there is only one question left: is the engine behind or on top of the front axle? if it's ahead of it, it's going to be like a porsche on reverse..

Pretty much Audi's standard operating procedure.

Audi promises razor-sharp handling thanks to an engine placement behind the front wheels

So...does that make it mid-engined, then? Not sure on the exact definition of that term...
 
I don't really like it that much. Way too much regular Audi styling. It's just an A4 at the front and completely bland at the rear. They got the rear so wrong, unbelievable.
I loved the Nuvolari/A5 concept though. I'm amazed they still managed to ruin it. Really quite an achievement since this is what they started with:

Is Chris Bangle now with Audi?
 

..and does that apply into V6, V8 models etc as well?:|
 
Merc and BMW are going down the drain and Audi is just getting better and better. They have a bunch of sexy cars in their lineup now... excluding the new TT.

Excluding? Are you serious? The TT is the sexiest model in the Audi lineup...hell its meant to be!
 
I dunno, always seemed too girly to me. Even girlier than the Z4/SLK.

Yeah but can't girly still be sexy to a man?

/shit, I hope I don't regret saying that :lol:

lol, although I fully agree TT is so good looking, though I would never drive one.

Ya I'm with everyone else on 3 series look a-like. Although this definatly looks better with the audi grill, I love it. The also S5 looks alright.

I agree the new TT is sexy, but not the sexiest.

I reckon this is Viagra on wheels. If I had a chance to own one of these, I'd proudly call myself an Audisexual.
 
i love that A4 avant too, but wasn't this thread supposed to be about the A5 concept? :lol:

i've only just found this thread, so here's my opinion on it. looks nice, but nothing special. new audis all follow the same sort of idea, and have similar designs, but there's ne=othing new. the interior is still black, with very little aluminium. wheel looks a bit different, but new would be nicer.

that's right.. in slow corners that is.
 
well it did do a lap in 1.25.x so that aint too bad
 
so is this the size of an A4 or an A6 and why would one not want 4 doors over 2?
