AUDI USA Press Release: Audi A5 Cabriolet
The All New Audi A5 Cabriolet is now Available at Braman Audi!!!
Call 1-866-465-1109 to Schedule A Test Drive Today!
- The A5 product line is now expanded to include Cabriolet models with three powerful and fuel-efficient powertrains.
- A5 Cabriolet features ground-breaking soft top technology for elegant styling, superior room and storage space, and superb driving dynamics.
- New optional Quattro Sport rear differential enhances agility.
Ingolstadt - Dynamic and wonderful to look at, the new A5 Cabriolet is a real Audi, and an especially exciting one at that. The four-seater with the fabric top combines a sporty character with the fascination of open-top driving, refined comfort, and great everyday utility. Seven powerful engines, an agile suspension and a wide range of high-end options make the new Audi model the most attractive mid-range convertible.
When opened, the Audi A5 Cabriolet top folds down so effectively that very little trunk space is used up - leaving 320 liters (11.3 cu ft) of unused storage volume, clearly the best value in its field of competitors. The soft top compartment lowers itself automatically when the top is opened.
Equally useful is the fold-down rear seat backrest with the large pass-through between the luggage space and the interior, which increases the storage volume to a generous 750 liters (26.49 cu. ft.).
Automatic seat belt extenders round out the comfort in the interior. Neck-level heating is optionally available for the front seats. The optional leather seats are coated with a special layer to reduce solar heating. There is comfortable room for four persons. The refined ambience combines with exemplary ergonomics to convey an atmosphere of sporty elegance. Ultra-high-strength steels and selective reinforcements of the body ensure maximal rigidity and crash safety.
The A5 Cabriolet is being launched with three gasoline engines and two diesel engines, with power outputs ranging from 132 kW (180 hp) to 195 kW (265 hp). All five powerplants are fueled via direct injection; four of them use turbocharging. Available power trains include a six-speed manual transmission, the continuously variable multitronic, and the lightning-fast, seven-speed S tronic.
In addition to front-wheel drive, Audi also offers quattro permanent all-wheel drive for the higher-power engines. The innovative sport differential, which variably distributes the propulsive power between the rear wheels, is optionally available to make quattro even more dynamic and even safer.

2010 AUDI R8 V10
The All New Audi R8 V10 has made it to Braman Audi
The first 2010 Audi R8 V10 made it to Braman Audi and was delivered in the same day. This very popular car will not see many days in any showroom across the United States. Comparable to the Lamborghini Gallardo, the Audi R8 V10 is attracting a new wave of sports car enthusiast.
Looking for a thrill? Well then this is the vehicle for you. Reaching a top speed of 196 mph is easily attainable with the 5.2 liter V10 FSI engine and 525 hp and 391 lb-ft torque. Audi USA states, "the 5.2 liter V10 FSI engine in the Audi R8 is a masterpiece of superlative engineering art. This brutal power-plant is notable for the innovative technical features adopted from the world of motorsport. With its supreme performance, muscular torque and high-revving concept peaking at 8700 rpm, it has all the key ingredients of a fascinatingly spontaneous power unit, making it impressively agile and remarkably free-revving."
Automobile Magazine states that the Audi R8 V10 is the "fastest-ever produced Audi," with "the acceleration time quoted for the 0-to-62-mph sprint is 3.9 seconds." Automobile Magazines mention that "thanks to Quattro all-wheel drive, a 15/85 front/rear torque bias, a limited-slip rear differential, 44/56 percent weight distribution, and substantial nineteen-inch Pirelli tires, grip is never an issue on dry pavement."
Automobile Magazine states, "exterior upgrades over the V-8 version include flared side blades, extended sills, a larger rear diffuser, standard LED headlamps, different wheel designs, polished black front and rear air vents, and more chrome for the single-frame grille."
According to Audi USA, "the Audi R8 5.2 has a number of packages and options to ensure your new R8 5.2 is exactly the way you want it.

Audi A4 Sedan
The Perfect Car For Every Occasion The Audi A4 Sedan
Whether you are looking for your dream car, a comfortable car for family trips, or an efficient means to travel to and from work, the Audi A4 sedan just may be the perfect fit for you.
The new Audi A4 sedan is available in two engines. According to Left Lane News, "the new 3.2 FSI is the most powerful engine available in the new A4. It develops 265 hp and also delivers 243 lb-ft of torque all the way from 3000 to 5000 rpm. The car accelerates with a manual gearbox from a standstill to 62 mph in only 6.2 seconds. As an alternative from 2008 onwards, this engine can be combined with the 6-speed tiptronic automatic transmission." The smaller of the two engines, the compact four-cylinder Audi A4 2.0T, has a 2.0 liter turbocharged direct injected inline-4 engine producing 211 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque at 1500 rpm.
Motor Trend mentions that the new Audi A4 sedan has "stretched nearly five inches overall, more than two inches wider, and is on a six-inch-longer wheelbase than the previous generation. The interior also was completely redesigned, and the high-quality materials and clean, attractive design continue to live up to Audi's stellar reputation as the industry benchmark. The cabin is larger in every dimension, front and rear seats are more comfortable, and there's more rear-seat legroom than in the outgoing model. The trunk is significantly larger, too -- now 17.0 cubic feet, up from 13.4."
Edmunds recognizes the new Audi A4 sedan for its handling abilities and safety features. "Diving enthusiasts will appreciate that the drivetrain's AWD layout has been adjusted to improve weight balance for better handling. In addition, the optional Drive Select system permits the driver to adjust ride compliance, steering effort and shift response -- there are three different preset modes as well as a personalized mode where you can mix and match settings."
Edmunds continues on with Audi safety features, "All 2009 Audi A4s come standard with antilock brakes, traction control, stability control, front-seat side airbags and full-length side curtain airbags (except Cabriolets). Rear-seat-mounted side airbags are available as an option for the sedan and wagon. In government crash testing, the A4 garnered perfect five-star scores for both front and side impacts. Likewise, in Insurance Institute for Highway Safety crash tests, the A4 without the optional rear-seat airbags nonetheless earned perfect ratings of "Good" in both frontal offset and side impact crash testing."

Audi Celebrates Q5 with a Launch
By Gred N.
Brown
MOTORTREND
Pardon our math, but 5 can represent a greater value than 7. Proof? Audi's upcoming Q5, when read as an algebraic expression or as a force on the car market, equals a higher value than the Q7. We worked it out during a day driving Audi's upcoming compact SUV, and the way we figured it, Q times 5 is so impressive a factor it could very well amount to the most successful Audi launch ever in the Americas.
In real estate, it's all a question of location, but the critical component of the car business is timing, and whereas the full-size Q7 reached market late in the boom-and-bust cycle of that segment, the Q5 will hit these shores In March, when more buyers than ever will be forsaking size for efficiency. And, because the competition for our ever more reticent spending will be so fierce, Value x Quality will become an even more critical factor in the equation for success. In short, the Q5 is good math at the right time.
The first North American Q5 comes powered by a 3.2L FSI V-6 with 270 hp and 243 lb-ft of torque, matched to a seven-speed Tiptronic automatic gearbox and self-locking center differential that sends drive to all four wheels, normally in a 60 rear/40 front ratio. Should the need arise for more traction, the system automatically shifts power forward, to a maximum of 64 percent, or to the rear, to a maximum of 82 percent.
Audi says the Q5 with be comparable with its chief rivals, the BMW X3 and new Mercedes-Benz GLK. Several levels of option packages and stand-alone extras and a sportier S-Line model will provide good excuses to spend lots more.
European Q5s (starting price is EUR 38,300) made their debut late last year with three different engines, all with direct injection and turbochargers; the 3.2 V-6 will join them early next year. First out of the gate are a brand-new gasoline 2.0L TFSI with 211 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque, mated to a six-speed manual; and two diesels, a 2.0L TDI with 170 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque, and a 3.0L V-6 TDI with 240 hp and an enormous 368 lb-ft of torque, both offered with Audi's new seven-speed twin-clutch S Tronic automatic transmission.

Braman Motorcars is now the leading multi-franchise dealership in the entire country.
This is according to Ward's Auto Magazine, whose annual Top 500 report reached those conclusions by calculating Braman's overall performance results for 2009. With over 80 years experience in automotive news, data, and analysis reporting, Ward's is the authoritative industry publication.
While this is great news for Braman Motorcars, their clients who own Audi, BMW, Bentley, MINI, Porsche and Rolls-Royce automobiles will benefit most from the achievement of the Florida luxury car dealer.

While this is great news for Braman Motorcars, their clients who own Audi, BMW, Bentley, MINI, Porsche and Rolls-Royce automobiles will benefit most from the achievement of the Florida luxury car dealer.
Why? Because Braman Motorcars has a history of investing to better serve its' clients, even during a recession. The South Florida luxury car dealer recently completed a total renovation of its' facilities to provide a more client-friendly experience and environment. Braman's new facilities allow them to service vehicles with greater efficiency, so clients can receive their cars sooner than ever before. Clients also | "Whatever our future investments may be, they will be made to improve the Braman Motorcars experience for all of our clients." -Vince Cerone General Manager, COO Braman Motorcars |
enjoy a more convenient experience because the expanded parking facility offers them a greater variety of cars to drive home.
The luxury car dealer made other recent investments that underscore Braman's dedication to improving their clients' experience. And, that dedication is exemplified by their newly implemented proprietary training program that educates every employee on how to best assist and advise clients. This guarantees that Braman clients interact with a knowledgeable, accommodating, and professional staff that can serve any need.
Though the luxury car dealer made these investments at a time when most businesses stopped investing in clients, Wards' report indicates that Braman made the right decision.
"We are very proud of our entire staff for this achievement," Cerone said. "It shows their dedication to providing clients with the best experience possible. Though everyone at Braman works tirelessly for such results, we're never satisfied. We're always trying to improve our client service because we know they can buy from any luxury car dealer. So, we aim to provide them with an outstanding experience overall."
So, how does Braman plan to better serve its' loyal clients?
According to Mr. Cerone, "We will continue to invest in our clients. Being the leading multi-franchise automotive dealer in the country means that we have the resources to do whatever it takes to best serve them. If that means expansion, we'll expand. If that means more or better training, we'll invest in more or better training. Whatever our future investments may be, they will be made to improve the Braman Motorcars experience for all of our clients."
| Race Legend Derek Bell makes Braman Track Event Appearance Braman customers that participated in the Bentley Supersport track event got a big surprise when it turned out the legendary race driver Derek Bell was one of the instructors. The group took all-new Bentley Supersport through the paces and got to feel the extreme performance side of Bentley with the superstar. Derek Bell took up racing in 1964 with Lotus Seven. He graduated to Formula 3 in the following year in a Lotus 31 and in 1966 switched to a Lotus 41 scoring his first victory at Goodwood. In 1967 he enjoyed seven wins. He entered Formula 2 in a privateer Brabham BT23C fielded by his stepfather's Church Farm Racing team and had several promising performances, which caught Ferrari's eye and made his Grand Prix debut at Monza. In 1969 he raced at Silverstone with Ferrari and also raced the four-wheel-drive McLaren M9A in its only race in the British Grand Prix. Bell was one of many drivers to take part in the filming of Le Mans (1970) starring Steve McQueen. Bell had a lucky escape during the making of the film. The Ferrari 512 he was driving suddenly caught fire whilst getting into position for a take. He managed to get out of the car just before it was engulfed in flames and suffered minor burns. The car was badly damaged but later rebuilt. Bell was also a runner in the 1970 European Formula 2 Championship driving a March. In 1972 he got the drive in the Tecno F1 team, along with Nanni Galli. He won two World Sportscar Championship titles (1985-86), in the 24 Hours of Daytona (1986-87 and 1989) and five victories but also built a strongat Le Mans (in 1975, 1981, 1982, 1986 and 1987), |         |
Bell was hired to consult for the Bentley team in 2001, helping them to win Le Mans two years later. He now splits his time between the United States and Bognor Regis, and commentates on Formula One races which he has done for and drives in historic events, as well as performing an ambassadorial role for Porsche.
