Audi A4 TDI Concept e Consumes 3.99 liters/100 km (58.95 US MPG)

It's not a hybrid. A hybrid uses the recovered energy stored in the batteries to power the car. This car just recharges the battery with the otherwise "wasted" energy.

diesel engines from VW have always been the best on the market according to all auto magazines, not cause of power but efficiency. I never heard anyone complaining about their VW or Audi

ipsesnipse, maybe it will be more interesting if the auto magazine do long-term test, from brand new car and test it until it reach 25000km would be informative

Do BMW make those efficient dynamic parts, like start-stop and brake regeneration...NO! Why don't you credit Bosch you monkey.

Designed by BMW, outsourced by others, who cares who makes them it is in the end a BMW product that's created and designed by BMW. Do you think BMW makes mtal and crude oil? NO! it comes from the earth you pig!

Umh... brake force recovery, stop-start, electric water pump etc are just general ways of improving a cars efficiency, nothing that only BMW would be entitled to, nor was it the first one to implement them ( though a pioneer in installing them on non-hybrid cars )

Audi made Lamborghini so much better looking. And if you think the opposite, you have a very weird taste. Lambo's from Murcielago and forward finally could take on Ferraris and other cars. Not like that old tanks Diablo etc. Good work AUDI!

oh without a doubt man without a doubt. i'm talking about the Estoque..my bad for not being specific. that's why i was so surprized... if they can make such EPIC cars like the gallardo, LP640, and the murcielago... why can't they make a half decent looking 4 door estoque??

Look at those sorry ass lights? Smudged crying sad ass! So ugly!

agreed. bmw designs nowadays are really going for my grandma's taste. take the X1 as a fine example.

I don't think so. Start up a BMW Diesel and compare that to the Audi diesels, especially the 2.0 TDI and you'll hear that clutter that you can only get rid of by revving the engine. BMW and Merc has the most refined Diesel in the segment. Audi's diesel is just from VW, like those ones from Ford, Opel, etc. Nowhere near the class of BM and MB....Keep dreaming

AMEN, BROTHER, AMEN!!!!!

Hey, I said that to Metatron not to that asshole of GPKH!!!!

haha Audinator, just becasue we are stating the truth about Audi's inferior stance and its BMW want to be attitude, you don't have to be so upset and call people assholes. By doing that, your VW's Audi brand will not rise above the Kings of this segment. But I guess we need people like you to keep the Audi brand alive, or else how is everyone else going to see just how superior BMW is without comparing to Audi! Keep the candle burning bro

The only thing that is going to burn is your facking ass you !diot!!!!

man,Audi belongs to VW ;)

Not only that, they re VW and use VW stuff, just add an Audi badge to try and makemoney from fools. Look at their brakes nd all that. It's got about 4 logos on it: Audi VW, Seat, Skoda. This is actually such disguisting money making, customer fooling scheme. I feel sorry for those who are fooled into buying a VW bagded Aud - no class, heritage ad prestige. That's why they are trying to follow BMW so much, to catch onto BMW's class acts. little tail!

BMW got most awards: in terms of engine award, BMW takes it almost every year. I have not seen an Audi win it. and if you are going to come with arguement that VW enters the competition, then it just proves that Audi uses VW engine.. haha. Nor have I seen VW winning engine awards (the main one). BMW won most international car of the year and designs of the year. Green matters also BMW's. that's why most people choose BMW and not VW's Audi. My issue is with Audi supporters who try to push their brand into the premium segment when clearly they are just VWs Offering a better maintenance plan and service and charging higher prices than VW do not make your car a premium car. If you need some convincing, go back to the top of the page and have a look at that ugly tail end of the A4.

BMW's 4 wheel drive system is more than 30 years old, get your facts straight. In fact BMW's 4 wheel drive system is far superior than that of Audi's so called quattro which is the same system as VW. BMW's 4 wheel drive can change different wheel powers (look at the X6) and is far more intelligent than Audi's. As for MMI, BMW came up with the iDrive concept first, guess who just copied that and put buttons around it? no BMW's iDrive is fingertip control not as clumsy and ugly looking as the MMI system. By the way, most BMW drivers are young and are pofessionals, this means that they have certain education. If you cannot work the iDrive out, then you probably don't qualify to drive a BMW. In actual fact, that is the case and now Adui comes out with a more button system which defeats the whole purpose of concentrating on the road by haveing the driver to look down at the buttons. How about this: Audi copied BMW's iDrive, LED tail-lights, front light differentiation, tries to copy design, even rear wheel drive with their Quattro that offer 60% to rear wheels - even though they are always saying that front wheel drive is better! eating their own words! The point is that you can also dress up and put make up on but Audi will always be a VW.
