While the fender-to-fender fracas is plenty exciting, it takes an army of engineers frantically innovating and working to beat deadlines to carry the checkered flag each season.

We do understand that the majority of the Q3’s groundwork will be based on the Volkswagen Tiguan , though the styling will be more akin to that of Audi’s Cross Coupe concept from 2007. Various reports have stated that the Tiguan’s engines and transmissions will carry over to the Q3, so we can expect the Audi to be powered by the automaker’s 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four, producing somewhere around 200 horsepower.

It looks perfectly normal, but would you believe that it’s nearly 10,800 square feet in size? How about the fact that it was painted with 200 cans of spray paint and took 14 days to create?
Filed under: Marketing/Advertising , Audi Audi has issued a press release announcing that it will advertise during the Super Bowl for the fourth consecutive year. Buying ad time is usually a non-newsworthy affair, but a single 30-second spot during the Big Game represents a financial commitment of $3 million or more. That’s a fairly hefty chunk of Audi’s annual ad spending budget here in the States, so why do it?
