Audi is making the S6 sedan and the S7 fastback a little bit more dapper for the 2023 model year by adding an appearance package called Design Edition to the list of options. It bundles several edition-specific exterior accents and a sportier-looking interior, among other features.

Design Edition models can be ordered in a package-specific color called Arrow Gray (pictured), though buyers can also select Mythos Black Metallic, Tango Red Metallic, and Florett Silver Metallic, among other options on the palette. Regardless, ticking the "Design Edition" box adds Liquid Dark Chrome exterior accents, darkened Matrix-design LED headlights, Brilliant Black paint on the roof, and black emblems. It's not all blacked-out, though: red brake calipers are visible through 21-inch wheels whose design is different depending on the model selected.

Inside, the Design Edition package brings red stitching, red seatbelt edges, and Dinamica upholstery on the gear selector, the lower part of the center console, and the knee pads. Leather-upholstered front sport seats and an RS-style flat-bottom steering wheel come standard.

There are no mechanical modifications, meaning both models are powered by a 2.9-liter V6 that relies on a pair of turbochargers and an electric-powered compressor (EPC) linked to a 48-volt mild hybrid system to develop 444 horsepower and 443 pound-feet of torque. The six-cylinder spins the four wheels via an eight-speed automatic transmission and Audi's permanent Quattro all-wheel-drive system.

Available exclusively for the 2023 model year, the Design Edition package is priced at $2,500. Audi will open the order book in June 2022.

We like the hybrid powertrain in our long-term 2022 BMW 330e xDrive. The electric motor makes a good companion to the turbo-four, and it works well running on its own. Here's some of the things we find interesting.

The last time we saw a 2023 BMW M2 wearing M Performance Parts on Instagram, the picture came from a random motorist at a stop light waiting behind a camouflaged M2 prototype.

A Facebook post claims the founder of Timberland was a slave owner who would hang his slaves from a tree on his Mississippi property, which later became the symbol for the popular boot company. This is false; Timberland boots were created in the 1970s by a Russian immigrant who bought a shoe company in Massachusetts, the company's history shows."Timberland 'Whip A Ni66a' Hawkins was one of the biggest racist of all time. In fact he owned sooo many slaves during the 1700s he couldn't auction them

Though I wasn’t too confident about my pick because I thought it was a pretty even match-up, still we got it correctly as Dmitry Bivol defeated Saul Alvarez via decision.This prediction has shades of Bernard Hopkins vs. Felix Trinidad in 2001. Back then, almost everybody had “Tito” winning. I was among the minority who thought the bigger B-hop would handle Tito well.THE FIGHT. From the get-go the size difference between the two was quite glaring. The taller Bivol was able to find an early home f

Former Department of Social Welfare and Development Secretary Judy Taguiwalo received an apology from her daughter and other activists for "failing" Martial Law survivors after the election victory of Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos, Jr.

Some hoped that the outcome of the recently concluded national and local elections would end up differently, only to be disappointed. But, as I said, in a contest not everyone can be winners.Also, I had steeled myself to the possibility and then the inevitability that my bet would lose. So the results didn’t come out as a shock. What is done is done and we have to move on.Really.I don’t know about you but there are pressing matters that need attending like the continuing rise in fuel prices.The

Chihiro Ikeda bagged the championship in the ICTSI Mount Malarayat Ladies Challenge after she beat Chanelle Avaricio by three strokes on a remarkable eagle-spiked frontside charge for a second straight 72 at Mount Malarayat’s composite course on Friday in Lipa City, Batangas.Not even a backside slide could hold back Ikeda’s bid for a first Ladies Philippine Golf Tour championship in three years as she built enough cushion with her 33 at the turn and Avaricio ran out of holes in her rally to turn

CARLO: Hi, Singlestalk. I was a huge fan of your column way back when I was starting in my career. You’re like a virtual friend. I’m now married, blessed with a good 14-year-old son. He’s bright and caring. someone who will likely one day make his mark. There’s something about him, though, that worries me. And over the long weekend, I caught him wearing his mom’s high heels and her lipstick, too. I know this is a parental concern and your column is about singles. I’ve got golf buddies but this i

Social media posts about a series of "suspicious" fires and other accidents affecting US food processing plants have suggested that there is a conspiracy to create food shortages. But the number of incidents is not unusual, experts say, and despite rising food prices the fires would have a minimal impact on the food supply chain which is under strain because of other factors."This is Not mere coincidence!!!!" a Facebook user posted on May 3, 2022, commenting on a map marked with points said to s
