Audi Proposes R8 Spyder Car Cover for Unhappy BMW and Mercedes Owners

From the creators of last year's R8 V10 garage door decal promo, comes this new advertising project for Audi. This time, creative advertising agency Lowe Roche, came up with a groovy Audi R8 Spyder car cover aimed at BMW and Mercedes-Benz owners who are disappointed with their vehicles, as well as the rest of us who can't afford [...] Ingolstadt's flagship roadster model.

Here's the description from Lowe Roche's webpage: "Don’t have an Audi R8 Spyder? Now you can pretend to have one. Trick your neighbors, and best of all, trick yourself into thinking you have the car of your dreams. Perfect for the BMW or Mercedes owner in your life filled with regret."

Is it just me, or does the wording make the description sound overly conceited?

Unholy Tuning: Audi R8 Sedan Based on A8 Limo

If you were ever wondering what an actuall Audi R8 sports sedan would look like, sorry to say, you're out of luck. However, if by any twisted chance you're interested in finding out what would happen if a first-generation A8 and R8 got naughty in bed, scroll down and check out the rest of the photos. According to the forum members of the Audizine site, the R8-wannabe sports sedan was snagged outside Hooters (now, why aren't we surprised...) in Montreal, Canada.

Audi R8

The Audi R8 has been in production for almost four years now, so it is certainly time for the convertible version to make its debut. The Audi R8 convertible has been spied on the set of Iron Man 2 being driven by Robert Downey Jr. in California. The car is set to debut later this month at the Frankfurt Auto Show.

A 10 cylinder engine is expected to debut in the uber Audi for 2010, so we can expect improved performance figures over the current V8 powered Audi R8. The Audi R8 currently produces 420 horsepower which it sends to all four wheels through a six speed manual transmission and will reach 187 mph. The V10 should be able to push the R8's top speed closer to 200 mph.

Celebrities that have been seen driving the R8 like Robert Downey Jr, Jay Leno, Seal, Reggie Bush, Hugh Grant, Jimmy Rollins and Zac Efron.

Audi A5, Audi R8 Sales Increase

Audi today announced sales for the month of January totaling 4,722 units, a decrease from record January sales in 2008. Audi predicts its share of the U.S. luxury vehicle market will increase when all January 2009 sales reports come in compared to year-earlier results.

The Audi A5 posted a 76.3% increase over last January with 603 units sold in January 2009. The Audi R8 broke its January sales record with over 107 units sold, an increase of 75.4% over January's sales a year ago.

Despite the challenging market, Audi Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) sales increased over this time last year, with 2,599 units sold this January.
