Audi A5: Spy shot!

"The Car Connection" has a spy shot of the Audi A5!

The first mules of the new Audi A5 are undergoing testing in public and at the Nürburgring. The new Audi will be a sporty convertible adapting the design of Audi's concept car Nuvolari. That show car was on display at the Geneva Motor Show in 2003.

The prototype photo shows that the new A5 will be considerably larger than the current A4, almost the size of today's A6. With the A5, Audi expects to be a step ahead of the A4 cabriolet's competition, such as the BMW 3-series Cabrio, the Mercedes CLK and the new VW Eos.

The new Audi A5 convertible is going to be equipped with a traditional canvas top. Power is expected to come from two engines: a 3.0-liter TDI V-6 or a 3.2-liter FSI V-6 delivering 255 hp. The new model is expected to be released by the end of 2007.
