Three factors don’t usually mix well with cars: power, style, and economy. But somehow, Audi comes up with a car that might just have all three in spades. The 2010 version of the Quattro A4 is a crossover car, designed for the road and will hold its own off-road should you decide to go beyond the beaten path. It’s esentially an A4 Avant wagon but with an increased ground clearance, a redesigned body, and clever engineering for the engine and transmission. Three engines will be available, a 2.0 liter TFSI petrol engine delivering 211 BHP, a 2.0 TDI turbo diesel, and a 3.0 TDI. Of course, all engines will be mated to the immaculate Quattro all-wheel drivetrain, with a manual shifter for the 2.0 diesel and the S Tronic system for the other two. $48,000.
The name Zeppelin commanded an image of power during the 1928-1934 era in the auto industry. Then it suddenly disappeared. Now it’s back with a vengeance! This 2010 model Is powered by the familiar Maybach 6.0L V12 twin-turbo from other models, but up-rated by 28hp (21kW) to 640hp (471kW) and 738lb-ft (1,000Nm) of torque, the Zeppelin nevertheless promises to meet Euro 5 emissions standards. Something this good won’t be priced cheap as expected. You’d get the model on the Maybach 57 starting at €406,000 ($524,000) in Europe, while those based on the 62 will jump off at €473,200 ($610,000). First batch of orders in the queue will open upon the car’s debut this coming March which are then to be delivered in September. I wonder who would those lucky ballers are?
The car is being redefined by day since it was first made by Henry Ford. Hybrids have re-introduced electrons to the engine and the comforting noise is being muffled as we speak. Examples of these are the Toyota Prius, 2011 Chevy Volt and Tesla Roadster. But this doesn’t mean the end for our good ‘ol combustion engines. If we could just get more for a gallon of fuel then the technology would stay. Here comes Volkswagen and the diesel powered passenger cars they have for us. The latest is the Jetta TDI 2009. It’s powered by a new 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine that has a rating of 30 miles-per-gallon in the city and 41 mpg on the highway. AMCI results was 38 mpg city/ 44 mpg highway. This just runs 1,800 rpm while cruising between 65 and 70 mph, so the Jetta TDI feels and sounds more like a car powered by a large, unencumbered V6. It’s relaxed and anything but buzzy, accomplishing all of its work below a 4,500 rpm redline that ensures things never get hectic underhood. Also gone is the knock, clatter and clang characteristic of past diesels.
