Welcome to the Audizine Newsletter for March 2008.

As promised we're again bringing you AZ's latest and greatest from this past month. We're wrapping it all up for you, just in case you missed it - or perhaps you just want to check it out again. Such details include March's Featured AZ'er as well as two press releases each from Audi AG and from the world of Audi Motorsports. I'm sure I'm not alone in saying that it's great to once again have Audi doing their thing out there on the track, as the official race season has begun. Both the R10 TDIs and the A4 DTMs are back in the news and gearing up for yet more wins, milestones, and trophies. It's shaping up to be yet another wild and hair-raising season! We at Audizine wish all of the Audi teams the very best of luck.

1sicknickel's '07 A4 2.0T Avant
The word this month is 'unique'. There are hundreds of thousands of automotive enthusiasts out there, thousands within this community alone, and yet only a handful of us are brave enough to venture or even think very far outside the box. In my opinion Audi enthusiasts are some of the most unique out there. We're not interested in the day-to-day American or Asian cars or even the more common European makes such as BMW. There are some of us out there that like to go even further. Hell, even some of you wouldn't be caught dead in a "wagon", whether it's called an Avant or not. So therefore owning and modifying an Audi Avant is as unique as you can get. Or is it? Full Story

And in case you missed it, be sure to check out our previous Featured AZ'er for February, Derleicaman's '03 A4 1.8T quattro.

The world's most powerful diesel-powered passenger car - the Audi Q7 V12 TDI - will use the Audi stand at the 2008 Geneva Motor Show (March 6th to 16th) as a springboard to make the leap from one-off concept to fully fledged production model. The world debut of the final series production version of the 500PS, 1,000Nm TDI powerhouse that was first seen undergoing testing in 2006 also coincides with the unveiling of the Q7 coastline, a new design study based on the V12 TDI which is decked out internally following a nautical theme.

Audi Records Disappointing Results At Sebring

The Audi R10 TDI remains unbeaten after 22 races.
