1. DNA of the R8

This ad, from the agency DDB, took the first gen R8 when it was out and wanted to show the world everything that goes into what makes the car so special. Years upon years and car upon car that came forth from Audi throughout the ages all the way back to the 1939 Auto Union Type D.

2. OEM is Best

When it comes to getting back what you put in for your Audi, make sure you spend the money for the quality brand parts so that you will have the peace of mind with any repairs. In other words, if it isn't official Audi/VW branded, it isn't worth it.

3. Quattro Gets You Places

The quattro (meaning four in Italian) is a capable all-wheel drive system that allows the Audi model it's equipped in to traverse a landscape that would prove a bit daunting in other cars.

4. From a Leopard to a Kitten

Demonstrating exactly how your Audi will behave when your engine does a transformation in order to conserve fuel and reduce emissions in the environment. A lovely little house kitty when you don't need the power, and an untamed big cat when liberal amounts of the throttle is applied.

5. Restrained RS3

With a bit of dust blowing around the wheels, you can just imagine the car spinning its wheels and bucking feverishly while attempting to shape loose of the ratchet snaps holding it firm. The RS 3 Sportback has a 2.5-liter 5 cylinder engine that is pushed through a single turbo to deliver 367 horsepower to make it a worthy adversary for your daily commute's troubles.

6. Electrocardiogram R8

This ad shows just how much the new V10 standard R8 will affect you as you pilot it. However, the ad takes a pivot as it shows that the car is the one testing the driver and not the other way around. The next thing you know Audi will need you to present a signed off permission slip from your physician that you are healthy enough to purchase an R8.

7. All the Features You Want

This ad is part of a campaign that's meant to drive home the tech features in the A3 like the MMI, 4G level of connectivity, and the more than capable bang and Olufsen system. Many times shoppers get frustrated when looking at cars and seeing what packages are available and what is not. There is no need to wish upon a star for the things you'd like to have, as Audi has provided many.

8. Recommended TT RS

This ad is pretty helpful as it shows prospective buyers that if you have bought or are interested in any of these activities, then perhaps you should schedule a test drive for a TT RS. The compact fighter coupe throws caution to the wind and will give you the sensation of being a rocket ice skating superhero dipping into and out of the waters while navigating the skies on a skateboard. If you know someone stuck in an automotive rut, then, by all means, point them towards their nearest Audi dealership for that drive.
