Audi A9 design by Daniel Garcia - Click above for high-res image gallery
With every number from
A1 to
A8 having already been assigned,
Audi is rumored to be working on an A9 to top its ever-expanding range.
Earlier
reports indicated that the A9 would arrive as a four-door coupe to take on the likes of the
Mercedes-Benz CLS. But while a four-door model may be in the cars, the latest word from
Autobild is that the A9 will arrive first as a two-door coupe and convertible.
Platform underpinnings are still tipped to be shared with the upcoming
Lamborghini Estoque, as well as the next-generation
Porsche Panamera,
Audi A8 and possibly the next
Bentley Continental GT as well. If a four-door model follows, the A9 could follow a similar derivative rollout scheme as the
A5, which came first as a coupe before being turned into the five-door Sportback version. Either way, we suspect it won't look anything like the
rakish A9 concept conceived of by independent designer Daniel Garcia shown above.
