Posted by Edo Suseno Rabu, 26 September 2012 0 komentar
Audi Tipe A6 2.0 TFSI Model Terbaru - Audi menampilkan teknologi dan desain terbaru dari mobil yang dipamerkan. Hal tersebut tercermin dari salah satu model Audi A6 2.0 TFSI yang mengusung mesin terbaru yang lebih efisien.

PT Garuda Mataram Motor sebagai agen pemegang merek (APM) Audi di Indonesia dalam kesempatan IIMS kali ini meluncurkan model Audi A6 2.0 TFSI.
"Mobil sedan premium Audi yang paling canggih di kelas eksekutif kini tampil dengan mesin terbarunya berkapasitas lebih kecil dan lebih efisien," kata Andrew Nasuri, CEO PT Garuda Mataram Motor saat peluncuran Audi A6 2.0 TFSI, Kamis (20/9/2012).

Audi ingin menunjukkan komitmennya mendukung industri otomotif di Indonesia. Pameran otomotif ini menjadi ajang bagi Audi untuk menunjukkan kepada publik model-model terbaru Audi di dunia, inovasi teknologi dan desain Audi yang telah menjadi trendsetter di dunia serta upayanya untuk mempertahankan mobilitas sambil tetap menjaga lingkungan.

Lebih lanjut Andrew menjelaskan, jenis mesin terbaru yang disematkan pada Audi A6 tersebut akan melengkapi jajaran model Audi A6 sebelumnya yang telah sukses hadir di Indonesia semenjak tahun 2007.
Audi A6 2.0 TFSI tampil dengan mesin yang lebih kecil tanpa mengorbankan kemampuan performanya serta kerja mesin lebih halus dan pemakaian bahan bakar yang lebih irit. Mengusung teknologi bensin yang canggih, mesin empat silinder terbaru ini mampu menyemburkan tenaga sebesar 180 tenaga kuda (horse power/hp) pada rentang 4.000 - 6.000 rpm. Untuk torsinya sendiri sangat berlimpah yaitu 320 NM pada rentang 1.500 - 3.900 rpm.

Kemampuan akselerasi dari 0-100 km perjam dapat dicapai dalam waktu 8.3 detik dan kecepatan maksimum mampu mencapai 226 km per jam. Dengan performa yang sangat memukau tersebut dalam waktu yang bersamaan konsumsi bensin hanya berkisar 6.4 km per liter kombinasi pemakaian antara perkotaan dan jalan bebas hambatan.

Mesin tersebut dioperasikan secara elektronik dengan teknologi transmisi delapan percepatan otomatis continuously variable multitronic terbaru untuk mengatur tenaga dan torsinya yang besar serta membuat pengendara mampu mengalihkan tenaga mesin menjadi tenaga sesungguhnya di jalan raya dengan tingkat efisiensi yang maksimum.

Mesin dan transmisi dioperasikan dan dihubungkan oleh sistem pengaturan elektronik yang memastikan untuk performa yang optimal dan ekonomis dengan emisi gas buang yang rendah (memenuhi standar emisi EURO II).

Dalam rangka tema IIMS kali ini, ECO Mobility, Audi menampilkan juga beberapa inovasi teknologi terkini yang mendukung penurunan emisi gas buang dan CO2 yaitu teknologi konstruksi bahan ringan alumunium yang inovatif serta teknologi mesin TFSI. Teknologi ini telah diaplikasikan dalam semua rangkaian model-model yang dipamerkan.

“Kami gembira dapat berpartisipasi di Indonesia International Motor Show tahun ini. Kami yakin apa yang kami tampilkan kepada publik dan konsumen akan menciptakan persepsi yang positif terhadap Audi. Tidak hanya sebagai salah satu pemain utama di segmen mobil premium tapi juga merek yang bertanggung jawab dan dikagumi serta berkomitmen penuh terhadap pelestarian lingkungan hidup," ujar Andrew.
Selain itu, Audi juga memperhatikan kepuasaaan konsumen. "Kepuasan konsumen adalah tujuan utama kami," ujar Andrew.

Audi Indonesia memiliki komitmen untuk memberikan layanan purna jual terbaik bagi mereka. Seluruh pemilik Audi akan mendapatkan layanan Audi Extended Warranty dan Free Service selama 3 tahun atau 90.000 km (jasa dan suku cadang) di diler-diler Audi. Hal ini bertujuan memberikan rasa tenteram dan nyaman yang personal bagi semua pemilik Audi.

All-New Audi RS Q3 - Welcome to the Audi RS Q3 concept

Posted by Edo Suseno Jumat, 20 April 2012 0 komentar
All-New Audi RS Q3 - Welcome to the Audi RS Q3 concept - We’re big fans of the Audi RS cars here at Top Gear, but this one, the new Q3 RS concept? We have a few questions... The TTRS aside — from where this red hot Q3 takes its old-school blown five-pot — RS cars have always had a whiff of the Group B Quattros to them. It’s their shtick; M-cars have that DTM vibe, AMG’s have that racing-in-the-street muscle-car thing going on, but RS cars have always made our minds drift to Walter Rohrl or Stig Blomqvist. And occasionally Michelle Mouton, if we’re in the mood.

Audi RS Q3 concept

But an RS Q3? It’s still officially a 'concept’, and makes its world debut this week at the Beijing Motor Show that is about to dominate these channels. It is a Q3 with the 2.5-litre Direct Injection in-line five from the TTRS Plus and, albeit with a little less oomph, the RS3 Sportback. Neither of them our absolute favourite RS cars. 360bhp means 60mph in 5.2secs, with all the trick diffs doing their thing via Quattro four wheel drive, and a top speed a smidge over 164mph.



It also looks pretty trick, running an inch lower on its 20 inch rims and all the usual RS bits and bobs, but is a Q3 really the right car for the RS treatment? Let us know your thoughts below. It does, however, make us wonder whether red-hot SUVs are going to be the thing of the next few years.
Think about it. VW group has already said its Porsche Macan SUV, little brother to the Cayenne and based on the next-gen Audi Q5, will come with an optional 370bhp 3.0-litre V6 when it arrives next year. Meanwhile the Cayenne itself, grand-daddio of crazy-fast SUVs, is to get a ‘GTS’ model with 420bhp and a bag-load of chassis tweaks, electronic and otherwise, to add some finesses to the 500bhp Turbo’s grunt.
And there’s more. Don’t forget that Bentley. Yeah it was BIG, but it was also fast. And now there are also strong rumours that Lamborghini is on the verge of making public its plans to join the super-SUV league...
And with Jaguar saying its SUV won’t be a Range Rover rival, but more likely something like the Macan and the other VW fast-x-fours, we reckon this is a proper trend and so will need a name. Super Sports Utility Vehicles anyone? What shall we call them? SSUVs? Any better ideas?

Spied: Audi Takes MQB-Based TT Mule Out for Testing

Spied: Audi Takes MQB-Based TT Mule Out for Testing - It will interesting to see what Audi's designers have in store for us with the upcoming, third generation TT sports car series, and with that we mean if they're going to reheat the same old styling dish or if we should expect something radically new.

For the time being, however, our scoop photographers nabbed an early test mule being driven around Europe for evaluation purposes.

Hiding underneath the modified body of the current model is the VW Group's brand new and widely advertised, MQB transverse platform architecture. The same chassis debuted on the new A2012 Audi A3 hatchback, while it will also form the base for a great number of future VW Group models.

Audi Giving Consumers the Chance to get Behind the Wheel of an R8 for a Day

Audi Giving Consumers the Chance to get Behind the Wheel of an R8 for a Day - Have you ever tried to sit in a Ferrari at an auto show? Sure you tried but did you actually manage to get pass the protective ropes surrounding Maranello's creations? Unless you make close to seven figures a year, the answer is probably no.

On the other hand, Germany's premium automakers have a much more lax approach to consumers even if most cannot afford to buy their top sports car offerings. And all for good reason as being able to dream about it pays off for the brand and its name in the long run.

Audi A5 Sportback Review

Posted by Edo Suseno Sabtu, 17 Maret 2012 0 komentar

Audi A5 Sportback (2010) 
Audi A5 Sportback Review - Audi is presenting a new vehicle concept - the Audi A5 Sportback. The five-door model with the long, flowing rear end unites the best of various vehicle genres: the emotion and elegance of a coupe, the comfort of a sedan and the practicality of a station wagon. The Sportback joins the Audi A5 Coupé and Cabriolet as the third member of the Audi A5 model family.

The Audi A5 Sportback will be rolling into Audi dealerships in September 2009 featuring an emotion-packed design, high everyday practicality, a sporty character and engines that are as efficient as they are powerful. Sales have already begun, with prices starting at 33,650 euros. A further, specially-priced model to follow in 2010 will make the Audi A5 Sportback the entry-level model in the A5 model series.

Audi, the inventor of the Avant, is setting new trends in design with the Audi A5 Sportback. The five-door coupe is defined by elegant lines. It is 36 millimeters (1.42 in) lower than the Audi A4 Sedan; with its short front overhang, long wheelbase, wide track and the four frameless doors with their slender window lines, it is the very picture of sporty elegance.

The interior is spacious, offering uncompromising comfort in all four seats. The large luggage compartment hatch is harmoniously integrated into the long, tapered tail end with the flat C pillars; the spoiler lip underscores the tension-filled character. The luggage compartment volume of 480 liters (16.95 cu ft) nearly matches that of the Audi A4 Avant and increases to 980 liters (34.61 cu ft) with the rear seats folded down.

Audi A5 Sportback: the prices at launch (Germany)

2.0 TDI with 6-speed manual transmission - 36,050 euros
2.7 TDI with 6-speed manual transmission - 39,300 euros
3.0 TDI quattro with 7-speed S tronic - 47,950 euros
2.0 TFSI (132 kW / 180 hp) with 6-speed manual transmission - 33,650 euros
2.0 TFSI (155 kW / 211 hp) quattro with 7-speed S tronic - 42,150 euros
3.2 FSI quattro with S tronic - 47,000 euros

2012 Audi S6, S7, and S8 Review

Posted by Edo Suseno Jumat, 09 Desember 2011 0 komentar

2012 Audi S6, S7, and S8 Review - In the past year, Audi has introduced all-new versions of its flagship A8 and midsize A6 sedans, as well as slotting the stylish A7 Sportback between the two. Ingolstadt is ready to crank up the trio's sportiness with the debut of the 2012 Audi S6, S7, and S8, which debut at this year's Frankfurt Motor Show.

S models continue to pack more power than their standard counterparts, but don't expect massive ten-cylinder engines to fill the engine compartment. All three model lines now use a new twin-turbocharged, direct-injection 4.0-liter V-8, albeit in two different forms. For the 2012 Audi S6 and S7, the engine is tuned to produce 420 hp and 406 lb-ft, which is on par with the outgoing 5.2-liter V-10. Mated with a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, the S6 should move from 0-62 mph in 4.8 seconds, and the S7 in 4.9. Top speed is electronically limited to 155 mph, but more impressively, fuel economy will purportedly come in at a combined 24 mpg during EPA testing.

The 2012 Audi S8 uses the same engine, but adds a bit more power. Audi rates the 4.0 TFSI at 520 hp and 479 lb-ft of torque in S8 guise. A sprint to 62 mph takes only 4.2 seconds and the 4.0 TFSI will carry the S8 to an electronically limited 155 mph top speed. The transmission is a modified version of the eight-speed automatic found is the base A8. Thanks in part to the smaller engine and two extra gear ratios, Audi expects the S8 to average 23 mpg, embarrassing the old V-10's 13/19 mpg ratings.

All three of the 2012 Audi S models utilize "cylinder on demand" technology that shuts down four of the eight cylinders during highway driving to help save fuel. The S8 also pairs the cylinder deactivation with a start-stop system, which will shuts down the engine once the car comes to a stop. In the S6, an Active Noise Cancellation system (ANC) broadcasts an anti-phase sound into the cabin to decrease any intrusive sounds during four-cylinder cruising. We're more interested in the exhaust flaps that produce more impressive sound under heavy acceleration.

The S6, S7, and S8 also all use Audi's Quattro all-wheel drive system with a self-locking center differential and four-wheel torque vectoring system. A sport-tuned adaptive air suspension is standard, as are vented disc brakes with matte-black calipers. Carbon-ceramic discs -- identified by anthracite-colored calipers -- are optional and shave 11 lbs.

The usual raft of subtle S model upgrades grace the exteriors and interiors of the 2012 Audi S6, S7, and S8. Aluminum brightwork adorns the front and rear fascias, door handles, and window surrounds, and is complemented silver mirror caps and chrome-covered horizontal grille bars. Standard wheels on the S6 and S7 are five-spoke 19-inch aluminum alloys, with seven optional designs ranging in size from 19 to 20 inches. A platinum grey rear diffuser with a two-layer aluminum finish sits between two sets of twin oval exhaust tips on each car. The 2012 Audi S8 wears standard 20-inch wheels, but offers another 20-inch and three 21-inch designs as options. S badges grace the grilles and tailgates of all the cars, while front fenders are adorned with V8T badges.

Inside, S-specific grey dials with white needles sit behind a multifunction sport steering wheel on each of the cars, which include aluminum shift paddles. The rest of the cabin is decorated in brushed aluminum trim - carbon fiber; matte, fine grain ash brown wood, or layered Beaufort oak are optional - and pearl nappa leather is standard, mixed with alcantara in the S6 and S7 and quilted leather upholstery in the S8. Sport seats have been designed specifically for the new models. A red LED ring outlines the engine start button on all three cars to further emphasize the sporting nature of the new S6, S7, and S8.
We'll bring back more information on all three cars during our live coverage of the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show.
