The intrepid spy shooters at KGP have caught the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/2011AudiA7/">2011 Audi A7</a> uncovered in a testing lab in Germany ahead of its official reveal next year, and the sleek, low-slung saloon/coupe hasn't lost much of its flavor in the transition from showcar to production.<br />
<br />
Although the shots don't give us a clear view of the front fascia, the headlamps and front clip have obviously been toned down from its <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/01/11/detroit-2009-audi-sportback-concept-coming-soon-as-the-a7/">conceptual predecessor</a> shown earlier this year the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/DetroitAutoShow/">Detroit Auto Show</a>. However, its sloping roofline and well-integrated hatch would appear to prove that at least one automaker can create a five-door hatch that's simultaneously attractive and functional.<br />
<br />
If our tea leaf-reading is accurate, we'd expect to see the A7 make its production debut either in Detroit this January or at the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/GenevaMotorShow/">Geneva Motor Show</a> in March. Powertrain options should include everything from Audi's turbocharged 2.0-liter inline four to the S4's supercharged six, along with a V8 option further down the line. And if the BMW 5 Series GranTurismo proves to be a hit in the States, we won't be at all surprised if Audi follows suit and by offering the A7 in North America.<br />
