Car manufactures have released cars with undered tuned power plants for years, cars like with factory turbo/supercharged engines are ideal subjects for tuning upgrades. Chris Harris takes a used S4 and performs a simple software upgrade to see how it compares with the Audi RS4.

So we are used to seeing crazy over the top commercials, stunts and gimmicks. Audi hits us with this simple yet effective commercial for the Audi R8 V10 plus which shows nothing more than the car strapped to the dyno but it sure is good

To test out their new RS4 Avant, Audi took two of their powerful vehicles to an empty military aircraft hangar and strapped paintball guns for the ultimate paintball duel. Someone needs to set up a car paintball league ASAP!

Watch DTM driver Timo Scheider put the Audi A1 through a gruelling drive, improvising in a construction site Timo sets up a makeshift gymkhana course. Decent video with great driving paired with awful music (please no more dubstep).

Another great Superbowl wrapped up this past Sunday and while I won’t ruin the results for anyone who missed it (close game!) here is a nice summary of car related commercials that were featured in the Superbowl this year. Please note I’m not from the USA so I didn’t actually see these commercials on air so let me know if I missed out on any! My favorite would have to be the Volkswagen one!

New details have emerged including an in-depth behind the scenes video of the slot car track created for Audi Canada I posted last October. This video follows David Beattle, owner of Slot Mods USA who was in charge of building the elaborate track for Audi. I especially enjoyed the in-depth look at the craftsmanship of every little piece of the track including the thought process behind it. The hidden Quattro in the shed was also a great “car aficionado” easter egg. View the original slot car video here.

Audi has quickly grown into the hottest brands in the car world with their distinctive vehicles and incredible branding. I feel that Audi’s branding is leaps and bounds over any other car brand out there and it shows in this “brand” video that gives viewers an overview about Audi.

Chris Harris takes a look at Audi’s new RS4, but to help his viewers understand what the new model had to compete with he looks at the older B5 and B7 model. Just like the earlier model, the B8 RS4 is powered by a powerful V8 engine. To put things in perspective Chris also reviews the king of mental estate cars the Mercedes Benz C63.
