We were a bit stunned to see images of the Audi A3 Sedan concept images posted to our forums today. I guess the old media embargo doesn’t have the same meaning that I thought it did. So here is the very first look at the Audi A3 sedan concept! It looks amazing and is going to be an exciting car as it was designed with the North American market in mind. It looks almost the exact same proportions as the B5 Audi A4/S4! We are a big fan and we can’t wait to publish the full details once they are released at 7:30AM CET (11:30PM PST). Stay tuned for more info and pics!

An innovative new product was unveiled during the APR distributor conference that everyone can be excited about; what will easily be one of the most powerful automotive apps in the world. APR has not yet provided a full press release, but they offered QuattroWorld an exclusive sneak peek. The product demonstration of the app through an iPhone showed multiple uses including the ability to change ECU programs, a virtual dyno, high speed data logging, fault code scanning, acceleration measurement, and much more.
This new diagnostic app is estimated to be released by Waterfest. It will initially be available for iPhone and iPad at launch, and will be expanded for availability on Android and Windows devices. What’s even more exciting? No cables…it will use Wifi for Apple products, and Bluetooth and/or Wifi for Android and Windows.
“Application development for mobile smart devices is certain to be the next evolution of automotive communication technology and APR is dedicated to fully integrating elegant solutions to further enhance the driving experience with the next generation of EMCS.” -Keith Lucas, APR Director of Sales and Marketing
We will be among the first to be given the opportunity to test this application out in beta mode and we will have an full, in depth review for you very soon!

I’m going to go ahead and file this one under “Ridiculous” and call this one of the most insane Audi’s I’ve ever seen. MTM raises the bar here once again and announces a 777hp V10 Twin Turbo Audi R8 just in time for the Geneva Auto Salon. And if 777HP and a 3.0 second 0-62 MPH wasn’t good enough they added a full polished aluminum finish to the car. I guarantee the Sultan of Brunei already has dibs on this one! We all know he has a soft spot for chrome Audis. Not to be forgotten is the 472HP TT RS as well! We will bring you more information and photos from Geneva! View the full MTM press release and high res photo gallery below!
