Audi UK to attend the annual meet for Audi owners with a breathtaking line-up of past and present cars

  • Long-established Audi owner and enthusiast show takes place this weekend on Saturday, 17 October at Castle Combe race circuit
  • Audi UK out in force with a total of 1547 PS on display from the current stable of models, comprising the TTS Coupe and Roadster, RS6 Avant and RS 3 Sportback
  • 1970 Le Mans 24 hour winner and former Grand Prix racer Richard Attwood will pilot the RS 3 Sportback on track laps offering high-octane passenger rides
  • Two recently acquired cherished examples, a 1968 Audi 80 Variant and 1990 Audi V8, join the 2013 Le Mans-winning R18 e-tron quattro
  • Gates open to the public from 8.30am to 5.30pm – admission costs just £10 per adult and children enter free of charge

In less than three days, one of the largest and most eagerly anticipated shows in the Audi enthusiast calendar opens its doors at Wiltshire’s Castle Combe Race Circuit. Organised by Audi Driver Magazine, and supported by Audi UK, the annual Audi Driver International event treats owners and fans of the four rings to a packed programme of immersive activities, and also plays host to an impressive array of modern and historic machinery representing the very best of Vorsprung durch Technik through the years.

On display this year in front of the familiar Audi UK hospitality unit will be some of the hottest stars of the S and RS stable, including the 560 PS RS 6 Avant, the 310 PS TTS in both Coupe and Roadster form and the all-new RS 3 Sportback, which with a 367PS output is notable as the most powerful five-cylinder production car in the brand’s history.

These proven powerhouses will sit alongside a selection of their forebears, including two recent acquisitions that have been welcomed into the Audi UK heritage fleet.

They are a 3.6-litre Audi V8 quattro first registered in 1990 and an immaculately presented 1968 Audi 80 Variant – notable as a member of the F103 series which was the first model range to be sold in the United Kingdom wearing the Audi badge. This particular example is thought to be one of only two UK specification Variants still in existence. Also on display will be the Le Mans-winning R18 e-tron quattro, driven to victory in 2013 by Audi legends Tom Kristensen, Loic Duval and Allan McNish.

One secret of the enduring appeal of Audi Driver International is the fact that it offers the opportunity for owners to drive their own cars on track, ensuring that spectators will be able to revel in the sight, and not inconsiderable sound, of some of the fastest and most powerful Audi models in the UK and Europe being put through their paces. Joining them on circuit will be former Le Mans winner Richard Attwood, who will get behind the wheel of the latest quattro-driven RS 3 Sportback, and will no doubt spare very few of its 367 ‘horses’ as he treats some lucky passengers* to unforgettable taxi rides on the challenging circuit.

Low-speed parade laps are also scheduled at various times throughout the day for drivers and spectators, culminating in a grand finale session where participants are invited to take to the track in a spectacular finishing cavalcade.

Additional attractions at the circuit will include various trade and exhibitor stands, an array of Audi owners club displays, an autojumble, technical forum, and of course the hotly contested Show’n’Shine and Concours d’Elegance events.

Continuing into the evening, a reception will be hosted by Swindon Audi at their Centre ahead of a gala dinner and presentation of the Annual Audi Driver Awards, followed by a disco and bar.



Further details of all the individual attractions can be found on the website at www.audidriverinternational.co.uk, by contacting 01525 750 500 during office hours or via the following e-mail: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. .

Spectators are welcome at Castle Combe during the day. The gates are open to the public from 8.30 am to 5.00 pm and admission costs just £10 per adult (children free of charge). To comply with circuit regulations, dogs are unfortunately not permitted within the compound.

New versions of RS 6 Avant and RS 7 Sportback bring power and performance even closer to supercar levels

  • New RS 6 and RS 7 performance variants to supplement existing models available from November priced at £86,000 OTR and £91,600 OTR
  • First deliveries in February 2016
  • 4.0 TFSI uprated by 45PS to 605PS, new overboost function offers on-demand torque increase of 50Nm to 750Nm
  • 0 to 62mph in 3.7 seconds, top speed of up to 189mph
  • Best-in-class economy is undiminished by performance enhancements

A new peak is about to be reached in the Audi RS range as RS 6 Avant and RS 7 Sportback ‘performance’ models join their existing and already formidable counterparts and ramp power up to a colossal 605PS and torque to up to 750Nm. Despite doing even greater justice to the RS badge by translating their 45PS and 50Nm output advantages into a supercar-challenging sprint time of just 3.7 seconds, the new RS performance models retain the same best-in-class fuel economy and efficiency figures as their ‘standard’ equivalents.

Available to order in the UK from November, and scheduled for first deliveries here next February, the RS 6 Avant performance will be priced at £86,000 OTR and the RS 7 Sportback performance at £91,600 OTR. The 4.0-litre TFSI engine at the heart of both bolsters its 605PS output with a 700Nm torque peak which can be temporarily increased by the driver to 750Nm by way of an overboost function.

The two RS high-performance models sprint from 0 to 62mph in just 3.7 seconds, an improvement of 0.2 seconds over the respective standard RS model, and need just 12.1 seconds to accelerate from 0 to 124mph, giving them a 1.4-second advantage. In each case the governed 155mph top speed can be increased as an option to 174mph, or 189mph if the dynamic package plus is specified.

Despite the 45PS output boost, the sonorous V8 biturbo power unit returns up to 29.4mpg in the RS 6 Avant performance and 29.7mpg in the RS 7 Sportback performance, corresponding to 223 and 221 g/km of CO2.

Engineering expertise gathered by Audi and quattro GmbH over many years of RS model development has been invested in the upgraded 4.0 TFSI, from the specific engine management system with increased rpm and boost pressure to the Audi cylinder on demand (COD) system, which only activates four of the eight cylinders when under part load.

The standard eight-speed tiptronic transmission has been designed to maximise the potential of the even more extreme engine in both the new RS 6 Avant performance and the new RS 7 Sportback performance. The driver can choose between the modes D and S or change gears manually either by tapping the selector lever or by using the shift paddles on the RS multifunction sport leather steering wheel. In manual mode, a shift indicator in the driver information system or optional head-up display indicates the rev limit.

quattro with sport differential

quattro permanent all-wheel drive delivers the power to the road and flexibly distributes torque as needed via the centre differential. In the standard configuration, 40 per cent flows to the front axle and 60 per cent to the rear. The wheel-selective torque control intervenes as necessary. A sport differential acting on the rear axle is also standard, and enables active torque distribution between the inside and outside wheel.

With its dynamic set-up, the standard RS adaptive air suspension lowers the body of the RS 6 Avant performance and RS 7 Sportback performance by 20 millimetres. The integrated damping control varies as a function of the road conditions, driving style and the mode chosen in Audi drive select. As an alternative, the tauter RS sports suspension plus with Dynamic Ride Control (DRC) is also available, and both set-ups can be complemented by optional dynamic steering with a continuously variable steering ratio.

The driver can modulate the function of key components using Audi drive select, including the steering, engine and sound management, the tiptronic transmission and the sport differential. The RS performance models, like the all-new R8 sports car, make the Audi drive select configuration process even quicker and easier by enabling the driver to switch between the auto, comfort, dynamic and individual modes without taking eyes off the road using a special button on the RS multifunction sport leather steering wheel.

In both RS performance models, 21 inch cast aluminium wheels channel the exceptional output with the help of 285/30 tyres in the RS 6 Avant performance and 275/30 tyres in the RS 7 Sportback performance. The four internally ventilated brake discs have a weight-saving wave design, and can be replaced by carbon fibre-ceramic discs as an option.

Striking design details reinforce the preeminent position of the two new RS performance models. These include the accentuated bumpers with large air inlets up front and the heavily profiled diffuser insert at the rear, the gloss black honeycomb grille typical of the RS models and the flared side sills.

The RS performance-specific exterior is distinguished by a quattro logo on the air inlet duct and matt titanium-look detailing. RS super sports seats with pronounced side bolsters and integrated head restraints are standard, and are upholstered in a black and blue Alcantara and leather combination with a honeycomb pattern and matching stitching on the armrests which also extends to the control elements and floor mats. The knee pads are also finished in Alcantara and the inlays in carbon with blue thread. This sophisticated and exclusive carbon material is interwoven with a blue thread

The LED rear lights are innovative brake lights and tail lights featuring long-lasting LED light sources.

They indicate to other road users when the vehicle is braking, reversing or signalling to turn, and they are highly visible in fog thanks to their light intensity.

Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) have a whole series of technical advantages over conventional bulbs. The most important of these are their quick reaction times and long service life.

Seeing the brake lights of the car ahead sooner can reduce a driver’s stopping distance, by around 5.5 metres for instance when braking from a speed of 100 km/h (all other conditions being the same). The light-emitting diodes last an entire vehicle life, consume up to 50 percent less energy and take up less space.
