VIDEO: Audi RS5 Meets Up with the Ur-Quattro

We’re big fans of Audis here at CarThrottle, especially the ones that go fast! The new Audi RS5, introduced at the Geneva Auto Show, definitely falls into that category.

GAH! My eyes! MY EYES!!! Why do people do this? Why do they try to make one car, look like a different car? And doing to a car like the A5, that makes no sense. The A5, although not to everyone’s tastes, is a pretty good looking car and quite handsome as it sits. If [...]

Interesting Find: Benero Coachbuilt Audi A5

Here at CarThrottle, we like to put the spotlight on unique creations every once in a while. I particularly love seeing the creativity of small, independent automakers and coachbuilders.

Official: 2010 Audi A5 Sportback Unveiled!

Mach schnell!” At least, that’s sorta how I see the conversation that lead to the creation of the A5 Sportback going. What other explanation is there for such meaningless niche-stuffing drivel?
