Audi Introducing Highly Limited Edition R8 V10 plus Coupe Competition Package

Remember a few months ago when Audi introduced the Audi Sport performance parts? Well, now you can get a limited edition R8 with all of that stuff added on for just $40,000 more than standard.

To be fair, the car will only be one of ten brought into the US in precisely this configuration, which includes just about every performance part it can have, a Suzuka Gray paint job, Audi exclusive interior package, a Bang & Olufsen sound system and more (full list below).

Thanks to its 20-inch milled wheels (-26.4 lbs) and it’s carbon ceramic brake pads (-2.2 lbs) the car loses some unsprung weight and adds 220 lbs of downforce thanks to its carbon fiber aero bits.

Models are expected to hit dealerships in November 2018, so get your dialing fingers ready and call your local dealer quick if you want one of your own. But make sure you call accountant first because it’ll cost you $235,350 to get it.

Review: Saying Goodbye to the CC V6

For all its size and its global reach, Volkswagen is still, in many ways, a deeply human company. There was, for instance, the Bugatti Veyron an ego project if ever there was one. Then the purchase of Ducati, a move most called folly. And then there was the Phaeton, the Volkswagen that most folks can’t afford. Not only were these moves all strange, I’m sure that they made VW’s accountants furious. None of them made good business sense, but they were all deeply interesting and they all are evidence of the heart that beats at the center of VW. Among these follies is the CC, a car that everyone agrees is rakishly handsome, but that no one really wanted to buy. The car couldn’t last, but the world is brighter for its having been in it. With the approach debut of the Arteon, it seems like a good time to look back on its sadly departing predecessor. The version I drove, because I live in Canada, is a V6 Wolfsburg Edition, which apparently isn’t available in the States. Nor is the V6, not as...

More 3.0-Liter TDI Settlement Details Expected by January 31

Volkswagen and the TDI Plaintiff’s Steering Committee were in court today for another status conference following the agreement in principal reached earlier this week. Little new information was given at the conference held before Judge Charles Breyer today, but the court ordered the parties to develop a formal settlement agreement, class action notices, and a class notice plan by January 31, 2017. For now, though, owners still don’t know how much to expect in compensation. Elizabeth Cabraser, lead Counsel for the Plaintiff’s Steering Committee reaffirmed in a statement today that the compensation would be “substantial.” The potential cost to Volkswagen is widely reported to exceed $1 billion, though, with an additional $225 million going into an environmental trust to help offset excess emissions. Buy back offers are still only expected for the oldest 20,000 of the roughly 80,000 VW Group vehicles sold in America with the 3.0-liter TDI engine. Those vehicles are mostly SUVs, like ...
