2008 Audi A5 Coupe
January 22nd, 2007
Audi will be setting a small record of when they begin putting all three of the concepts that were revealed at the 2003 Geneva Motor Show into production. With the Pikes Peak transforming into the Q7 SUV and the Le Mans supercar appearing as the R8, the company has also given the green light to a midsized coupe based on the Nuvolari quattro concept.
Johan De Nysschen, head of Audi in the United States, told consumers that the A5 will be positioned above the current A4 Cabriolet when it debuts late next year and it will use Audi’s 4.2-liter FSI V8. Three different transmissions will be offered: manual, automatic and DSG and all of them will send power through a quattro all wheel drive system.

Audi is preparing a sporty new two-door and a new nameplate for model year 2008. Though by unconfirmed report, the new Audi A5 may make its debute in 2008 release and will share styling cues with the Nuvolari and Shooting Brake concepts and a platform with the next-generation A4 and Volkswagen’s forthcoming upscale coupe (or four-door coupe as the case may be). According to South Africa’s Wheels24, a soft-top A5 will replace the A4 cabrio.
