Wearing a migrane-inducing camo pattern, the RS6 is distinguished by fenders that push out wider to handle larger wheels and a rear diffuser that houses a pair of oval tailpipes. As the linked article indicates, while the S model sports four round tips, RS models stand out with these oval pipes. There was no mention of what may power the RS6, though it needs to be pretty hot motor to best the detuned V10 from the Lamborghini Gallardo that powers the S6. We've heard rumors of a twin-turbo version of the V10 producing between 500 and 550 horsepower.

The HH on the license plates and preproduction status of the R8 suggest this is a car owned by quattro GmbH. Note also some details pointed out by Nightranger. The side blade intake is rounded out for greater airflow to the motor. Also, a new sideskirt design on this particular R8 is similar in design to the skirts on the S5.

Audi's again taken the high-concept route with a new costume-drama spot to launch its $109,000 R8. The narrative finds a new R8 racing through four milestone eras in Audi's motorsport history: The 1930's Auto Union, the 1960's aluminum-construction period, the late-1970's Quattro and the present-day Le Mans diesel.

What is the ultimate car for all seasons?
How about the Porsche Carrera 4S Cabrio?
Think about it! One of the best all-wheel-drive systems ever invented by man, astounding handling, luxury on a scale achieved by less than a score of other all-wheel drivers on the market plus 32 mpg (8.7L/100 km) on the highway as you commute to work in the next blizzard.

The Passat BlueMotion, which will be available in sedan and wagon forms, is, as you’d expect, a little thirstier than the Polo, but not much: VW claims the Passat sedan consumes 5.1 liters of diesel in 100 kilometers, which works out to 46 mpg. The company says a driver who travels 15,000 kilometers a year—or 9320 miles—would have to visit the local filling station just 11 times. “No other vehicle this size,” says Volkswagen, “consumes less fuel.”
