Audi Mileage Marathon kicks off in New York Monday morning
The Audi Mileage Marathon that we first told you about a couple of weeks ago kicks off tomorrow morning in Manhattan. A fleet of 23 new diesel-powered Audis including the Q7, Q5, A4 and A3 will leave from Tavern on the Green at 9 am Monday on a two week journey that ends in Los Angelos to demonstrate the capabilities of modern diesels. Nearly 200 international journalists will be taking part in 4 waves that go from New York, to Chicago to Denver to Las Vegas and on to LA. AutoblogGreen and Autoblog will participating all the way. I'll be your narrator for the first week until we Denver. At that point Sebastian Blanco will hop into a car with Damon Lavrinc until they get to Vegas. The final leg will be covered by Jonathan Ramsey and Drew Phillips. In addition to our on-the-road posts, you can also follow along at the Audi Mileage Marathon site where there is a Twitter feed following the participants as they cross the continent. There is also a live map showing our location on the road along with two blogs including one from Audi of America boss Johan de Nysschen. Stay tuned for updates right here as well.
