2009 Audi TTS Review

Stay connected Subscribe to our RSS feed
For those who think supercars like the R8 are a useless waste of money and resources, you're both right and wrong. Yes, a car that costs $150,000 and needs only one buyer a week across the country might seem ridiculous, but the R8 wasn't conceived to be a volume seller. The R8 is a marketing tool. Full story...

1999-2005 Audi A2 – By Design

1999-2005 Audi A2 - By Design
1999-2005 Audi A2 - Design Analysis - Automobile Magazine
Efficient design in an agreeable package.

So Honda has a new Insight hybrid, and almost every comment I have seen says that Honda "copied the Toyota Prius" shape. Not really. What both four-door hatchbacks do is follow the tenets of Reinhard Koenig-Fachsenfeld, a sometime motorcycle racer who lacked the academic credentials so important in German engineering circles. The talented German professor/doctor/engineer Wunibald Kamm, whose name is commonly applied to the truncated tail featured on both the Insight and the Prius, headed the Research Institute for Motor Vehicles and Engines (FKFS) in Stuttgart from 1930 until the end of WWII and lent his prestige to the development of Koenig-Fachsenfeld's aerodynamic patents. Together, they built and tested a series of experimental, Prius-like "K-cars" that were a far cry from the eponymous little boxes that saved Chrysler in the early 1980s.
