Default Audi A5 Pic ?




We found the very first pictures of the upcoming Audi A5 coupé! And we only have one comment about it: eye candy!

The current issue of "Auto Motor und Sport", available from today, is having a longer article about it including some photo shots.

The Audi A5 coupé is a 4.60 m long 2+2 sporty coupé with a touch of luxury, clearly targeting all people for which the Audi TT is too small.

First there will be "only" V6 engines available, a 3.2 FSI and a 3.6 FSI. The already well-known Twincharcher (turbo plus compressor) will not be used for the Audi A5.

The Audi A5 coupé will hit the road in 2007.

I love that. Wouldn't it get in the way of the A4 Coupe though? I heard we're supposed to be getting one, and a version with a hardtop convertible

Yes...it's fine once you get behind the ridiculous grille. That grille looks even bigger and more outlandish than the ones in their other cars.

Yes the grille is big, but I think the new Audi grille style goes better with this coupe's body than the sedans.
One thing about the new Audi grille is that it definitely needs a front license plate on them (even where not legally required), otherwise it's fugly.
Look at the A8 W12 in the movie transporter 2, they didn't put a front license plate on it & it looks horrible , sticks out like a sore thumb

This thing definitely would get upgraded in the power department under my watchful vision. Still, I hate flat rear ends, they need to round it off.

There seems to be a trend in doing big grills, like that of the Maybach Excelero concept. This looks kind of similar...

The big grills are growning on me. I like this A5. So I guess this model is based on the Neuvolari Concept??
