxury SUV segment. The new, second-generation Audi Q7, developed with a special focus on weight-reduction, has reduced body weight by more than 300kg compared with the previous model. The Audi Q7 e-tron 2.0 TFSI quattro is a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) version of the new Q7, and employs, for the first time as a PHEV, quattro full-time 4WD system. Featuring lithium-ion battery system rechargeable from out-side, the SUV can travel up to about 50km in pure electric mode. Total range is approximately 1,000 kilometers. The combination of the 2.0 TFSI engine and electric motor develops a system power and torque of 270kW(367PS)and 700Nm, enabling the Q7 e-tron to accelerate 0-100km/h in 5.9 seconds and reach a top speed of 220km/h.

The fastest and most dynamic Audi road-car ever, the all-new Audi R8 represents the second generation of the brand’s high-end sport car, whose original model debuted in 2006. Succeeding major technical features of the original series, such as mid-engine layout, ultra-light-weight body with ASF (Audi Space Frame), naturally-aspirated V10 engine, and quattro full-time 4WD system, the R8 has evolved dramatically in all respects. The new body, designed with ASF technology, features, in addition to aluminum as employed extensively in the previous R8, carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP) in the major part of the occupant cell and has further reduced weight while improving rigidity. The revised 5.2 FSI engine develops as much power as 449kW (610PS) and enables the new Audi R8 (V10 plus) to accelerate from stand-still to 100km/h in just 3.2 seconds and up to the highest-ever maximum speed of 330km/h.

The new Audi S8 plus is a super sport sedan with a top-level engine performance in the premium saloon segment. Its all-aluminum body, developed on the base of ASF technology, is lighter than that of any rival, with a weight of mere 231kg. The maximum output of the 4.0-liter V8 bi-turbo TFSI engine has been boosted by 65kW (85PS) over standard S8 up to 445kW (605PS), and its maximum torque of 700Nm can be raised up to 750Nm for a short time in over-boost mode. The Audi S8 plus can accelerate from stand-still to 100km/h in just 3.8 seconds, and its governed top speed of 250 km/h can optionally be increased to 305 km/h.

The Audi TTS is the high-performance version of the Audi TT sport car, fitted with a high-output engine and quattro full-time 4WD system. In addition to the original Coupe, the Roadster version will soon become available. Its 2.0 TFSI engine develops a maximum power of 310PS while improving fuel economy greatly over the previous model. It averages just 6.9 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers. The car’s exterior and interior are customized; special features include Single Frame Grille, bumpers, door sills, wheels in the exterior and seats, door trims, steering wheel, decorative panels on the console in the interior. Moreover, matrix LED headlights, advanced digital instrument cluster “Audi virtual cockpit”, and active damper control system “Audi magnetic ride” are offered as standard. The 3-layer soft-top of the TTS Roadster opens and closes within 10 seconds even while the car is running at speeds less than 50km/h. (all figures are of European versions, photo:EU specification)

A renowned sport-prototype which has challenged the World Endurance Championship (WEC) since 2012 and won the Le Mans 24 hours 3 times in succession, the Audi R18 e-tron quattro evolved drastically every year; the latest 2015 model has also accomplished a great improvement in the field of aerodynamics as well as hybrid drive system, which consists of a V6 TDI engine and electric motor / generator, over the 2014 version. The V6 TDI develops a maximum power of around 410kW (558hp) and the output of the electric motor has been boosted to more than 200kW (272hp) from the start of this season. Special flywheel system stores energy recovered during braking and returns to the electrical system which drives the front-wheel in acceleration. Despite these mechanical complexities, Audi has achieved the minimum weight of only 870kg.

The Audi S1 is the sport version of the Audi A1 compact hatchback car, powered by 2.0-liter TFSI engine developing 170kW (231PS)/ 370Nm and fitted with quattro full-time 4WD system. All models employ 6-speed manual transmission. To cope with the boosted engine power, the chassis has been strengthened and the rear suspension upgraded to a multi (4)-link type for greater potentiality in handling performance. At the same time, along with the fitment of the S1-special 18-inch alloy wheels, the diameter of the brake discs has been enlarged for better braking performance. Other customizations as an Audi S-model in exterior include Single Frame Grille, bumpers, aluminum-finish side mirror housings, and exhaust system with 4 oval tail pipes. (photo:EU specification)

The newly-introduced high-end model of the A3 series, the RS 3 Sportback features a top-performance engine of the compact premium segment, 2.5 TFSI developing 270kW(367PS)/ 465Nm and with Audi’s traditional in-line 5-cylinder configuration. Equipped with 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, this compact high-performer accelerates from stand-still to 100km/h in just 4.3 seconds. Outstanding power of the award–winning 2.5 TFSI is transmitted to the road without any loss via quattro full-time 4WD system. Compared with the original A3 Sportback, the body is lowered by 25mm, the tracks widened by 25mm at the front and by 10mm at the rear, and the suspension strengthened. In addition, the appearance also has become much more dynamic with an extensive use of RS-special components including single-frame-grille and wheels.(photo:EU specification)

The Audi RS 6 Avant is one of the fastest stationwagon in the world, based on the Audi A6 Avant, and powered by 560PS 4.0-liter V8 TFSI (direct-injection bi-turbo) engine. The top-performance Avant features quattro full-time 4WD system, as well as a sport-differential at the rear axle for an excellent combination of traction and agility; on the other hand, Audi’s exclusive DRC (dynamic ride control) system minimizes excessive movements of the body in high-speed runs, thereby offering customers an exhilarating driving experience. All models are equipped with 8-speed Tiptronic automatic transmission and achieve a good fuel economy of 10.3km/liter (JC08). (photo:EU specification)
