WOZERS:trash:

Are the first 2 photoshops or just the 3rd one

**Android** · February 23rd, 2005, 19:58

Dang! That´s really good looking in my opinion!

**5000S old skool** · February 23rd, 2005, 23:38

so how many sport coupe platforms is Audi planning on having? So far I've counted 3..

TT series
A5/S5 series
S9/RS9/LeMans series

These are all photoshop images, but the first one posted by Erik is pretty close to the final version. All of the features are correct, but the real thing just looks much more fluid with the different elements more seamlessly integrated. The new TT is a bit bigger than the last one, with more rear space. I just hope the interior design is as good as the last one; which in my mind is still the benchmark for quality and coolness in any category.

I have heard something about an A4 coupe and also an a3 cab.

**tailpipe** · April 6th, 2005, 13:54

Audi's sports car model plans:

1. Between the A3 and A4 using the Golf/ A3 platform you have the TT coupe and convertible. New model will be slightly larger to provide more interior space for rear passengers/ luggage. But it will still be a 2+2 not a true four-seater. (You may have also seen a prototype fastback TT, but I doubt whether this will make it into production: if you want a practical TT, buy an S3)

2. Between the A4 and A6 you have the A5 (Nuvolari production version) as seen elsewhere on the forum, with A6 styling and a true 4-seater. It will be built on the new Matrix platform with dramatically improved front:rear weight balance. The convertible version of this model will replace the current A4 convertible allowing it to move upmarket and thus to be sold at a higher price. Given the niche status of the A4 convertible relative to other A4 variants, it isn't a parrticularly profitable car for Audi.

3. The flagship model for the Audi range will be the A9/ RS9/ RSR model, (production version of the Le mans concept). This will be a mid-engined focused 2-seat sports car.

I have heard nothing about a convertible A3 and think such a model would be highly unlikely. I also doubt that there will be an RS3 because there would be too much overlap with the TT, although an S3 must certainly be in development.

Thus, Audi's final line-up should look something like this:

1. A3 and S3
2. TT coupe and convertible
3. A4/S4/RS4 saloon, A4/S4/RS4 Avant,
4. A5/S5/RS5 coupe, A5/S5/RS5 convertible
5. Q5 soft-roader (based on A5 platform)
6. A6/S6/RS6 saloon, A6/S6/RS6 Avant,
7. A6 All-road
8. Q7 SUV
9. A8/ S8 saloon/ limousine
10. A9/S9/RS9 or RSR sports car

There has been talk of an A4 All-road for the next generation A4, but it is too early to know whether such a model would be viable. I guess it will depend on the extent to which the Q5, A6 All-road and Q7 overlap with each other cannibalising sales.

This is a pretty impressive model range and If Audi can sustain its quality then it will do extremely well. I'd make four comments about it:

1. The new SUVs Audi is developing will need to be very good considering how late to market it is in this category.

2. IMHO the A3 is the weakest link in the line-up; it is a better car than the Golf, but not better value than the Golf. The Golf is a very disappointing car, because it fails to move the category forward in the same way that the new A-Class has. I would have liked to have seen a replacement for the brilliant A2 (I own one), correcting its many defficiencies. It is such a cool car and so economical thanks to its aluminium body.

3. The next A4 will be the make or break car for Audi as a brand. It doesn't just need to better than the 3-Series but also the new C-Class and perhaps most surprising, the new Lexus IS. All of these competitors use a rear-wheel drive platform, while Audi has a Front-wheel drive dynamically inferior set-up. If the new matrix platform is a compromise solution, Audi will lose credibility.

4. Audi is meant to be all about technology. I think it is about time that we saw a hybrid solution, fuel cell or hydrogen powered prototype from Ingolstadt. Any car we buy after 2007, could be the last petrol model, because by 2015 it may be cheaper to manufacture hydrogen than to mine the remaining oil deposits.

Apologies for taking this thread off topic, but I hope the information will be relevant to members' future high-performance Audi model purchase decisions

i hope when the new TT will be out, they will sell the 3.2 DSG with the Novulari wheels.

It looks excellent with the TT.

If any of you are undercover for Audi... tell your boss...
there is demand... so supply!

heh..

I just saw in auto bild that Audi is going to build an A3 convertible, of the looks from the pictures its going to be based on the sportsback witch should give some extra room in the cabin with the larger trunk.
