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?
 
Model Review: 2013 Audi allroad quattro 2.0T

Model Review: 2013 Audi allroad quattro 2.0T

As Audi fans, we all know the original A6-based allroad quattro that was brought across the pond roughly a decade ago. With its "ugly duckling" looks, it was a love it or hate it kind of vehicle. Its only real European competition at the time was from Volvo's now extinct all-wheel drive "Cross Country". With its adaptive air ride suspension, toughed up underpinnings, and overall rugged looks, the allroad became one of the first successful European crossovers in the United States. It was the Avant for the modern parent, and while popular with many Audi fans, it sadly stopped coming to our shores in 2005. In doing so it left a gap in the market which Audi filled with their first SUV, the much larger Q7, and then eventually the Q5.
