With European deliveries set to begin in just a couple of months, reports indicate that the Audi RS5 will, in the end, make it to the North American market, 444-horsepower V8 and all. But it could take a little while.

The first RS5s will begin arriving in customers’ hands in Germany this coming June with a sticker price pegged at €65,300, representing a 32.4 percent price hike over the existing S5 coupe. Inside Line calculates that translates to about $88k by straight conversion, but applied to the U.S. market price for the S5, the 32.4% increase comes out closer to $69,500. Audi, however, doesn’t anticipate selling many of the super-coupes Stateside, and is therefore planning on bringing every RS5 over fully equipped, with the sport differential, Dynamic Ride Control system and Boysen sport exhaust.

So equipped, sources peg the American price for a loaded RS5 at around $75,000. But Audi reportedly warns not to start counting the days just yet, as first North American deliveries likely won’t begin before August or September 2011.

    Technology alert: The dipstick’s demise is blamed on dilatory drivers 22
    Apr

    Filed under: , , , ,

    The practice of opening the hood at every fuel stop used to be routine. With an oil-soaked rag in hand, the worker reached over and pulled out the hot metal dipstick, and after a quick cleaning swipe, the dipstick was plunged back into its tube and pushed down into the sump of scalding oil. Withdrawn again, a tell-tale black film in the middle of the scored lines marked the oil level very accurately.

    Today, many late model vehicles are running sans oil dipstick. Electronic oil level senders have replaced the metal rod – to the bafflement and frustration of the few remaining hands-on enthusiasts everywhere.

    In an effort to find out who exactly is responsible for the dipstick-abolishing movement, Autoblog contacted Audi, BMW and Porsche – three respected German automakers who have embraced the technology for several years. All three gave us the same answer. Contrary to Internet rumors, the elimination of an inexpensive metal rod is not a cost-cutting measure, nor is it an environmental issue (word on the web said each check of a dipstick introduced ounces of polluting dirty oil into the ecosystem).

    Quite frankly, the automakers point out that we simply don’t need dipsticks anymore. Why. Because owners don’t use them. While they don’t specifically say it, those who engineer and assemble our new cars (and guarantee new vehicle warranties) are much more comfortable knowing that a silicon chip is monitoring the oil level – not a consumer who hasn’t checked tire pressures (or even opened the hood) since the last time the Vikings won the Super Bowl.

    Today’s comatose driver expects everything to be automated – and it is. Look no further than the myriad of digitized warning lights on the dashboard when the key is turned (um… make that the start button). Don’t blame the automakers for the disappearance of the dipstick – blame the public at large.

    What is an Electric Trike? 22
    Apr

    Electric trikes are a form of three wheeled vehicle that utilizes an electric engine for propulsion. A trike is a shortened form of the word tricycle and typically refers to a three wheel cycle. There are three main variations of trike design in the world. These three types are Upright, Recumbent Delta, and the Recumbent Tadpole.

    An upright trike is the design that some adult trikes and most child sized trikes are designed around. Recumbent delta trikes are tricycles that allow the rider to sit much more naturally as though they are riding in a leaned-back chair. The delta version has a single wheel in the front and two in the back. The recumbent tadpole trikes are similar in design to the recumbent delta. The only main difference is that there are two wheels in the front and a single wheel in the back.

    The motorization of these trikes is quite popular with many varied designs based on each primary style. The most common type of electric trike is recumbent in design. The recumbent tadpole is considered the best in terms of balance, steerage, and safety. However, the recumbent delta style is still very popular.

    There are two basic types of battery style for electric trikes. These types are quick swap and non-quick swap. A quick swap trike allows for batteries to be swapped out rapidly so that they can continually use a fresh battery as the old one runs down. In this vein a weaker electric trike that can go upward of ten miles on a single charge without peddling would be able to double its distance simply by carrying a second charged battery. A non-quick swap battery style means that it takes a little time and effort to swap batteries. The ability to change batteries will still exist but it is not nearly as swift in procedure as the quick swap variety.

    The types of electric trike vary from manufacturer to manufacturer. Some of the lower end electric trikes (such as the Gomier Electric Tike) will cost around a thousand dollars American and have a general traveling capacity of eight to ten miles per charge. However, there are higher end Upright types that can be found for a similar price that can perform twice this capacity. There are also higher end versions that are double the capacity and cost nearly twice as much such as the eZee Carro electric tricycle.

    The prices and styles vary wildly, but the end result is a vehicle that does not need to use fossil fuels and is fun to ride. Further, if an owner of such a vehicle does not wish to expend their battery they can simply pedal on their own. This makes it the perfect vehicle if you are not in a rush, as battery life can be extended quite a bit and you never have to worry about the engine dying on you as long as you have the will to pedal.
