German car manufacturer Audi said in a statement that new RS models will be arriving in the US shores for American consumers.

In order to compete aggressively with models like the Mercedes-Benz AMG and the BMW’s M product line, Audi recognized that they need to haul more RS models into the US markets.

According to Johan de Nysschen, the president of Audi of America, the RS models are the best manifestation of the brand’s technical advancement. Moreover, Nysschen said that sports car enthusiasts and consumers have expressed their desire to make the RS models readily available in the United States.

Based on the same press release, the German brand will launch the TT RS model into the US market this month, despite the fact that preliminary deliveries are currently ongoing. The RS5 model, which will be debut in the 2012 product line is gearing up to compete with the M3 Coupe from BMW.
Audi plans to rake up US sales of performance models like the RS by double, around 16,000 units by year 2015. Audi chose the RS models because it’s the pinnacle of the brand’s top performing vehicles. According to Audi’s sale chief, Peter Schwarzenbauer, the brand is taking the first step towards this goal by bringing the TT RS and RS5 models to the US market.

But that’s not all the brand has in store for the US market. There are also other RS models to look forward to like the new generation RS4, the RS6,the entry-level RS3 and of course, the 2012 Audi A6.

Detroit’s 2010 auto show recently took place; a lot of great new vehicles and interesting new concepts were unveiled during its duration. One of those was the second version of Audi’s E-Tron concept.

It proved to be smaller than its predecessor, which received its unveiling in 2009 at the auto shows in Los Angeles and Frankfurt. It is set to be somewhat similar to the line of Quattro vehicles.

The vehicle is 1780 millimeters in width and 3930 millimeters in length, and it is a two seater. In terms of its wheelbase and its length, it is quite similar to VW’s Bluesport concept. However, the E-Tron weighs a mere 1,350 kilograms.

Its light weight is due largely to the fact that its body is aluminum; other building materials include composite materials reinforced with carbon fibers.

The Audi A5 Sportback Gets an A+

When I think about an Audi, I think of something that is both reliable and edgy. You sort of expect it to be boring, but it never really is. I don’t know, maybe I’m weird, but somehow Audis are linked to Birkenstocks in my mind’s eye.

However, the Audi A5 Sportback creates no such connections. In my own personal opinion, this is definitely a winner. Part of the A5 range — naturally — it was recently, officially unveiled, proving that it totally blurred all the lines between a coupe, a conventional wagon, and a sedan. Its this magical mix that refuses to conform with convention.

Parts of the design were created to honor the 1969 100 Coupe S.
