We already know that Audi plans to fit the standard R8’s 420-hp, 4.2-liter V8 into its all-new Spyder variant early next year, and now comes word that at least one more version of the R8 is in the pipeline and that the R tronic sequential automatic might not be long for this world.

According to company insiders speaking with Car and Driver, the herky-jerky gearbox will likely be dispatched in favor of Audi’s new seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. There’s no word on the amount of torque the DCT can handle, but considering how much better the R8 V10 performed with the standard sequential tranny, we’d suspect that the dual-clutch setup will make its way onto the V8 models only. And if you’re worried about the gated six-speed manual being nixed from the options list, don’t be – it will continue to be available on all models.

C&D also reports that a sportier version of the R8, inspired by the LMS model, could be in the cards, packing more power (think: Lamborghini Gallardo LP570-4 Superleggera) and a not-so-insignificant weight reduction thanks to the liberal use of carbon fiber. Expect that to only be available on the V10 model and yes, a fully-electric version based on the original e-tron concept is supposedly on the way and due to arrive in a few year’s time.

It was about half an hour in, and she was driving a black Audi? Does anyone remember what model that was?

The Audi brand is the front running label that Volkswagon uses in releasing their cutting edge designs. The Audi S model is one of the newest designs that have shown the superior designs and the luxury that can be offered today. As a German brand the Audi S model has a strong support base in Europe, and the long lasting image in the United States has made the Audi the medium-high standard that most cars are striving to meet. As one of the main competitors to Japanese and American cars, Audi has designed the S model to be the standard for performance, comfort, and power.

In the next year the Audi S model has designs to create a car with a super charged engine layout. This is to meet the challenges that some of the Japanese companies have made in more recent models. The key factor in this is that Audi S model has a long standing image of quality and stability that many Japanese companies have strived to have, but fail to reach at the level that has been seen in Audi and Volkswagon.

Like many of the main models that Audi has made, the Audi S model?s focus on all the strengths that they can make in one design. The S8 has been seen as the best car that Audi has made since the Quattro designs of the 80s. The S model is just one of a long line of models that has shown that a person can have a very good car with all the power that a person needs in a luxury and sports car. In many places of the world, only the elite car brands have been able to compare with what Audi has fashioned in the S8 and that has been reflected in the overall sales.

Audi has also developed a method where they focus on one primary model that is their focus in marketing. This is a tactic that can be seen as dangerous in some eyes, yet Audi has been able to take this approach and make a huge impact with models like the Audi S model. Part of this is that they are the centerpiece to the company that they are part of and that they have a foundation base of being a brand that has existed for over a century. These are two factors alone that show that Audi is a brand that is proven. With them backing their S models and showing that they are the new mainstay of this company shows what they are offering to the world.

Many car brands focus on a region or country, and Audi has put the focus in the world. They are a brand that has shown that excellence is in quality, and that quality is in the Audi S models. This is a bold statement, yet one that comes from a brand that has been proven and shown to symbolize all that a car owner could ever need in a car. If anything, Audi has been improving their brand representation in the past decade and the Audi S models are a perfect example of this.
