What is the future of fuel? What's new? What's next? Since 2007, Gas 2 has covered a rapidly changing world coming to terms with its oil addiction.
This was the first car I saw when I entered the show. I was transfixed by its stunning masculine lines. When the Audi rep told me it also boasts a 3.0L V-6 TDI clean diesel motor as well as two 44hp electric motors in the front wheels, I was even more impressed.
