The CLS 350 CGI replaced the CLS 350 already...

Still I'm waiting for Audi to release the 3.2 FSI ValveLift.

The car looks fabulous!
Any idea if they'll ever build a higher end GT like the Nuvolari Concept (larger than A5)?

Re: New Audi A5 (spy pics & info), thread 2

Damn, what a hot car.

The front design of the TT and the back (in my opinon) looks like its inspired by the RS4!

The best of both worlds and with the 4.2l RS Engine this will be a very serious car.

Re: New Audi A5 (spy pics & info), thread 2

From AutoCar

"Powerplants to include V6 and V8 petrols, and a diesel

These are the best pictures yet of Audi’s new coupé, the A5.

The A5 is the first model to use a new platform that Audi hopes will improve the driver appeal of its cars. The all-new chassis will also form the basis of the next A4.

Compared to the layout of today’s Audis, the engine and transmission have been shifted backwards to improve weight distribution and handling. In some current Audis the engine hangs over the front axle, making the cars nose-heavy and harming steering response. The new platform is called MDS (modular design system) and will be used in all Audis with a longitudinal engine layout.

The long wheelbase and big rear window hint that the A5 will offer decent space in the rear for two adults; expect it to be a proper four-seater, rather than a 2+2.

From the proportions and shape of this development car, it seems likely the A5 will retain a lot of the Nuvolari concept’s looks. Audi has a good track record of turning its concepts into production cars, such as the original TT and the new R8 supercar.

Entry-level models will be front-wheel drive, probably powered by a 3.2-litre V6, while more expensive A5s will come with four-wheel drive and the option of a petrol V8. Expect a diesel, too, and optional DSG transmission.

The A5 goes into production next year, and we’ll see the finished article at the Geneva show. An RS5, designed to evoke the original Quattro coupé, will follow in 2008."

This is wrong! Only the base model (powered by the 2.0 TFSI engine) will be FWD.

Re: New Audi A5 (spy pics & info), thread 2

I was talking to someone who has seen IRL the A5 yesterday and i managed to get more information.

Base engine in Europe will be the new 1.8 TFSI (160 hp) and then the 2.0 TFSI. Quattro will be optional on those two and standard for all bigger engines.
The car in size is close to A6 and the space in the rear seat and the trunk will compare to the 6 series if not better. Rear biased quattro, S-tronic, MMI all will be there. Sadly my source hasn't driven the car (only saw it in the factory in Germany) so i can't tell you anything more.
