Leaked: Audi Roll Out Schedule Until 2012
Includes R4
Quattro Quarterly, sponsored but not run by Audi, has published an extensive list of what Audi's roll out schedule might be. Autoblog was first on its trail and posted the attached scan of the list. Audi really does seem to keep its word in regards to the amount of models they will have on offer.

A year by year lay-down of what to expect.

2008
Not big news here, so a quick recap. A3 Cabrio, A4 Avant, A3 facelift and Q5 will be making their way to dealers. In the second half of the year we should be welcoming the Audi TT-S, R8 with V10 engine and the Q7 Hybrid.

2009
Slowly the list is becoming more interesting. 2009 kicks off with the Audi A5 Cabrio, followed by the top-of-the-line Audi RS5 (Detroit debut?) and R8 Targa (Geneva debut?). Later in the year we can now expect the Audi A7 Coupe, the Q3 small SUV, a higher spec TT-RS and A5 Sportback. The WCF news crew can't wait to see the A5 Sportback, it may just become our favourite. The year ends with the introduction of the brand-new Audi A1, which has shown its face as the Metroproject Quattro in Tokyo.

2010
Audi will take the foot off the gas in 2010 with only three new models. But it will definitely be quality over quantity with the revealing of the new Audi A8 and Q5 Hybrid, followed later in the year by the new Audi A3.

2011
Life will be good in 2011, and we expect Audi sales to really go through the roof with the introduction of a brand new Audi A6 and A6 Avant with the A1 Cabrio set for release late in the year. But the real news for 2011 is the coming of the Audi A7 Cabrio and sporty R4, is it safe to say the TT successor? Whatever it will be, it will be hot and should sell like hot-cakes!

2012
Maybe a little too far in the future to really lay down concrete plans for, but Audi has an A4 facelift in the planning.

R4 and A4 Avant renderings look good.

I wonder what the A5 sportsback going to look like? I can't imagine it, no matter how much I try.. it will be like a slightly sportier A4 avant??
 
Sounds good. That R4 render has an Evo X front, but it still looks good.
 
Wow, that's hell of a lot of new releases up to one year, do they trust the mayan calendar or something. (why do people still bibber on about that crap? After all, we celebrate Christmas around this time of year, not Quetzalcoatlmas)

There has been alot of gripe from Audi owners that say their cars depreciates too fast because the model gets replaced every 3years or so.
 
holy mother of #$%$%!,the RS5 looks amazing!!!

even if its only a rendering, before you lot bite my head off
 
Go Audi man, I hope they rule the world :)

If they could get their car's engines to run on regular and get the mileage up a little but still keep em as awesome as ever, f$ck YA!

So what's the difference between the A4 cabrio and the A5 cabrio? Or aren't they making the A4 cabrio after this model.
 
^ Yeah, I don't see the point of an A5 cabrio. I think that, being Audi, they will make both anyway :rolleyes:
 
I think that's the point... the 2-door A4s will now be A5s.

They'll all end up looking the same, just like they do now. The only difference will be the badge on the trunk.
 
OMFG! Do want the RS5 rendering to look like that for real! Ive always likes Audi's handsome yet aggressive styling
 
I bet that info is... like... totally leaked. Like.... really.

Or maybe its just what some random motor journalist dreamed up in the closet.

Still, sounds good.
