    Cars Racing On a 105-Foot High Vertical Road Make Me Wish for Antigravity Engines

    We have seen Gerry Judah's amazing work before, which mix awesome engineering and technology to get almost-impossible pieces, like this 105-foot high, 44 tonne sculpture showing two Audi cars shooting into the sky. Up close it's mighty impressive: More »

    Audi-Designed Grand Piano Is Unsurprisingly Carlike

    Or maybe it's just that cars and pianos are inherently similar: They both have pedals, hood-ish mechanisms, make noise, and sit users at some manner of control panel. If that didn't blow your mind, then, well, you probably understand art. More »

    Super Bowl Ads: Alec Baldwin Is An Alien, Vizio, and How About That Ending?!

    Aside from those movie trailers we posted earlier today, there weren't too many gadgety ads or Palm Pre sightings that were worth a major post. But there were a few. And Baldwin is an alien. More »

    Audi Travolution Syncs Car to Traffic Lights (Sadly Not Other Way Around)

    If you drive in cities, you know the game where you guess the exact speed to, say, cruise down Lexington Ave hitting all the green lights in sequence. With Audi's Travolution system—currently piloted in Ingolstadt, German—that game is no longer necessary, because 46 traffic lights report in to the car's computer, and the car tells you the speed you should go to hit all of them when green.

    Is this the Futuremark 3D OpenGL-Powered Car Dashboard of the Future?

    We've seen all-digital concept dashboards before, but none seem as impressive 3D (or close to reality) as Futuremark's. It scraps everything behind and to the right of the wheel in favor of a smooth, uninterrupted display onto which an OpenGL powered 3D engine renders everything you might need—instrumentation, navigation, entertainment system controls, climate controls, everything.

    TTYL, Going to Drive Iron Man's Car

    Hey, I'm taking the afternoon off to drive a few new fine Audi R8s, strictly to find out more about the tech under the hood and on the dash of course. That's the car, soon to be featured as Iron Man's car in the upcoming movie. Let's hope Downy doesn't wrap it around a tree method acting Tony Stark's drinking habits. Let's hope I don't wrap it around a tree today. PS, I've got my Valentine One on Friday. P.P.S. You can read up on the car at Jalopnik, but what do you guys want to know about it?

    Audi's Concept Cell Phone Starts the Car, Adjusts Climate Control, and has 3G

    Audi has produced a concept device that will function as a cellphone, MP3 player, vehicle control system (It can start the car and adjust the music and climate control) and in-car navigation system (as well as locate your car if stolen or lost in a cavernous garage.) That is a lot of functionality under one roof. It appears, after the team let their functionality juices flow, they were fresh out of design ideas because the multi-functioning wonder looks like a rudimentary caveman's instrument for beating prey to a pulp.

    Audi Type C Roadster, Pedal Car for Richie Rich Kids

    If you're looking to spoil your kid rotten, here's a $13,300 replica of an Audi Auto Union Type C roadster, a perfect 1:2 scale copy of the classic Grand Prix race car. Your kid will be relatively safe inside, too, because there is no engine—it's a car that only goes fast as the little tyke can pump its pedals. This is not just any stupid kiddy car, though, it's built to the same standards of a fine full-sized automobile. One more beauty shot, after the jump. More »

    Audi Roadjet's Rear-Console Espresso Machine

    Our commute to work most days is the five inches we reach to get the laptop off of the bedside table and into bed, so we read stories about extreme commuting with great horror and begin to think things like the working WMF espresso machine Audi placed in the rear-seat console of its Roadjet concept car might be good ideas. The Roadjet is reportedly going into production for the European market (the US is expected to get the more SUV-like Q5), so it'll be interesting to see if the espresso machine makes it into the final model as an added feature or if the in-car coffee machine will remain just a dream for now.

    Audi & Volkswagen Drop XM, Sign Exclusive Deal with Sirius

    If you love Howard Stern, this news might make you happy; if you love having choices, this news will make you sad.

Both Audi and Volkswagen will be offering Sirius satellite radio receivers with new cars through 2012. Terms of the agreement have not been disclosed, but Volkswagen will be offering three free months of Sirius radio to new buyers and expects to equip 80% of new vehicles with their receivers. More »

    The $11,000 Car Stereo

    Audi s A8 and S8 are going to be outfitted with a sound system incorporated by Denmark s Bang & Olufsen. This is not your standard luxury car stereo. For starters, it costs $11,000. For that kind of money you get 14 speakers strategically positioned throughout the cabin and two sets of amplifiers each pumping out 1,000 watts of sonic ecstasy. In order to prevent sound quality loss, the system uses the Danish company s Acoustic Lens Technology, which enables high frequency, minimal distortion playback. The sound system takes into account all types of travel conditions, such as driving at high speeds and wind noise. More »
