Another concept coming to Detroit?

**The RS6** · December 25th, 2009, 08:48

We've known for a while that the all-new Audi A8 would be first seen at an auto show in Detroit following its unveiling at last month's Design Miami event. What we internally wondered was id Ingolstadt would bring more to Motown than the A8 given the down economy and their choice to pull out entirely of the Essen Motor Show also last month. We've now received confirmation and news is good.

A rumor internally pointed to a second reveal - a concept car that is a showcase for technology... hybrid? electric? hydrogen fuel cell? flux capacitor??? No one would say. They're still not really saying but a statement coming out of Ingolstadt today giving satellite feed details for their press conference says the following...

Showcar underscores „Vorsprung durch Technik“
New Audi A8 makes its show premiere

From Fourtitude...

Yes, and it will be awesome.

maybe the light version of the S5 with inline 5 engine?

or some car with a V8 twincharged engine? that would be vorsprung.

maybe an R8 replacement concept?

hopefully not another boring hybrid- probably a diesel electric hybrid version of a Q7 or new A8.

**The Pretender** · December 29th, 2009, 22:02

Maybe something like a Q3, A6 or R4.

**The RS6** · December 29th, 2009, 23:18

A6?! Why?

It will be a show car, that mean it can be a future production model in 2-3 years time.

probably the new A3 small sedan concept but with some kind of diesel hybrid drivetrain.

i don't think it'll be anything big and exciting.

New A3 small sedan, would probably look like a small A4, with other words boring.

any info on this yet? show is next week.

since there is not much hype i take it it will simply be a small car with a hybrid powertrain.

so much for global warming- it is 35 degress in Orlando. mickey has his parka and boots on. lol.

**The Pretender** · January 9th, 2010, 00:02
