Audi Releases Official Sketches of A5 Sportback, Cabrio, A7 and Next-Gen A8

October 28, 2008

Audi has released official sketch photos of the upcoming 2010 A5 Sportback and Cabrio, 2010 A7 four-door coupe and the next-generation 2011 Audi A8.

The A5 Sportback and Cabrio will be powered by the same engines as the A5 coupe and will likely come in S and RS versions as well. After the addition of the new A5 models, the A7 will be released to compete with Mercedes’ CLS. The A7 four-door coupe will be powered by three engines ranging from a 204hp 2.8L model up to a 394hp 4.2L V8. An RS7 is expected and will be powered by a 600hp twin-turbocharged 5.2L V10.

The next-generation Audi A8 will be released in late 2010 as a 2011 model. The sketch shows a much more aggressively styled sedan than the current generation.
