Australian music star Dianna Corcoran shoots “Wrong Girl” music video at Audi Dealership

There have been a growing number of musicians that have featured Audis in their music videos. We just found another one, and this, it is Australian sensation Dianna Corcoran. She takes it to the next level by shooting the entire music video at Audi Centre Sydney. Dianna is a pop-country star down under, and after watching this video we can certainly see why. Oh, and her music is pretty good too. While we know this video is from last year, we felt it worthy enough of a post! Enjoy it…

Audi R8 featured in Portugal pop star video

Portugal pop star, Diego Miranda, released a new music video for his new single “Speed” featuring Vanessa yesterday. The video features an Audi R8 which is used as a main part of the video and is shown throughout including some nice driving scenes complete with some nice exhaust sounds. The video feautres a simple plot where the main subject (Played by Vanessa) uses the R8 to smuggle diamonds. I can’t say I blame her, if I was looking for a fast getaway car, the R8 would certainly be at the top of my list. Anyways, enjoy the footage of the R8! I can’t say much for the music itself… Also at the end of the video an Audi A6 appears as one of the “police” vehicles. It almost makes you wonder if Audi was involved in this shoot somehow?

Lightweight design for winter sports: the Audi Carbon Ski

The technology transfer from the concept study to the serial-production Audi Carbon Ski was crucial throughout all of the developmental phases. A cab of high-strength carbon fiber encloses layers of aluminum and titanium, as well as a wood core. At 1,550 grams (with a ski length of 170 cm), the ski will be about 200 grams lighter than comparable models. This allows it to be incredibly maneuverable and agile.

The carbon allows the engineers to achieve optimal stiffness while also minimizing torsion, which is the twisting of the ski along its longitudinal axis. Outstanding strength, good dampening and low weight make the Audi Carbon Ski a carving ski that fully lives up to the Audi philosophy of “Vorsprung durch Technik.”
