You may have seen that Luis Diaz has touched down in Germany to sign for Bayern Munich<\/a> from Liverpool FC<\/a>. He rode in the team manager\u2019s black Audi Q8 (you\u2019ll see why this is important in a bit) instead of the red Audi that Bayern normally uses to transport its new signings.<\/p>\n

The red Audi in question is a Mk II (second generation) Audi Q3 (Typ F3). Players like Harry Kane (in the lead pic), Eric Dier, Jonas Urbig have all ridden this car en route to the club\u2019s facilities to sign their contracts; it is important to note that the red Audi isn\u2019t used for every transfer (i.e. Chuck\u2019s golden boy James Rodriguez rode a van).<\/p>\n

This particular version is the sportback (note the slanting rear roof akin to the BMW X6)<\/p>\n

The club published an article<\/a> on their official website three years ago (during the 20th anniversary of the partnership between the two parties) and it revealed that the players and personnel can pick from one of three Audi models. These are the RS e-tron GT (Audi\u2019s executive car), Q4 e-tron (crossover SUV), and the Q8 e-tron sportback. The term \u201ce-tron\u201c refers to the fact that this line of Audis are partially or fully electric vehicles.<\/p>\n

Diaz won\u2019t have to worry though, because Sonny Scherer\u2019s Audi isn\u2019t too dissimilar to the red Audi. The team manager\u2019s vehicle (as seen in the video<\/a>) is also an Audi Q8 (albeit a black one) rocking the 22-inch alloys (it appears to be the Super Concaves) instead of the standard 21-inch alloys. This specific wheel type is also used in other Audi models.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"You may have seen that Luis Diaz has touched down in Germany to sign for Bayern Munich from…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":33987,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[1203,584,2892,2891,7193,4839,4836,49,48,25729,11710,527,700,25728,10377,4830,2177,1439,694,4841,82,25727,1462,4837,2893],"class_list":["post-33986","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-and","tag-audi","tag-bavarian","tag-bayern","tag-bayern-munich-finances-board","tag-bayern-munich-transfer-news-rumors","tag-bayern-munich-transfer-rumors-news","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-continuity","tag-english-premier-league-transfers-news-rumors","tag-football","tag-front-page","tag-intent","tag-liverpool-transfer-news-rumours","tag-munich","tag-of","tag-red","tag-s","tag-soccer-sg","tag-sports","tag-symbol","tag-the","tag-transfer-rumors","tag-works"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33986","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=33986"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33986\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/33987"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=33986"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=33986"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=33986"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
