Audi A5 ‘Suicide’ Advert – Fake

The Audi A5 Suicide Avert has been dubbed a fake by Audi of America Doing the ‘Viral’ rounds over the last few days on the interweb has been a video for the Audi A5 ‘Clean Diesel’ which really didn’t seem to fit in to the non-contentious Audi mainstream ethos we are used to seeing. A carefully crafted image can easily be decimated by one careless word or deed (Gerald Ronson springs to mind) and, amusing though some of us with a sicker sense of humour found the A5 ad, we couldn’t see how Audi would sanction it – even just for online use. The advert features a man driving an Audi A5 in to a deserted car park.

BMW i3 revealed: The BMW Megacity lives

BMW i3 Revealed - on sale in 2013 The BMW i8 – also revealed today –  may be BMW’s answer to a supercar with a conscience for the 21st century, but the other end of the scale is the BMW solution to city mobility – the BMW i3. Known as the Megacity Vehicle – at least until BMW gave us all the detail of the i3 and i8 a few months ago – the BMW i3 is an upright box with a choice of pure electric or range-extender powertrains and is – in size – somewhere between the MINI and the current 1-Series. Just like the i8, the BMW i3 has a predominantly aluminium chassis and a body made of CFRP so it’s reasonably light for an EV (1270kg) and should be nimble thanks to its low centre of gravity which, just like the i8, is due to its batteries and the other heavy stuff sitting low down.
