Buyers considering used cars in New Jersey may soon see electric version of Audi R8

By Admin

F1 drivers have been using regenerative braking technology to add power to their supercars this season, and rumors are circulating that buyers looking at used cars in New Jersey may see an Audi sports car with similar technology at this year’s Frankfurt Auto Show.

An Audi R8 ePerformance would include an all-electric motor and a new look incorporating a smaller grille and redesigned headlights, reported Automobile Magazine in France.

The car would also likely do away with the side scoops used by the current R8 to bring air to the large V8 and V10 gasoline engines that presently power the super car.

While an electric car may improve fuel efficiency for former guzzlers like high-horsepower sports cars, a used Audi A6 in New Jersey may offer better fuel numbers and room for more passengers.

The sedan comes standard with all-wheel drive and “heavenly cabin furnishings,” and while it won’t be as powerful as an R8, it does come with an optional 335-horsepower V8, according to Edmunds.com.

Super Bowl car ads increase online traffic

It seems that advertising during the Super Bowl does get a lot of attention for a company. At least that’s what Kelly Blue Book says, as the website saw increases to the page views of Hyundai, Audi and Toyota following their ads in Sunday’s game.

The Hyundai Genesis, which was also recently named Cars.com’s Car of the Year, received the most interest with an 82 percent increase in page views following its ads during the game.

Audi’s commercial for the A6, featuring Jason Statham, caused a 45 percent increase and the Toyota Venzia saw a 13 percent rise.

The action-packed Audi ad received positive reviews from critics after what many say were a number of lackluster ads during the game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Arizona Cardinals.

In fact, people who liked the ad can even purchase the 1987 BMW 535 i that was one of the cars Statham drove. It appears that the owner is selling the car online for $2,000.

Jason Statham stars in Audi Super Bowl ad

Audi will be one of the few car makers to run an ad during this year’s Super Bowl broadcast with a spot starring action star Jason Statham who said he’s happy to be the face of the brand.

The 60 second advertisement which will air during the first quarter of Sunday’s game will show the Transporter star attempting to make getaways in recreations of movie scenes from different decades.

All the attempts fail as the cars from past eras cannot handle the action, sending Statham flying through billboards and crashing into sidewalks. It’s not until he gets into the new Audi A6 that Statham successfully makes his getaway.

“I’m quite happy to put my face up against a brand that I believe in and that I drive around in anyway,” Statham told USA Today.

Because Audi is one of only three car makers who will be seen during the advertising of the Super Bowl, the company says it expects to gain an advantage on competitors.

“Last year’s spot sent the message that Audi was truly redefining luxury. This year’s spot will ensure that everyone realizes that Audi is the best choice, period,” said Scott Keogh, chief marketing officer of Audi of America.
