Audi do Brasil, the NGO Litro de Luz and the Audi Environmental Foundation concluded another edition of the partnership that brings sustainable lighting to communities without permanent access to electricity.

In total, 199 clean energy solutions were provided, including solar-powered street lamps and posts, to 177 families in the region. In total, 575 residents of the aforementioned areas benefited.

Three countries, one thousand kilometers, and pure electric power: a small group of journalists traveled through Denmark, Sweden, and Norway in the A6 Sportback e-tron performance. They drove the high-range Audi from Copenhagen to Bergen – through charming towns, over impressive bridges, and along breathtaking waterfalls, national parks, and fjords.

A number of Audi Sport customer racing customers are on top form at the halfway point of the year: For the first time this year, a driver duo is leading the International GT Open in GT3 racing, while another team is extending its lead in GT4 racing across Europe. The situation in TCR Europe is characterized by a change of leadership between two brothers who both rely on Audi. Finally, at the Spa 24 Hours, Audi Sport was honored with an induction into the Hall of Fame.

A new era began in Ingolstadt 60 years ago: the first post-Second World War Audi rolled off the assembly line on August 13, 1965. And on that occasion, after a quarter of a century, Auto Union GmbH once again adopted the traditional Audi brand name. The name itself was intended to demonstrate the model’s status as a technical pioneer. It was, after all, Audi’s first automobile with a four-cylinder, four-stroke engine. The Audi, known internally as the F 103, was a resounding success and spawned an entire model series that – with further developments in design and technology – remained in production until 1972.

Audi brings interactive gaming fun directly into the car with the AirConsole gaming platform specially developed for vehicles. Passengers can now play together on the central MMI touch display or on the MMI passenger display in models with that feature. Smartphones are easily connected to the vehicle using a QR code and then serve as controllers. This makes every ride an entertaining experience for the whole family – both during everyday drives or when traveling.

The International Motorsport customer team celebrated a strong winning streak in New Zealand with a well-deserved title win for its Audi R8 LMS.

The Audi Q3 has been a well-established bestseller in the premium compact segment for more than ten years. Now the third generation is setting new standards in several respects. The modern SUV’s exterior exudes self-confidence and emotion. Numerous innovative features turn the Audi Q3 into a digital companion. They provide a first-class user experience and also ensure greater comfort and safety for the driver and other road users thanks to many assistance systems. In addition to the well-balanced suspension, the digitalization of light also enhances customer benefits. A high degree of personalization and adaptive, high-resolution light functions are made possible with the new micro-LED technology in the digital Matrix LED headlights. Another feature of the new Audi Q3 is an efficient, partially electrified combustion engine with mild-hybrid technology and a plug-in hybrid model with an electric range of up to 119 kilometers.

Audi is expanding the new Q5 family: in addition to the combustion models with MHEV plus technology, the SUV and Sportback will also be launched as plug-in hybrid models (PHEV). Both the Q5 SUV e-hybrid quattro and Q5 Sportback e-hybrid quattro can be ordered in two power levels: with 220 kW or 270 kW system output. The new generation of high-voltage batteries in the Audi Q5 e-hybrid models has around 45 percent more capacity. As a result, 25.9 kWh (net 20.7 kWh) of power is available for electric driving.
