Audi: Frankfurt Motor Show report, part 2

It took some time, but if you take a look at the pictures it was absolutely worth to wait so long for Fourtitude's second part of the Frankfurt Motor Show report.
Great job, George!

Back at Audi, more cars were moved in to the company’s exhibit, having reclaimed the floor space where journalists had gathered the day before to see the Q7 launch to much fanfare. Day two arrivals included several production cars we hadn’t yet seen. Most of these were A3 models.

A 3.2 quattro S-line model gave a good hint at what we might expect in the USA later this fall. The car was fitted with S-line body kit, BBS-style wheels and good-looking aggressively bolstered sport seats with “S-line” logo emblazoned on the hide – the latter two features have yet to be confirmed for our market. Next to the 3.2 was a 3-door A3 with Audi Accessories body kit and wheels on the outside and “Individual Line” interior trim.

Crowds still gathered around the Q7 on the second day, making it difficult to photograph any of the four SUVs Audi had on display. Audi did have staff on hand around the four seven-seaters to answer more specific questions and several details were learned.

In regards to the black example displaying several Audi accessories, the DVD entertainment system shown was a prototype system. A headrest-based screen setup as with the Audi A8 is more expensive than expected Q7 buyers will bare. This system, utilizing A6 Avant kit components, is a prototype mockup made specifically for the show. It is said to be close to what we’ll see as a dealer-installed option, though expect the final system to be neater in packaging when it does make it into production.

The 21-inch wheels found on the black Q7 have not yet been approved for production. Thus far, a 20-inch diameter is as large as Audi has given the go ahead for on the SUV from the factory, though company representatives theorized that it was probably only a matter of time and that the handsome 21-inch wheels would probably make it at least into the accessories offering.

They also have great pictures of Lamborghini and SEAT.
