Watch out!the R4 is coming…

In the past Porsche Cayman ruled the streets but it seems that starting with 2011 there’ll be a new kid on the block:a supercar from Audi,the R4.

The two- seater will come both as a coupe and a roadster and just like its big brother,the R8,will have an agressive look and a brand new platform.Design wise,the R4 will resemble the A1 Metroproject concept and the R8.The chassis will be made of steel,not exactely space age,but the engineers promised a combined weight under 1300 kg.

The engines will also be worthy of our atention:an improved version of the well known 2.0 TFSI and a top of the range 300 HP monster.

You might be inclined to assume that the Porsche Boxster and Cayman will be the R4’s closest competitors but I think that BMW’s M division and Mercedes’ AMG will run a tighter race.

Autobild unveils Audi Q5

It seems that the guys from Autobild published what looks to be the new Audi Q5 in all its glory. We’re not sure that those are the official images from Audi or clever photoshops but the the proportions and details seems to be ok.

The front end is an interesting amalgamation of the Audi A4 and the Q7 fascias while the rear light arrangement is something that reminds us from Audi’s show vehicles, where Cross Cabriolet Concept is also included. If you are interested in the details yoou’ll have to wait for Geneva Auto Show in March, where the Q5 will be officially unveiled.

A shy baby Rolls

Who invented the phrase”bigger is better” knew what he was saying.Let’s take for instance the new baby Rolls.Scheduled for 2010 this car shares the chassis and most of the technology with the 7 Series.But the prices will be „different”.Most experts say that the baby Rolls will set you back between 150.000 and 200.000 USD.

From the engine point of view I would like to take a peek at the new diesel Rolls Royce will put under this car’s hood.

So I think bigger is better because nowone will buy this car even though it’s a Rolls.Size matters and if you are willing to spend a lot of money on a car you’ll make sure it’s the biggest car your money can buy.

I’m sorry but these spy photos are all that I can show you for the moment.

PPI is on the right track

First of all,I must say that I don’t see the point of a car like the Q7.Second,I wouldn’t buy a Q7,X5 or Cayenne to save my life.That being sayd,I admit that PPI did an awesome job.I mean look at that body kit!The front and rear spoiler,the rear difusor and the wheel flared arches give the car an agressive look never seen before on a Q7.Audi better get working on a sporty version of their SUV because it’s obvoius that people need a little more attitude.

The width has been increased with 100 mm and the 4 exhaust tips make you forget that you drive an SUV.PPI can increase the power with 46 more HP but I think that you might want to wait for the supercharged 4,2 litre V8 engine that will put aut 600 HP.

All in all a big improvement.Let’s hope that PPI will kep on transforming dull SUVs into fire breathing monsters.
