More than just cars, more than just performance. Audi is about the nature of perception, determining how people will respond to and interact with innovative design. It’s about applied physics, how things glide through the air and overcome inertia through the application of power, acceleration and exhilaration.1 It’s about artistry, and the way materials elicit a tactile response and provoke an emotional response.

At its best, it is a dynamic example of what humans can create when they are vested in creating something better and bolder. So Audi is not just about cars. But then again, of course, it’s also about cars.

Excessive luxury is not our goal. But we feel that luxury doesn’t mean “more,” it means “proper.” Proper design, proper ﬁt, proper precision—what Audi thinks of as design purity. Our engineers and designers know that a baroque clock won’t tell time any better than a streamlined one, and all the distractions that surround it actually detract from the purpose of the clock itself. Unless, of course, the purpose is just to be noticed, instead of used to its greatest

potential. We think the real purpose of design is simplicity, elegantly rendered. We think you’ll see and feel that concept throughout our Audi models. In the clean design lines of the exterior, the streamlined dash, and Audi MMI® interface. In our intuitive available Audi connect®,1 the seamless ﬁt and ﬁnish of our materials and the unmistakable look of our Audi Singleframe® grille.2 They all work in concert for a pure aesthetic of timeless taste and precision.

our reputation hinges on the quality of things you don’t see.

Award-winning design

When Audi engineers set out to build the perfect door, they had one very important goal—lighten the load. By using fully pressed aluminum doors, the weight of the Audi A6 door structure was reduced by an astonishing 44 lb, compared to the previous model. This feat, combined with the strength of its door hinges and ability to retain all of its mechanical, safety and infotainment features, is why it won the Doors and Closures Innovation Award.

It’s said that when one door closes, another one opens. It sounds as if whoever said it spent some time at an Audi research and development facility. After all, while you’ll open and close the door on your Audi thousands of times without thinking about it, we’ve obsessed about it for you, in detail. Not just about the reliability of it opening and closing, obviously, but on the proper weight that will make it more pleasing to close. What it should sound like when it is shut. How the locks should click when they are engaged. The opti-

hinges too, of course. And the door itself, which is designed to take the brunt of side-collision impacts, along with several dozen other considerations that we take into account when designing our doors (to say nothing of the countless other components, processors, sensors, features and the inner workings most people will never see). Our doors are more than a symbol of welcoming you into your vehicle, they are products of Audi engineering, and our reputation hinges on them as much as our hinges help support the door.

mal acoustic placement for the speaker port. There are the

1 Doors and Closures Innovation Award 2011, Automotive Circle International. The award is annually bestowed by Automotive Circle International for the most innovative door or closure development in automobile series production.

Acoustic enhancements

We spend countless hours listening, so you don’t have to. By using soft-mounts on our window regulator, or a sound absorber backing within the door cavity itself, as well as a simple foam liner on our door-release cable, Audi engineers have nearly eliminated all of the ambient noise associated with other less-than- acute manufacturing practices.

Speaker placement and enclosure

We work with our partners to select optimal placement of our speakers, a vital aspect of our door design, in order to deliver the most engaging and extraordinary sound you can ﬁnd in the automotive space. Woofers use a specialized lightweight and ported enclosure to ensure optimum low-frequency reproduction.

Torque vectoring

You’ll ﬁnd truth in your corner. Torque vectoring is a handling feature so advanced that it seems to respond to your impulses even before you turn the steering wheel. An evolution of cross-axle lock, this system works within the Audi quattro® all-wheel drive system while utilizing Electronic Stability Control (ESC) and the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) to help sense reduced load or wheel-spin on the inside cornering tire, helping to make turns smoother and more responsive.

As you can see, we’ve always felt that the best ideas are the ones that stick. And nowhere is that more true than with Audi quattro® all-wheel drive. Since 1980, we’ve been stuck on articulating an expanding vision of what progressive all-wheel drive technology can deliver. We didn’t simply look at it as something to use in poor conditions, but rather as a perfor-

mance technology that’s built to handle roads from the Alps to the autobahn—and points beyond. You’ve seen quattro® capabilities in the way we dominated the World Rally Cham-

and in the variable rear-wheel-biased power you enjoy in good conditions.1 For more than 30 years and with ﬁve million quattro® systems installed in Audi vehicles, we have continued to reﬁne the technology, developing a rear sport dierential to help maximize performance, and torque vectoring to assist with cornering traction while helping to improve handling.2 We boldly stuck to what worked while the world was trying to catch up, and we built on our vision by adding to a gripping heritage of Audi Sport® performance.

power is measured by strength, not size.

It’s perfectly ﬁne for us to admit that other engines have more cylinders, have more horsepower and have larger displacements. It’s just that we’ve made our engines lighter and more ecient than others, to optimize what we call power density.1 Because anyone who has driven an Audi knows unmistakable power when they feel it. It means strength that pulses with torque at the moment of acceleration, provides a true, quick response as you change lanes, and turns the most routine cloverleaf into a joyful application of performance

handling. Sure, we love hitting the throttle and feeling the thrust of acceleration,2 but we also want our drivers to experience the balance and precision of Audi engineering. From the A3 to our track-bred line of Audi performance cars, we are in the business of engineering emotion using more compact engines that concentrate power, while using less weight to your advantage, helping improve handling to the point where others just feel heavy.

TDI®

A turbocharged, fuel-sipping variant, our TDI® clean diesel engine delivers uncompromising Audi performance with bold eciency. it gets better mileage per gallon than comparable gasoline engines, but it also produces more low-end torque, which is best expressed in the elasticity you have when passing in the 30- to 60-mph range.

FSI®

The Audi FSI direct injection fuel management and delivery system directly injects fuel

into the combustion chambers at precisely managed times and depths. What that means for drivers is that a fully homogenized intake charge helps increase power while also reducing fuel consumption and emissions, making eciency more powerful.

TFSI®

At Audi, TFSI represents a combination of two of the brand’s core areas of expertise—direct injection and forced induction. By adding forced induction (turbocharging or supercharging) to Audi FSI direct injection, the pressurized intake charge is cooled by directly injected fuel, thus achieving eciency and performance combined with higher compression ratios—previously only attainable by naturally aspirated engines.

Elephant skull

How nature solved the apparent conundrum of an elephant’s skull didn’t escape the notice of Heinrich Timm, the longtime lead engineer for Audi. The weight of the tusks and the general size of an elephant’s head would seem to make it impossible for the animal to actually be able to carry it. But the design genius behind the elephant’s skull is actually to make it lightweight, yet sturdy. Its predominantly hollow design is buered by thin, connective bone walls, which act as strong, weight-bearing cells. Audi designers used that idea when building our aluminum and steel structures. Reducing weight, yet enabling strength.

Aluminum

Our large aluminum castings are a telling example of Audi ultra® lightweight technology. Primarily used in high-stress areas, these multifunctional castings achieve exceptional rigidity while also allowing for freedom of design, all while remaining extremely lightweight.

It’s Audi because

the elegant structure of nature becomes a blueprint of eciency.

It seems strange to say that, while we build strong, complex and high-performing machines, we’re naturalists at heart. Then again, it might not be that unusual, seeing how nature itself builds strong, complex and highperforming machines as well. When we developed the thinking behind our Audi ultra® lightweight technology initiative, we knew that nature would serve as an inspiration to greater structural eciency. Take the structure of the elephant skull pictured here. It has to be lightweight, yet capable of carrying a heavy load. It’s porous, but its structure is such that it enhances its stability and

strength. We do the same, for example, with aluminum. Positioned one way, aluminum materials can be ﬂexible. Positioned another, they are strong and rigid, and give better support. We also looked to bamboo, which is strong at the conjoined areas (nodes), and ﬂexible along its stem. Our designs allow for both rigidity and ﬂexibility where each is most needed, and for eciency overall.2 As we continue to develop strategies to improve the performance aspects and eciency of our vehicles, we don’t shy away from the world around us.2 We boldly engage it even closer still.

There is an old school of thought in the automotive world that bigger is better. More horsepower, greater displacement—these were once the hallmark of the industry. Audi, on the other hand, progressed past this antiquated notion of engine design and adopted a system that reﬁnes the driving experience. By utilizing lightweight turbocharged engines, we solved two problems at the same time: greater eciency and more power than was produced by previous engines.1 And since lighter vehicles breed better performance, the result is an exhilarating driving experience at every turn.

The adage “good things come in small packages” has never been more true.

Induction-technology turbocharger

Compressing the airﬂow to the engine allows more air into the cylinder and, ultimately, more power from each combustion cycle, signiﬁcantly improving the engine’s powerto-displacement ratio.

exhaust in

Exhaust from the engine spins the turbine that is connected by a shaft to a compressor that pressurizes air. The compres- sor forces this pressurized air into the cylinders at boosted pressures up to 17.4 psi, thus producing more power from a smaller displacement engine.

Driving to the tune you choose.

The Audi allroad oers an eight-speed Tiptronic® automatic transmission that precisely transmits the power produced by the 2.0-liter TFSI® engine. With its wide gear ratios for smooth shifting, it doesn’t matter which gear you’re in, you can count on seamless power delivery. Available steering wheel-mounted shift paddles let you shift up or down with minimal eort, while giving you the control that performance drivers crave. A shift has been made in your favor. What you do with it is your choice.

We shed light on your blind spots.

With a suite of available driver assist options, we strive to constantly up the ante on driver convenience. Available Audi side assist helps inform you of other vehicles in the lanes next to you, while available Audi adaptive cruise control helps monitor the distance between you and the vehicle ahead, and adjusts your speed appropriately to keep you moving smoothly. There are also the simple things, like parking system plus, which adds a rear view camera and rear acoustic parking sensors to help ease you into that spot. It’s another testament to the eort that Audi puts into helping ensure that you’re not the only one keeping an eye on the road.

Driver Assist

We’re solving problems before you even know you have them.

Audi adaptive cruise control

Everyone has their own comfort zone. The available Audi adaptive cruise control helps maintain a driver-selected distance from the vehicle in front by using a special longrange radar sensor. The system constantly measures the space between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead and helps maintain it by automatically adjusting your speed. Once the road ahead is clear, the vehicle eortlessly resumes the previously preset speed, helping to make your drive that much more relaxing.

Audi side assist

The available Audi side assist uses radar sensors and two dierent optical warnings to help keep the driver informed about what is approaching from hard-to-see angles behind and to the side of the vehicle.

Car consciousness.

Information Provided by:

We believe intelligence is key to a higher form of luxury. You can see this philosophy fully represented in the available Audi MMI® system. Simply put, it’s an intuitive system that intimately connects you to almost every facet of the vehicle. It’s the nerve center of your vehicle, allowing you to control virtually every interior function of your Audi with a simpliﬁed source control button system. From the Audi MMI Navigation plus, to the sound system, to media, MMI helps you access information with a few easy clicks. And even without it, you can pair your compatible phone with the vehicle for added convenience. With this kind of brainpower onboard, you can leave the little stu to us, and just concentrate on how good it feels to drive.

Don’t reach—relax. While touchscreens are seemingly everywhere, they don’t need to be in your vehicle. With available Audi connect®, you may never have to reach out again.1 Thanks to Google Voice™ Local Search, Audi connect allows you to search Google™ by simple voice commands. The crisp display is nestled farther up, closer to the windshield, so your eyes don’t have to focus and refocus between the screen and the road ahead of you. For those times when you are feeling tactile, we’ve placed toggle buttons near the gear shifter, where your hand naturally rests while you drive. So while other automobile manufacturers still want you to reach out, we’ve found a few ways for you to make information a lot more accessible while your hands are on the wheel.

Sound

Information Provided by:

Audi is Latin for “listen,” so you know we take sound very seriously.

When even a German lullaby

is an ode to sound engineering.

It would be an interesting challenge, a note-perfect Brahms’ Lullaby delivered through the tuned speakers of an Audi concert radio system versus the exhilaration of the passing lane. Either way, performance wins. But it goes way beyond the gentle tones of a German composer. Audi sound engineers don’t simply make the cabin acoustics sound perfect for your music, they make the drivetrain sing. Or, if not sing, then put it in harmony with every other element of the driving experience. From the sound of a shutting door, to the click of a turning knob, to the full integration of an available Bang & Olufsen® Sound System, there’s an orchestra of engineering that ﬁlls your cabin with faithfully rendered, thrilling sound. Whatever it is you are looking for, Audi sculpts sounds in a way that matches your mood, even when you need soothing while in trac.

Bang & Olufsen® Sound System

Dedicated to the idea of “honest music reproduction,” Bang & Olufsen® is a sound engineer’s dream. Through an available 505-watt, 14-speaker system perfectly integrated within your Audi, Bang & Olufsen® is set on transcending the limits of audio technology. By automatically adjusting volume and timbre balance to changing ambient noise levels, and oering richly tuned acoustics, you’ll hear the truth about how good life can sound in your Audi.

14 speakers

Optimized sound ﬂows through strategically placed speakers around the cabin. Hear it, and you’ll instant- ly become engrossed in the tiniest detail and warmth of the sound.

LED taillight technology

Information Provided by:

Sleek and stylish, these rear light-emitting diodes are brighter and longer-lasting than conventional bulbs, and also illuminate faster than traditional brake lights, which can help give the driver behind you more time to respond.

A brilliant indication you

allroad

are on the right trail.

Distinct and brilliant, available LED taillight technology will be the ﬁrst indication to other outdoor enthusiasts that they are ﬁnally headed in the right direction. And, as if that were not enough to hurt their map-reading egos, the mesmerizing design of the Audi allroad® comes to an irresistible climax around two perfectly sculpted exhaust tips, invoking jealously to go along with the steady stream of profanity issuing, perhaps, from those who are less directionally inclined. At least you’ll give them a lot to think about while they try to keep up with you.

1 Tires are supplied and warranted by their manufacturer. High-performance tires are designed for optimum performance and handling in warm climates. They are not suitable for cold, snowy or icy weather conditions. If you drive under those circumstances, you should equip your vehicle with all-season or winter tires, which oer better traction under those conditions. We suggest you use the recommended winter or all-season tire speciﬁed for your car or its equivalent. These highperformance tires also have a lower aspect ratio that aids performance and handling; however, in order to avoid tire, rim or vehicle damage, it is important that the inﬂation pressure is regularly checked and maintained at optimum levels. Please also remember in making your selection that, while these tires deliver responsive handling, they may ride less comfortably and make more noise than other choices. Finally, these tires may wear more quickly than other choices. 2 Decorative inlay options will vary based on model and interior color combination. See your dealer for details.
