Three races, two wins: The results of the Audi R10 TDI in the 2008 American Le Mans Series 2008 are impressive.

The Audi A3 moves with the times this week as a new generation of the market leading premium hatchback range focusing even more acutely on economy and emissions control opens for UK order priced from £14,995 OTR.
