Adding speed to swank, a U.K.-based limousine brokerage service called Limo Broker has announced plans to build the world's premier Audi R8 stretch limo. Warning: if you're an upscale consumer who enjoys a relaxing, calm ride in an elegant vehicle, the R8 limousine is not for you. That's because it is also the world's fastest stretch limo.

Heard of the A3 e-tron? No, it's not the sequel to the latest Jeff Bridges movie. Nor is it the name of a highly-advanced new video game. Sorry to disappoint gamers and Tron enthusiasts, but the A3 e-tron is an Audi concept model that displays the brand's cutting-edge, battery-powered technology.

Proving that good things really do come in pairs, the Audi A6 rounded up two high-status awards: "Doors & Closures Innovation Award" and "EuroCarBody Award."

After taking customer feedback into consideration, the luxury automaker has decided to switch things up across their current design language yet do so with no sacrifice to the high-performance and premium materials we've come to expect.

In order to unlock the doors of success, automakers looking to release new technology must first conduct research to find the right key. That is why Audi has sent a fleet of 20 sample A1 e-tron vehicles out onto the streets of Munich. As part of an initiative by the German government, the prototype models will collect information regarding road behavior of EV drivers and electric infrastructure requirements.

Audi fans are already getting excited for the upcoming launch of the next-generation Audi TT-RS, slated to emerge in 2013. But we at Circle Audi would like to let those in the Long Beach area in on a little secret. The wait for innovative Audi material might not be that long.
