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.

With a trophy case that includes a 1st place showing in Edmunds.com comparisons, and a 2015 Top Safety Pick+ designation from then Insurance Institute of Highway Safety, the Audi A3 is a compact luxury car that leaves a big impression.

Now the A3 can add another award to the growing list...

Audi recently created a 360-degree gif of the Audi RS7 using pumpkin cameras. Check out the link below to see the eerie images created using lens-less exposure.

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…

Like other automakers out there, Audi is developing self-driving cars in the hope of making driving safer. Of course, the concept of a car that drives itself doesn't necessarily seem safer to drivers who are used to always being in charge.
