Many car and Audi enthusiasts have been complaining about Audi not bringing the RS6 Avant to America, including yours truly.  I guess we’ll just have to settle for the 2014 Audi RS7 Sportback because Audi said it’s coming to North America.  Yay!

The Audi RS7 Sportback looks like it really means business and onlookers should be able to tell there is something special about this car.  The car backs up its looks with some serious muscle under the hood.  The RS7 is powered by a 4.0 liter TFSI V8 engine producing 560 horsepower (412 kW) and 516 pound-feet (700 Nm) of torque.  Power is sent to all four wheels with Audi’s Quattro AWD system via an 8-speed automatic transmission.

There’s nothing wrong with the looks of the stock Audi A3 Sportback but the S3 Sportback is much more sexy. If you’re an A3 Sportback owner and are looking to upgrade to a more agressive look like the S3 but don’t want to cough up the money, consider the package being offered by ABT Sportsline for the latest Audi A3 Sportback. And if you are looking to also get S3 power out of the A3 Sportback, this kit won’t be the solution…for now.

German tuners from ABT Sportsline have a number of modifications available in their kit which include both aesthetics and performance oriented. In the looks department, the Audi A3 Sportback receives a new front grill and lip spoiler integrated into the front bumper. As we go down the car, you will find fender insets, new side skirts, a roof spoiler, and changes to the rear bumper which now make room for a new quad tailpipe exhaust system.

The Audi A5 Coupe is one of the most elegant new cars you can buy, throw in the “RS” package, as in the RS5, it turns into a beast that also has a gentler side.  But if you’re not satisfied with the elegant or “gentlemanly” looks of the car, look no further than OSS Design’s new tuning package for the German coupe.

The OSS Design tuned Audi RS5 looks more like the bad ass guy that girls have a one night stand with, than the stock “take home to see mom” guy.  The company says they designed the car to look like “an angry stromtrooper”.  It does have the stormtrooper look…well, because it’s white and mean looking.

Our favorite American sports car, the all-new Corvette C7 Stingray, hasn’t even hit the showrooms yet, but that doesn’t mean aftermarket tuners aren’t’ already working on improving its looks and performance.  Like the good folks at Callaway, with their C7 Corvette hatchback, Hennessey Performance has some major upgrades for the new Corvette.

The new Corvette Stingray already comes with plenty of power, the V8 pumps out 455 horsepower and does the 0 – 60 mph sprint in less than 4 seconds, but some people just need MOAR POWER!
