2011 Audi A7 Spied - Click above for high-res image gallery
The intrepid spy shooters at KGP have caught the
2011 Audi A7 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.
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
conceptual predecessor shown earlier this year the
Detroit Auto Show. 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.
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
Geneva Motor Show 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.
