The Smithsonian Channel's "Supercar Superbuild" is featured the Audi R8 last night and the production company was kind enough to share behind the scenes photography from the episode. Shot on location, the episode tracks the history, conception, and construction of the Audi R8 and clearly had...

British automotive weekly  Autocar  has published a story this morning that appears to spell out the final outcome (at least for now) of those  Fiat-Chrysler acquisition rumors  that had been circulating. According to the piece, the move was very much in play until an inward examination was done...

We’re hearing an oddball rumor out of Australia that the Volkswagen Group is considering a name change to “Auto Union”. Whether or not a change to the name of Audi’s former parent company is in the works is true remains to be seen, but this isn’t the first time we’ve heard such a thing...

New for 2011, Audi Tradition has published their annual calendar entitled "Time Warp: Auto Union Silver Arrows on the Historic Race Tracks". The project was over a year in the making says Audi’s historical department. The idea: Take Audi’s impressive collection of pre-war silver arrows back to...

I'm fascinated with the pre-war era of Silver arrow racing and always the fan of a cool painting. For that reason this Rob Ijbema of Bernd Rosemeyer at the wheel of a Streamliner at Avus 1937 caught my eye. Original link after the jump...

It's a PR nuisance: major magazine rings up the communications office looking to compare the latest, greatest offering with something else. Unless you win and win against something brag-worthy it's not really worth it. Given that, we wonder how Audi PR bosses viewed the pitch from Autobild to...

Here's something you don't see every day. Take one DKW Munga, built by Auto Union during the 50s primarily for military use. Paint it yellow, fit it with mudder tires and rally lights, swap in an aircooled VW boxer four and you have one very unique beach buggy. We've just found this beast for...
