Senner Tuning launches first round of upgrades for Audi A1


German firm Senner Tuning has released a new line of styling and performance enhancements for the freshly introduced Audi A1 supermini with the 1.6 TDI diesel engine. The tuner starts by massaging the 1.6-liter diesel with a recalibrated ECU, boosting output from 105HP to 140HP. Peak torque also climbs from 250Nm to 310Nm.
A new sports exhaust system with a pair of 90 mm tail pipes and an upgraded KW suspension kit is also part of the package, while the car's stance is made more aggressive with a set of 18-inch Barracuda Voltec T6 light alloy wheels wrapped in 225/35 R18 Hankook S1 rubber.
The inside can also be revamped with numerous trim options and custom leather upholstery.



APS Sportec Builds 425HP Audi S5, as fast as RS5 in 0-62mph sprint


Last time we checked (as in a few minutes ago on the UK, US and German sites), the S5 Coupe continues to use Audi's venerable 4.2-liter V8 with 354HP, while the S5 Convertible comes with a 333HP 3.0-liter supercharged V6. Nevertheless, APS, the UK-based importer of the Swiss tuning brand Sportec, has released a performance upgrade for the S5 Coupe and Convertible with the... 3.0 TSI V6.
In any case, labeled "Stage One", the Swiss tuner's performance package for Audi's 3.0 TSI V6 consists of a free flowing air filter element and an ECU remap. While it doesn't sound like much, it manages to squeeze another 97-horsepower out of the S5's (convertible) 3.0-liter V6 unit, boosting total output from 328 bhp and 440 Nm (325 lb.ft) to an RS5-rivaling 425 bhp at 6,640 rpm and 520 Nm (379 lb.ft) at 4,250 rpm.
Sportec says the upgrade trims 0-62mph (100km/h) acceleration by 0.5 seconds to 4.6 seconds (same as RS5 Coupe) while top speed is electronically limited at 155 mph (250km/h).
The Stage One upgrade is available now in the UK from APS Sportec priced at £1,950 fitted including VAT.

SCOOP: 2011 Audi A6 Sedan Spied in the wild


Here are some spy shots of Audi's next-generation A6, which is scheduled for launch next year. While it's still pretty well wrapped up in swirls, we can assume that the car will essentially be and a less-"designer" A7 Sportback with a trunk; the student has become the master (and quickly!). Since we already know what the A7 will look like, it doesn't take much imagination to see where the A6 will go from there.
The stylish A7 does a damn fine job of being a 4-door, 4-seat coupe while also being a hatchback (and embarrassing BMW's 5GT), which leads me to believe that the next A6 will be a nice-looking 5-seat evolution of Audi's large mid-sizer.
The engine lineup will include the usual suspects, trickling down from the CLS-killer A7 and up from the A4: a 204-horse 2.8 FSI as a base gasoline V6, a supercharged 300-horsepower 3.0TFSI as the sporty gasoline V6, and two 3.0 liter V6 TDIs. Smaller, more efficient engines will be available as well (depending on the market of course), including turbocharged diesel and gasoline 2.0-liter inline-4s, and even a hybrid.
Quattro and FWD will be available across the range, as well as a 6-speed manual, 7-speed S Tronic (DSG), or 8-speed automatic transmission depending on engine choice.
A top-line S6 is rumored to bring some form of big-power V8. Lastly, the madman RS6 will no doubt be built by quattro somewhere down the line to take on the M5 and AMG's E. From what we've heard, chances are Audi will drop the current V10 unit in favor of a smaller, lighter, and greener but equally, if not even more powerful, force-fed V8.
