Audi A9: it is the flagship sports

It is not until a few years, but in 2015 should finally reach the future Audi A9, premium car segment, which should be placed above the flagship A8. Very few news leaked out at the headquarters in Ingolstadt. It is not in fact know if this will be a 4-door coupe, or even a classic 2-door convertible model.

But what is clear is that the future Audi A9 will deal directly with cars like the Aston Martin Rapide (and here is a trend towards a 4-door coupe) and the Mercedes CL (coupe traditional). As expected in a large margin for Audi latest technology with the use of lightweight materials for body and body, seen on the A8 and R8 sisters.

The rest of the production plant would be the technology center in Neckarsulm which should be out in 2015 for the final marketing. Great unknown even for the engines. The most likely hypothesis at present would be a 3-liter V6 supercharged 200 horsepower as well as a first step, with the assistance from a much more thrust and thirsty, a 4-liter twin-turbo V8 capable of delivering 520 horsepower well ( designed in collaboration with Bentley).

The only thing certain is that the new Audi A9 Quattro all-wheel drive certainly will.
