For those who may have missed it, the Audi SQ7 TDI is an automotive juggernaut. Boasting a 4-liter V-8 diesel engine, the SQ7 TDI can produce 435 horsepower and 664 pound-feet of torque. Just to rub it in a bit, the SQ7 TDI also features an eight-speed automatic transmission, all-wheel drive, and a four-wheel steering system. So yeah, it’s more than a little impressive. Faster-than-an-actual-jet impressive? You be the judge.

This year’s Audi Super Bowl commercial was the most talked about. The classic David Bowie song, “Starman” brought the right amount of energy to the commercial, which tells the story of a retired astronaut who lost his passion for life, but then rediscovers it when he gets behind the wheel of his son’s 2017 Audi R8 V10 Plus.

Depending on which groundhog you ask, winter is either not long for this world, or still set to come on strong. Of course, we tend to more towards not taking the weather predictions of small rodents and being prepared for whatever is tossed out way. And if you're looking for a seven-seat SUV that is built for that, we'd like to introduce you to the new Audi Q7.

It seems like more and more automakers have been jumping on the hydrogen band wagon as of late. And while many might see Audi's entrance into the world of H2-powered cars as a "joining the club" move, they've never done anything without offering their own innovative touch. The H-Tron Quattro Concept is no different.

We at Audi of Charlotte have to tip our cap to our beloved German brand. It did a downright exceptional job with its fantastic midsize four-door, the 2016 Audi A6.

What went into the creation of the current model? Tag along with Autotrader pundit, Jabari Jones, as he provides the inside scoop:

Placing a premium on performance is the A6's top-tier powertrain, the 3.0T. This supercharged 3.0-liter V6 is standardly paired with an eight-speed automatic gearbox and quattro® all-wheel drive, and produces a prodigious 333 horsepower and 325 pound-feet of torque.

In its latest TV spot for the made-over 2016 Audi TT, the German automaker entered the overactive imagination of a child. And while the TT is the star of the show, it's the commercial's undeniable feeling of youth that stuck with us most.

Entitled "Reality? Check," we at Audi of Charlotte have your first look at this incredible ad right here:

Beneath the TT's bonnet, a turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine holds court with a six-speed automatic gearbox. They work together to twist out a truly terrific 230 horsepower and 0-to-60 mph times that clock in at…

If you happen to be hunting for a compact sport sedan, we at Audi of Charlotte must attest that you'd be hard-pressed to find one that does the job more thoroughly than the 2015 Audi S3.

Don't quite buy it? Well, you just may be singing a totally different tune after watching the following video review:

Get under this speedster's snout and there you'll find a turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine. Boasting a beefy 292 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque, this four-banger can fly.

In the past several years, every auto show seems to come with some kind of Audi E-Tron concept. While some of these are for the future of the brand's design language, others feature the brand's burgeoning all-electric tech. This year's Frankfurt Motor Show will feature such a concept, only this time, things are different.

We know that there is so much joy when our Matthews, Charlotte, Northlake, and Rock Hill customers drive off in a new 2015 Audi Q5, but sometimes in the excitement we forget to consider the possibilities for customization. This is where Audi Genuine Parts and Accessories come in, because with accessories like a popup tent, bicycle rack, and more, there's almost no limit to the ways you can show your devotion to the Audi brand.
