Complete immersion

This year the Audi driving experience is expanding on its offering of high-adrenalin driving programs with an immersive series of lifestyle drives. This luxurious series of two and three-night programs combine the thrill of enjoying some of the brand’s most desirable vehicles with spectacular driving roads, luxury accommodation and fine food. 

Programs are available in Queensland, Victoria and Tasmania, each meticulously curated to provide a driving experience with a difference, as guests enjoy the likes of the Audi RS5 Sportback, RS 6 Avant performance and RS Q8 SUV on specially selected drive routes through stunning countryside. These drive routes, prepared and led by Audi Australia’s Chief Driving Instructor and Motorsport ambassador, Steve Pizzati, will give participants the opportunity to experience these outstanding vehicles in their ‘natural habitat’ as well as enjoying the very best hospitality each location has to offer.

For those resident in Queensland or looking to spend some time in the golden state, a two-night experience takes participants from the glitz of the Gold Coast into the quintessential Queensland hinterland on the way to the laidback charm of Byron Bay. With a maximum of two people per vehicle, guests enjoy a night at the stunning Langham Hotel on the Gold Coast before embarking on a road trip with the characteristic Audi touches, that ultimately sees them arrive in the heart of Byron for a night at the Crystalbrook Byron.

As is the case with each literary, the fee covers daily breakfasts, lunches and dinners – and of course the RS 5 Sportback, RS 6 Performance and RS Q8 SUV, which guests cycle through each day to ensure they get to experience what each vehicle has to offer.

In Victoria, the itinerary kicks off in the striking Yarra Valley, before winding its way up into Victoria’s world famous high country on another spectacular two-program. Again, the finest accommodation the region has to offer has been carefully selected and the roads, likewise chosen to ensure the RS models can showcase their outstanding performance and handling.

For those looking to explore The Apple Isle, no less than three nights will do, as the experience winds its way from the heart of Hobart and the luxury of the award-winning The Tasman, up into breathtaking Central Highlands for a night at the famous Cradle Mountain Lodge. Another day of driving on some of the country’s best roads sees the experience arrive for a final night at Peppers Silo in Launceston, wrapping up another bucket list drive experience.

Each program has been carefully considered to offer the best of their respective regions and to ensure that each guest enjoys a drive experience with a difference. With strictly limited numbers and only two tours in each region, the exclusivity of these programs is assured and offer a unique way to experience the very best Audi Sport has to offer in concert with the very best each region has to offer – all presented with Audi’s unerring style and attention to detail.
