More on the 2008 Audi A5 (first spy shot?)

Last week, we brought you a cover scan of Germany's Autobild magazine, showing an artist's illustration of the forthcoming Audi A5 coupe. Autobild has since published a rear-view illustration and what appears to be the first actual spy shot of the car. While some obvious doctoring has been done to the spy shot, it does appear to be an actual photo with an edited background and some airbrushing. In addition to the new images, the magazine has also published some details on the new car. According to the report, the car will debut at the Geneva motor show in early 2007. The car will be positioned somewhere between the BMW 3-Series coupe and the 6-Series. Engines will range from 162 to 265 horsepower for the standard model. Meanwhile, a high-performance 2008 S5 will offer 353 horsepower, and and an even more powerful RS5 will follow in 2009. [Front illustration | Rear illustration | Spy shot]
