Audi's new coupé, the A5, has emerged two weeks ahead of its official unveiling at the Geneva motor show next month.
The official photos have leaked onto the Web, and reveal that the A5 has a family resemblance to the TT, and what looks to be a typically high-quality Audi cabin.
The A5 will be powered by Audi's 4.2-litre 420bhp V8, said to be behind the front wheels rather than ahead -- Audi's more usual layout -- and four-wheel drive. Transmissions will consist of six-speed boxes, auto and manual, plus the VW DSG box, which Audi calls S-Tronic.
The car will be of unitary construction, made of steel and use mechanical elements from the A4 and larger A6. A full four seats are planned -- it's not a 2+2 -- and it'll be practical, with 400 litres of luggage space. As a comparison, the current Porsche 911 has a luggage volume of 130 litres.
The concept, dubbed Nuvolari, was originally wheeled out at the 2003 Geneva Motor Show.
