Audi A4

The Audi A4 is a compact executive car produced by the German automaker Audi AG since late 1994. The initial generation A4 succeeded the four previous generations of the Audi 80.
Since its inception, the Audi A4 has been available in four generations, based on the Volkswagen Group ‘B’ series of automobile platforms – usually known by the following codes – the initial B5, the subsequent B6 and B7, and the current B8.

The new Audi A4 is the first in a new generation of Audis (A5, R8 included) that have learned how to ride. A wonderfully engineered bit of kit that still manages to be just that little bit boring.
Model tested: Audi A4 2.0 TDi SE
Price as tested: £23,200 (£19,900 – £32,990)
Insurance group as tested: 12E (12E – 16E)
CO2 emissions as tested: 144g/km (Band C, £120)
CO2 emissions range: 144 – 220g/km
Company car tax %: 19%
EuroNCAP result: *****
Date tested: June 2008
Road tester: Stuart Milne
Auto Trader Ten Point Test rating: 85%
Audi is a car maker on the up. Its products are some of the most revered on the market, and have an ever-increasing army of loyal fans.
The Audi A4 is now in its fourth generation, with this all-new model. Audi says its junior executive saloon has the longest wheelbase in its class and is offered with a range of six engines.
We spent a week with an Audi A4 to see if it can compete with the likes of the BMW 3 Series and Mercedes C-Class.
Rarely does such a conservative-looking car turn so many heads. That probably had a lot to do with the optional strip of LED daytime running lights stretching across each headlight, which are particularly eye-catching. The fourth generation Audi A4 certainly has more design flair than previous models, with sweeping lines along the sides which are a nod to its coupe brother, the Audi A5. We can’t help wondering if Audi could have injected a little more style, without going to the extremes of the radical looking BMW range.
8/10

The Audi A4′s cabin is certainly one of the car’s high points. It has refined what it has learned from years of designing handsome but functional interiors to create a space round the driver, for a feeling that the car is all about driving, and the raised centre console features a menu system surrounding the gearstick. The heart of this is a rotary dial, but unlike BMW’s iDrive system, Audi uses a number of shortcut buttons to allow quick and easy access to the various menus via a colour screen in easy eyesight of the driver. This keeps the inevitable clutter of buttons to a minimum. Audi has also employed a series of silver inserts to add some extra spice to the look.

Zenvo ST1 – Review,Design ,And Technical Specifications

 Review

The ST1 is a prototype of a supercar created by Danish company Zenvo. It features an aggressive racing-like design, is powered by a 7.0 liter V8 engine and can reach a top speed of 375 km/h. It will be hand built in a limited series of 15 units
Created by Danish company Zenvo, the ST1 is powered by a 7.0 liter V8 engine with more than 1,100 hp and a max torque of 1430Nm. These impressive figures allow for a top speed exceeding 375 km/h and a projected 0-100 km/h time of 3 seconds. 

The research and development of the concept started in 2004. The final prototype has now been completed and the car has entered it’s last stages of performance testing, where according to Zenvo it has achieved a 0-100 km/h time of 3.2 seconds and a 0-200 km/h time of 8.9 seconds. Zenvo plans to start a limited series production of 15 units within 2009.

Design

Zenvo ST1 Design Sketch

The design of the ST1 was developed by Hermann & Brandt Design studio. The brief was to design a sportscar with an aggressive mix of typical supercar styling cues and race car elements.Started with the first rough sketches in August 2006, the final design was approved in February 2008.The design of the car is made from free flowing accelerating lines creating the shape of the wheel arches, the roof line, side line and the lower side air intake.The sharp lines are connected by muscular organic surfacing creating dramatic reflections. Contrasting the general surfacing the design features a race car inspired lower carbon splitter.The front is designed around the hexagonal trademark Zenvo grille flanked by the large front air intakes used for brakes and engine cooling. The intakes are raked back to minimize drag and at the same time making the side impression of the car more compact.The theme of the front is repeated in the rear which is designed around the big diffuser necessary for high speed stability.

Zenvo ST1 Interiore

As on the front the center volume is flanked by large air exits extracting hot engine air as well as housing the exhaust and rear lights.The rear spoiler mandatory for a car capable of extreme high speeds is partly integrated in the rear wing. It has a unique aerodynamic design following the raked shape of the rear end.
