Is there a more powerful Audi TT RS on the horizon? According to some leaked information, that appears to be the case. An iteration of the two-door has appeared in internal Audi documents with the name TT RS Plus. It’s power output is listed at 355 horsepower, which is a 20 pony jump over the current 335-hp TT RS.

It may not sound like much, but if Audi can shed some weight, in addition to the horsepower increase, then it should have an even more serious sports car on its hands. The leaked document states that the car will be introduced in May, so until that happens we’ll dream that it looks something like the DTM-inspired TT RS we drooled over back in October 2010.

If you’ve already had enough of the Audi R8 GT, you’ve probably found this site by accident and you shouldn’t be here. Go away. Now if you’re still around, we needn’t remind you of the stripped down GT’s 560 horsepower 5.2-liter V10 engine. Nor the 220 pound weight loss program and its 3.6 second run to 60 mph. If we’re speaking your language, then check out this newest batch of wallpaper-ready photos of the lightest, most powerful R8 courtesy Audi’s German website.

Since Audi only plans to produce 330 examples of its stunningly capable coupe, pictures could well be the closest many of us will ever get to four-ringed perfection. Bask in the beauty below.

Revealed! Audi R8 GT goes on a diet and gets more power 2

Audi R8 GT

Audi dropped a very pleasant surprise on us this afternoon with the long-awaited announcement of the R8 GT.

The Audi R8 V10 was already one of our favorite sports cars in the world (sans the R-Tronic transmission) so how could you make it better? In the immortal words of Colin Chapman, “add lightness.” But in a modern sports car required to meet rigorous safety standards, you can only go so far short of a complete redesign. Hence, the R8 GT’s lightened chassis benefits from a power boost to boot.

The R8 GT swaps in a thinner glass windshield and polycarbonate rear windows and replaces many aluminum body panels with carbon fiber. By going over every part of the R8, Audi’s engineers have carved a total of 220 pounds off the standard R8′s curb weight.

The 5.2-liter V10 has been bumped from 525 horsepower to 560, topping its cousin, the Lamborghini Gallardo. The GT is only available with the aforementioned R-Tronic hydraulically actuated semi-automatic, and when pushed to its limit, the R8 GT is claimed to accelerate to 62 miles per hour in just 3.6 seconds and on to 124 mph in 10.6 seconds. The terminal velocity has been increased to 198.8 mph.

Only 333 examples of the R8 GT will be built and the price in Germany is €193,000 ($256,000 USD). No mention is made of U.S. availability, but we’d be surprised if Audi doesn’t apportion a few for Stateside consumption. Full details in the press release after the break.

Audi R15 “plus” TDI shows off new, more aerodynamic nose 4

2010 Audi R15 plus – click above to enlarge

Testing for the 24 Hours of Le Mans doesn’t begin until mid-June, but that doesn’t mean that Audi isn’t already hard at work bettering the chances of their diesel-powered R15 TDI racer.

Thanks to a belated rule change for the LMP1 class designed to hamper the dominance of diesel-powered vehicles, Le Mans rulemakers have mandated smaller-diameter air restrictors and curbed supercharger pressure in an effort to level the playing field. According to Audi, those alterations have made the German automaker prioritize aerodynamics and downforce even more than normal.

The result? Audi boffins have completely re-engineered the front-end of the car, so much so that the new split nose racer has been designated “R15 plus.” The updated LMP1 entrant has already begun testing its new aerodynamics, revised cooling and fuel tank systems in the United States, and further testing in Europe will follow before the legendary French enduro. Audi says that the 5.5-liter engine continues to crank out upwards of 590 horsepower. Can’t remember what last year’s R15 look like? Compare and contrast by clicking here. Official press release after the jump.

Thanks to the Volkswagen Group’s strategy to be the leading player in the alternative-powertrain market within the next decade, Audi has announced a rapid expansion of hybrid and electric vehicles over the next few years. The German automaker wants to improve efficiency of its internal combustion engines (both gasoline and diesel) by 30 percent – and it wants five percent of the brand’s model line to be electric. “In the future, our customers will be able to choose from an increasingly broad range of driveline technologies,” said Audi CEO Rupert Stadler.

Be More Noticeable on Your Motorcycle 28

Posted by Admin in Cars Related on 02 28th, 2010

Millions of people love to ride motorcycles for various reasons. Not only do you get to feel the fresh air on your face, but you can also save some gas money due to motorcycles’ high gas mileage. However, riding a motorbike can also be very dangerous as you have nothing protecting you from the pavement. Here are some tips to make you more noticeable on your motorcycle, which can help prevent accidents.

Sadly, people who ride motorcycles are more susceptible to bad weather and dangerous road conditions such as trash on the road or potholes. However, an estimated 75% of motorcycle wrecks happen between motorcyclists and people who are driving passenger cars. While you cannot always change the weather so that you get to ride on a pretty day, you can follow these tips to make you more apparent to car drivers.

First, although you may love riding on your black motorcycle in your all-black leathers and helmet, this can make you practically invisible at dusk and at night. While you are more visible during the daytime, you should take extra precautions at night and perhaps add a reflective vest over your ensemble so that you are more noticeable.

If you do not choose to wear a reflective vest, you can at least choose to wear lighter-colored clothing and bright outfits that are more flashy. This way, perhaps a car driver would be more likely to notice a red-shirted motorcyclists rather than someone who blends in with the shadows in all-black.

Next, you should always leave your motorcycle headlight on. While this is obvious for those who drive only at night, it can also help you be more visible during the day as well. Also, shiny chrome, which is often popular anyways, may be more reflective during the daytime, and even at night, which can draw attention to your presence.

Also, many motorcyclists decide to have loud throttles and roaring engines as part of the thrill of being a motorbike owner. However, these loud noises can also alert car drivers to your presence. Many cyclists disagree with some cities’ decision to force motorcyclists to drive outside of town if they have large, noisy engines because they believe that popping the throttle and roaring the engine works to notify drivers of their presence.

Sometimes, no matter how safety conscious you are, reckless drivers can still cause you to get into an accident. If someone else’s negligence has caused you to get in a wreck and become injured, you should talk to a motor vehicle accident attorney about your rights. For more information, contact a motor vehicle accident lawyer from Habush Habush & Rottier S.C., today.
