Video: Wolfgang Egger describes Audi A5 sportback design
Audi design head Wolfgang Egger describes the style of his latest creation, the Audi A5 Sportback, in this video. The sports sedan-coupè is ready for a successful campaign, with Egger outlining the roof line and rear spoiler of this car.
We also get some insight into the lateral design and a rear that’s sporty and elegant, with an idea of why Audi has taken to this style. Seeing it come to light on the page is really quite intriguing. See the video for more information.
Audi A5 Sportback new render
This reconstruction of the Audi A5 Sportback is based on recent spy shots of the A5, giving us an idea of the three-quarter view of the rear. The A5 Sportback will be the first sedan-coupè from the company and the first in its segment. It will appear above the A4 in the product listing, though will share the same platform and mechanics.
The style will be characterised by a new cut around the side of the vehicle, included in this representation. S and RS versions should also appear at some stage, and the A5 Sportback debut is set for the Frankfurt show in September.

Audi A5 cabriolet: new gallery
We know that a cabriolet is all about selling a lifestyle with a car, but we still enjoyed these new shots of the Audi A5 Cabrio, in a more atmospheric setting after the first official studio pics.
In these new shots we get a real sense of the elegant Audi open top and a glimpse at the interior. Audi is playing on warm sunshine settings with a luxurious touch.
Audi A5 Cabriolet: official gallery and pricing
After our previous post on the Audi S5 Cabriolet, we give you the second gallery of the A5 version. The new cabriolet has a soft roof, and will be available with six different engine options: the V6 turbodiesel at 2.7 and 3.0 litres (power at 190 and 240 hp respectively), the 1.8L TFSI at 160 hp, the two 2.0L TFSI (four cylinders, turbo compressed, direct injection petrol and power at 180 and 211 hp), and the 3.2L V6 FSI at 265hp.
That gives you plenty of engine options, and additional elements are the choice of a six-speed manual, or continual variation Multitronic, or the S tronic transmission with double clutch and seven speeds. As per Audi tradition, the more powerful models will be equipped with Quattro all wheel drive.
The Audi A5 Cabrio price will be 37,300 euros (1.8 TFSI) with delivery from the second quarter of 2009.

Spy shots: Audi A5 cabriolet
It’s certainly not the latest of news that the Audi A4 Cabriolet will disappear from the product lists of the company as it pursues the middle segment and should soon reveal the Audi A5 covertible, after its presentation as a coupè.
The debut should take place at the Paris show in three weeks’ time, while the arrival on the market is expected for next year. In addition to the fabric roof, only a very few mechanical differences will be seen compared to the coupè, as both models will take on the engine range of the S5 and RS5.

Audi: future engines
Coming from Audi in Poland is this “authoritative” document that shows the future engine plans of the manufacturer. Everything from petrol to diesel, from reduced power to transmission changes, you can check it out and make up your own mind. The offering will be varied and attractive, and there is also some news on models to be introduced.
Rear wheel drive should debut towards the end of next year, and in addition to the current 1.4 TFSI and we should also see a 1.2 TFSI 86 hp, recently seen on the Seat Ibiza revealed.
Audi A5 Cabrio - to be produced in Neckarsulm
A new convertible A5 will be ready for the road come 2009. CEO Frank Dreves, speaking in the pages of “A.m.u.s”, gave details that the facilities at Neckarsulm will produce the new Audi cabriolet. There are no technical indiscretions either, regarding a possible hard-top roof (as seen in the latest generation BMW Series 3 cabrio, principle competitor); therefore it seems that the A5 for the moment will remain faithful to the fabric roof, to the advantage of weight and charm. More precise details are available for sales prospects though, at about 28,000 units each year.
This also thanks to a range of both petrol and diesel engines, diversified such as to satisfy every need, including the more sporty S and RS versions. Dreves also focused on how the company of four rings in 2008 is counting on a 6-10% growth and expansion in markets outside the EU. What remains less clear however is whether the A5 Cabrio will replace the current soft-top model of the A4, or whether the proposal (as confermed by the A5 Sportback compared to the A4 Avant) is a step-up in price, sporty style and prestige.
