Audi A1 e-tron – electric driving in the city

March 2, 2010 - Courtesy of Audi AG

The new e-tron model series from Audi will gain another new member at the Geneva Motor Show: The Audi A1 e-tron is a Mega City Vehicle (MCV) with an innovative drive technology. It comes equipped with a powerful electric motor for zero-emission driving in the city. There is also an internal combustion engine on board that recharges the battery in exceptional circumstances. The A1 e-tron is very agile thanks to the 102PS peak power of its electric motor.

It's pretty incredible that even after more than two years of doing these articles we're still hitting firsts. It certainly speaks to the range and depth of the Audizine Community. And while this month's article does come a bit late (sorry about that) we weren't about to let it be the first time we skipped a month. No, this just happens to be the very first time we've had a repeat Featured AZ'er. Back in September of last year we spotlighted the other Audi in the stable of a one Paul Stansen (AKA: PESAPC), a B8 A4 2.0T Avant. At that time the plan was to feature Paul and his two cars in one article, but after seeing all of the work he'd done to them it became clear that they each deserved their own spotlight.

Review: 2010 Audi A5 2.0T quattro Cabriolet

March 8, 2010 - Words by Anthony Marino, Photos by Stéphane Vannier

I'd like to open this article with a bit of personal information: I had never ever considered owning a convertible before. Even nowadays I figured they were still a bit noisy or at least somewhat less stiff or weather resistant than their hardtop counterparts - but then I had the great pleasure of using one of Audi's newest soft-tops for a week. In that time I often found myself forgetting that I was driving a convertible at all, and this was all during one of the wettest weeks we've had here in Northern California in quite awhile. There were only two days out of seven that I was able to put the top down and enjoy all of the perks that the 2010 Audi A5 Cabriolet had to offer. It was during those other five days though that I discovered what makes the car worth the nearly 7-grand over its Coupe counterpart. I'd always thought you were simply paying extra for a car that was only fun on sunny days, and well, I was wrong.   Full Story
