Audi is talking about rugged vehicles again. Not launching one. Not confirming one, just talking about one. The conversation resurfaced roughly a year after the Q6 Sportback e-Tron Off-Road Concept appeared. During a recent discussion, Audi CEO Gernot Döllner spoke about areas where the brand still sees room to grow. Sports cars entered the discussion. So did SUVs aimed at...
Audi stopped building the R8 in 2024. No replacement arrived alongside its departure. For a while, the assumption seemed straightforward. The company's supercar chapter had reached its final page. Then came a conversation in Austria. During the presentation of the new Audi RS5, journalists asked Audi chief executive Gernot Döllner about V8 engines and their place within the brand's future...
Audi Sport still works on the next RS 6 generation, and the waiting game has already started. Sedan and Avant versions are reportedly on the roadmap as the company prepares another fight with the BMW M5 lineup, including the Touring. Yet the current model refuses to fade quietly into the background. Cars like this orange example explain why. Audi RS...
ABT has wrapped up its Legacy trilogy with a limited-run version of the RSQ8. Called the ABT RSQ8 Legacy Edition, the high-performance SUV enters production with a cap of 125 vehicles worldwide. Each one carries “1 of 125” details across several areas of the cabin and bodywork. Under the hood sits a 4.0-liter V8 Biturbo engine. Output climbs to 760...
Red paint and oversized arches pull most of the attention first. Then your eyes move toward the ride height. This first-generation Audi R8 barely clears the pavement, and the stance changes the entire shape of the car. Audi stopped building the R8, though projects like this still keep the original model in circulation among tuning shops and social media pages....
Audi has not closed the book on the R8. Even so, the German brand made one thing clear: another generation would need strong financial logic behind the project, along with a different type of powertrain than before. The last R8 left production two years ago. Since then, Audi approved the fully electric Concept C for production, scheduled for next year....
Audi changed direction with the newest S6 generation. The familiar performance sedan no longer exists with a combustion engine, as the S6 designation now belongs to the battery-electric version carrying the e-tron name. ABT Sportsline decided there was still room for something aimed at drivers who preferred the older recipe. Its latest project focuses on the plug-in-hybrid Audi A6. After...
Audi Tradition has finished a modern recreation of one of Auto Union’s strangest racing cars from the pre-war years. The project carries the name Lucca and traces back to a land-speed machine from 1935, built during the fierce rivalry between Auto Union and Mercedes’ Silver Arrows era. Back then, speed records looked different. Public roads still hosted top-speed attempts, and...
For many drivers, this version already hits the right balance, and projects like this one reinforce the idea that the RS6 will remain one of the tuner`s preferred models for power modifications. This particular car from the photos comes from ABT Sportsline. The tuner did not go for a radical redesign. Instead, the work stays focused. Small visual tweaks, more...
Audi Sport has found an unexpected source of demand. Private buyers are lining up for former factory race machines, and the restoration department now works through a growing queue because delivery capacity no longer matches incoming orders. The project runs under the Audi Sport racing legends name. Each vehicle goes through a full return-to-factory process before handover. Rolf Michl, Managing...
ABT built the XGT around the Audi R8 LMS GT2 and fixed production at 99 cars. Two development years stand behind the project, together with Scherer Sport, after work aimed at moving race-focused engineering onto public roads under road approval rules. ABT describes the core idea with one short line, "From the racetrack to the road". A naturally aspirated 5.2-liter...
RevoZport returns with another visual package, this time built around the Audi RS Q8. The Hong Kong tuner names the conversion Street Body Kit and applies a full set of carbon-fiber exterior parts to Audi’s high-output sport utility vehicle. The project appears in a copper-brown finish with black contrast surfaces, exposed composite trim, and red brake calipers behind aftermarket wheels....
ABT has prepared a new RS3-R around the Audi RS3 facelift and fixed production at 125 cars, offered in Saloon and Sportback form.

Forged HR20 wheels from the ABT HIGH PERFORMANCE line...
