David Taylor spent a few days in India and visited the Auto Expo 2014. I have compiled a brand-by-brand breakdown of what was showcased. Please note that some of these products may not be sold in South Africa as each market is different.

Audi is the most popular luxury brand in India and sells pretty well to the upper echelons of society. To keep the wealthy masses happy, Audi had some rather eye-catching products on its stand.

Audi R8 V10 Plus

The Audi R8 V10 Plus is currently the fastest road-going product offered from the German manufacturer. Power is rated at 404 kW while torque is pegged at 540 Nm.

Audi R18 eTron hybrid

For the motorsport fans, Audi brought along its fearsome R18 ETron Le Mans racer. This car is a hybrid and has a monstrously tuned V6 turbodiesel engine and the vehicle has claimed numerous victories in multiple races.

Audi A3 cabriolet

Audi had the all-new A3 convertible on its stand. This vehicle will be coming to South Africa in May 2014.

Audi Sport Quattro Laserlight

The head-turning product on Audi’s stand was the quattro sport laserlight. This plug-in hybrid boasts over 500 kW, will hit 100 km/h in 3.7 seconds and break through the 300km/h barrier. What’s even more special about this car is its rather special headlamps which use a combination of LEDs and lasers to provide illumination for almost 500m of road.
