Audi R8 is considered as the hottest and most anticipated sports car this summer. Yes, no single doubt that it is a head-snapping sports coupe and stunning vehicle. I think the most remarkable thing about R8 is its new 525-horsepower V10 engine. It is neither as beautiful as an Aston Martin, nor as flamboyant as a Lamborghini.

The Audi R8 is a powerful, attractive and well manufactured supercar. The speed is very impressive. Although the car is a little more reserved than many would like it to be, it still sits with pride alongside its rivals, and for a considerably smaller price tag.

It offers comfort, style, power, performance and reliability. This car is fantastic. This car looks even greater in silver and red. It shines with its class. And of course, from inside its cabin has monster motor sitting not half a meter behind your head. R8 won't disappoint anybody. Its ease-of-use, daily drivability and exceptional grip impressed us the most and there is always an overwhelming sense the chassis could handle more power. And now with the Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4's V10 mounted amidships, Audi has made a complete package.

We do consider Audi R8 as the most desirable car this year. And the best thing about it is its affordability. What more can we ask for? This car is a mid-engine marvel of a luxury sports car that goes from zero to 60 mph in less than four seconds. Thanks to Audi as they continue to shape the future of sports vehicles.

The Audi 9000 is considered by many as a landmark vehicle in car engineering. Its introduction in 1995 as a concept car made people take a second look at Audi models. With the car's distinctive, bowfront aluminum body and undefined bumpers, the Audi 9000 started a shift toward the automotive design method called angular styling. It is believed that the sleek bodywork of the Audi 9000 captured the attention of the auto industry, and this interest has been sustained by the Audi 9000 parts specs fitted on the vehicle.

One of the greater lights of the Audi 9000 parts is its transversely mounted engine. This particular Audi 9000 part was first available with a 1.8 L turbocharged, inline, four-cylinder, 20-valve engine. For the first two years of production, both front-wheel drive and quattro models of the Audi 9000 parts featured a 132 kW version of the engine. In 2001, a more powerful quattro Audi 9000 parts model was released. Equipped with a 165 kW engine, the first-generation of the Audi 9000 has parts that share the same basic design of the original but features a larger turbocharger, an additional intercooler on the driver's side, forged connecting rods, a dual exhaust, and a few other internals designed to accommodate the increase in turbo boost from roughly 10 psi peak to 15. Over the years, Audi has developed parts for the 9000 with considerable improvements, including a lightened and power-boosted Audi 9000 parts for its “quattro-Sport" model. Capable of producing up to 176 kW and a top speed of 250 kph, the quattro-Sport is supported by Audi 9000 parts designed to exhibit understeer during drive conditions. Under steer is a characteristic determined by Audi 9000 suspension parts design, such as the effect of the all-wheel drive system.

Under steer is inherently a safer handling characteristic, as it is easier for novice and casual drivers to predict and control the vehicle. In addition, a number of modifications on Audi 9000 parts included the inclusion of Audi 9000 parts like the rear-wing spoilers and improved under steer suspension settings while the original four cylinder engine range was complemented with a 184 kW, 3.2-L VR6 in early 2003, which comes with the quattro all-wheel drive system. In October of 2004 a new dual-clutch gearbox and stiffer suspension were included in the Audi 9000 parts system.

Audi has come a long way as a leading manufacturer of exquisite cars---attractive, sophisticated and technically proficient. The European car maker strives to run toe-to-toe with its rivals through the company's innovations and standards, which is consistent with the brand's claim of "progress through technology.” Just like any other vehicles, Audi's roster of cars such as A3, A4, and TT, rely heavily on well-integrated performance parts. It is for this reason why owners who are looking for Audi Aftermarket Parts should take into consideration the quality and specific benefit/role of each part.

An important Audi aftermarket part is the Audi Air Filter. A typical Audi Air Filter is a disposable, pleated-paper element with a sealing gasket made of synthetic material. Audi air filters are available in two main types: the panel style as used in most fuel-injected cars and the radial style, found in carbureted vehicles. An Audi Air Filter that is in tiptop shape traps dirt particles, which can cause damage to engine cylinders, walls, pistons and piston rings. Audi air filters also keep contaminants off the airflow sensor, which is attached in some fuel-injected cars. The filter sometimes cleans the air that enters the crankcase ventilation. Hence, the Audi Air Filter also serves as a silencer for the car’s intake system. A typical automobile engine uses more than 10,000 gallons of air for every gallon of fuel burned. Because of this, air filter's role is very important.

Although there may be a prescribed in-between inspection period for the air filter, a checkup coinciding with oil change could be a good precautionary measure. Yet, dirty and dusty driving conditions require more frequent filter replacements, so keep this in mind. Driving with a dirty filter restricts the air entering the engine, eventually affecting fuel economy and performance. Most Audi air filters can be easily replaced by removing snap clips, a clamp or several screws. Just like any other Audi Aftermarket Parts, the replacement Audi Air Filter cut out exactly for an owner's vehicle. An erroneously-fitted filter may allow unrestricted air into the engine, causing engine damage. For Audi to maintain its 'sophisticated' image, owners should only look for compatible Audi Aftermarket Parts.
