New York, NY – Nearly two dozen Audi clean diesel vehicles began a coast-to-coast rally today, giving America its first glimpse of Audi’s landmark TDI technology. With sealed tanks filled with diesel fuel, the revolutionary vehicles pulled away from restaurant Tavern on the Green in New York City, kicking off the first leg of the real-world driving test, dubbed the Audi Mileage Marathon.
The only ones 'in-country' are the pair on this trip. They are manuals BTW. The good news is that Mark Del Rosso (Audi of America COO) was piloting the one in this photo. He was pretty excited to get a sting at the wheel when I last saw him on the starting grid.
