Zurich is the second destination worldwide to have its own Audi charging hub. The concept is based on ‘charging cubes’ – modular containers that, in addition to a quick-charging infrastructure, contain refurbished lithium-ion batteries (second-life batteries) made from disassembled development vehicles. Consequently, the charging hub requires no elaborate, expensive infrastructure with a high-voltage grid and transformers, but it is more than just a charging station, offering a sustainable quick-charging infrastructure where the local power grid would prove insufficient. The four charging points at the entrance to Messe Zürich’s parking garage each output up to 320 kW. This electrifying event was celebrated with numerous guests, media representatives, Audi ambassadors and Audi experts – true to its motto “One small step for Audi, one giant leap for the sustainable mobility of the future”.

 

With the competition edition and competition edition plus packages, Audi is expanding its attractive and comprehensive range of customized equipment for the A4 and A5 and the S4 and S5. In addition to Matrix LED headlights (equipment-dependent) and numerous add-on parts in high-gloss black, the new finishes Chronos Gray Metallic, Ascari Blue Metallic and District Green Metallic expand the array of colors for both series.

 
Sporty yet elegant
In order to ideally stage both edition packages, which are based on the S line and the S model respectively, Audi is painting the following add-on parts in high-gloss black: the radiator grille, the stone chip protection strip (only on the A4), the air intakes along with the clips, the diffuser, and the tailpipes. The Singleframe radiator grille, the four rings in the front and rear, the side mirrors (only in combination with the plus package), the design element below the A-pillar, and the rear spoiler are also painted high-gloss black (not for the A5 Cabriolet or A4 Avant with RS roof edge spoiler). On the S model, the model designation in the radiator grille also comes in black and red. For the Audi A5 Cabriolet, the windshield frame, window slot trim, trim on the side windows, and the trim on the top case lid remain as characteristic features in distinctive, elegant chrome. All S models as well as the A4 and A5 with the S line package feature dark chromed exhaust tips. The Audi S5 Cabriolet is the exception: it always arrives with glossy black exhaust tips.

In conjunction with the competition edition plus package, customers will also receive the following features at a discount: black side mirrors, the entry-level LED logo projection with the rhombus/S logo, the ambient light package, red brake calipers (only for cars with 150 kW and more), and the “Audi Rings” decal in Brilliant Black for the rear doors (lower side panel on the A5 Coupé and Cabriolet. Usually only available on RS models, smoked head lamp covers are available for the first time on A4 and S4 models with Matrix LED headlights as well as on Audi A5 and S5 models with Matrix LED headlights and Audi Laser Light as additional high beams.

The new competition edition and competition edition plus packages will be available in Germany from January 2023. Prices start at 950 euros for the A4 and S4 and 1,450 euros for the A5 and S5. The competition edition plus packages are available for 2,450 euros for the A4 and S4, and 3,150 euros for the A5 and S5.

The RS 3 performance edition, the sportiest compact model from Audi Sport, is fast and a true street artist. Developed for maximum performance, the special edition boasts 299 kW (407 PS) of power and a top speed of 300 km/h (186 mph). In addition to well-known top technologies like the RS torque splitter and ceramic brakes, it has RS bucket seats for optimized lateral support and a whole host of exclusive design elements.

 
 
The RS 3 performance edition runs on semi-slick Pirelli P Zero “Trofeo R” tires as standard equipment – 265/35 on the front axle, 245/35 on the rear. Due to their specific rubber compound and asymmetrical tread, these performance tires offer particularly high grip in dry conditions, thus increasing stability and lateral grip. In keeping with their characteristics, the semi-slicks are mounted on cast aluminum wheels in motorsport design. The 19 inch rims in dark gray matte, exclusively available on the special model, have a striking design with ten cross‑spokes and display the RS branding. Behind it, the standard six-piston ceramic brake takes a firm grip. Their discs on the front axle measure 380 x 38 mm (15 x 1.5 in.). The high-performance brake system, with a specially adapted pedal curve on the brake booster, is ten kilograms (22 lbs) lighter and more heat-resistant than the steel brakes. The reduction in unsprung masses brings advantages in highly dynamic applications. The rear axle has a floating caliper with 310 x 22 mm (12.2 x 0.9 in.) single-piece steel discs. The brake calipers are painted blue to match the specific interior.
 

Exclusivity and dynamism made visible

The special model shows its leading position in the RS 3 portfolio with a wide range of new design‑elements and equipment: in addition to the motorsport-design wheels and the RS‑sports exhaust system with black tailpipe trims, the Audi rings and the RS 3 badge on the front and rear are also black. This is in perfect harmony with the particular finishes on the RS 3 performance edition: these include the pearl-effect colors Nogaro Blue, Arrow Gray and Daytona Gray as well as Sebring Black Crystal Effect and Glacier White Metallic.

Perfection down to the smallest detail is also visible in the light. The standard Matrix LED headlights with darkened bezels and the LED taillights feature a dynamic flashing light and RS‑specific staging when unlocking and locking. When the RS 3 performance edition is opened, the digital daytime running light, consisting of 15 LED segments, displays the “checkered flag” on the passenger side and the “3‑0-0” on the driver side – based on the limited number of units and a top speed of 300 km/h (186 mph). Upon closing, “R-S-3” lettering appears in the pixel field below the main headlight instead of the “3-0-0.” While driving, the checkered flag lights up on both sides as a daytime running light. Another distinguishing feature is an entrance LED in the front doors: it projects “#RS performance” onto the ground next to the car.

The special model also shows its exclusivity in the interior. For the first time in the RS 3*, bucket seats are available as standard equipment, ensuring outstanding lateral support during dynamic cornering. Like the outer rear seats, the seat center panel also has contrasting blue honeycomb stitching. The material used for this is Dinamica microfiber fabric, which is combined with pearl Nappa leather on the side bolsters. Below the headrest, the black funnel aperture incorporates large RS lettering and, like the Carbon matte back of the seat back, emphasizes the sporty character of the special model. In addition to the full-surface blue belt straps, the contrast stitching on the center armrest, the door armrests, and the steering wheel are also in blue. The same applies to the floor mats and the trunk mat in black Velour, which also features RS lettering. For better orientation during sporty driving, the Alcantara steering wheel, which is flattened at the bottom, features a 12 o’clock marking – also in blue.

Specifically in the special model, the background image on the 10.1 inch touch display has a carbon look and shows the characteristic 2.5 TFSI 1-2-4-5-3 firing sequence. The RS monitor also integrates displays of coolant temperature, engine and transmission oil, g-forces, and tire pressures. At the same time, the Audi virtual cockpit plus provides information on performance-related data, such as lap times, g-forces, and acceleration in seconds from 0‑100 km/h (62 mph), 0‑200 km/h (124 mph), quarter mile, and eighth mile.

AUDI AG and the Linz-based green tech company Krajete GmbH are jointly developing new technologies for filtering emissions from ambient air. In addition to robust adsorber materials, these so-called direct air capturing technologies (DAC) are based, above all, on innovative processes. They make far-reaching energy and cost reductions possible.

In a pilot project, Audi is working with supplier MANN+HUMMEL to develop a particulate filter for electric cars that collects particulate matter from the surrounding area. Both while driving and charging, it is to already help improve air quality in cities during a first pilot phase. The innovative technology will be demonstrated at the GREENTECH FESTIVAL in London.
