2007 ACNA Raffle - George Randolph Wins the Audi TT!
George Randolph of Alexandria, Virginia is one lucky guy. As the winner in Audi Club North America’s 2007 Membership Drive Contest, George will be behind the wheel of a brand new beautiful Audi TT Coupe. George was thrilled to hear the news. “I’ve been in the military for 31 years and had one assignment in Germany. At that time, my colleagues and I would check out the German cars and saw that they were made to go all out on the autobahn. I shifted from Mercedes 15 years ago and never looked back. Audi has the edge…size, price, style. I’ve enjoyed everything the club has provided, I absolutely love Audis. This is the best club you can have.”
Audi R8 - The Making of a New Icon
Talk about blockbusters!
Audi has built what will be the next big icon of its more than 100 year history. The TT was hands down the most iconic car at the end of the 20th century. Within the first decade of the 21st century, Audi has created another, the R8. How many other automotive manufacturers can brag about having two such important vehicles in such a short period of time?
The major automotive manufacturers seem to regard sports cars as their brand icons. For example, Mercedes and the 300 SL Gullwing, BMW M1 and Z8, Ford GT-40, Chevrolet Corvette, Dodge Viper, Nissan 240Z, Porsche 911, Jaguar XKE, Toyota 2000 GT, and the recent Acura NSX. Each of these cars came to symbolize the essence of the brand. In most of these cases, the image of the icon has endured long into the future products of the company.
Audi has recently restored earlier icons such as the Silver Arrow cars of the 1930s to carry forward the genetic history.
Looking at the fall 2003 quattro quarterly issue recently, the Le Mans quattro concept car was on the front cover. I had compiled a story on this stunning show car and hoped in my heart that it would be built. Dr. Martin Winterkorn, now the head of VW, made this project his personal passion and saw it through into production.
In late January, Audi put together a rollout for this model in Las Vegas for journalists from around the world. I drove up from Los Angeles in a borrowed A8 W12 to spend several days testing this car. Charles Moyer, Automotive Editor of Chronos magazine shared most of the time in the cars with me. We took turns driving over many hundreds of miles of Nevada back roads, Las Vegas city streets, and multiple laps at a course set up at Las Vegas Motor speedway. On the second evening, I drove an R-tronic and magnetic suspension equipped car. And what did I think?

Quattro Quarterly Preview: Formula RS4
(QQ, Summer 2006) — The automotive market offers a plethora of choices. If you have the money, there is the car. Even if you do not have the money, witness the popularity of leasing vehicles, which lets you drive twice the car you can afford. All of the premium segment brands have offerings to suit almost any automotive taste. There are far more offerings than buyers as witnessed by how tough the competition is for the manufacturers, competing with each other for the buyer dollar. This competition is delivering to us some special cars.
How to stand above the crowd and deliver a superb vehicle? Create a formula of outstanding performance in many parameters, well balanced across the spectrum of drivers' needs, set in a practical everyday ackage, built with the finest materials and craftsmanship, and featuring the most cutting edge of technological breakthroughs in many of the areas needed to push the envelope. This is the formula for the RS4.
Given the success of the Audi AG driving schools in Barcelona for the past two summers, does it come as a surprise that this year's event would be any different? In summer 2003 Audi AG got the excitement going by putting the driving school students in the newly released V8-powered S4. Last year, students piloted the 2005 TT 3.2 DSG. And this year, students had the great pleasure of sitting behind the steering wheel of the 2006 preproduction RS4. It was a privilege to "play"? with the most powerful 4 series platform Audi available to date. This year's event was different, however, in that it raised the bar for driver school experience.
