Close your eyes for a minute and imagine building your perfect turbo'd Audi A4. Think of all those aftermarket parts you'd stick inside that engine bay, from the front mount intercooler to the stronger engine mounts, and of course the insanely big turbo. Picture that laundry list of parts that span the headlights up front to the exhaust pipes in the back. What would you add to the car, get rid of, or replace in order to handle the increased power load?  

Audi Driving Experience at Exhibition Place, Toronto, Canada

November 14, 2011 - Words by Ryan Turner, Photos by Ryan Turner and Michael Tan

Since 1983 Audi has offered a driver education program known as the 'Audi Driving Experience' in Germany and other European venues. For the first time ever Audi has brought the program to Canada as a limited, multi-city event. Over a six week period Audi will be running the Driving Experience at Exhibition Place in Toronto, Circuit ICAR in Montreal, and B.C. Driving Centre at Pitt Meadows Airport in Vancouver. The program is designed to introduce the fundamentals of driver safety, driving dynamics, and Audi technology through in-class and on-track curriculums. I attended the opening event in Toronto to see what we had been missing out on.
