Germany’s Autobild magazine has published a series of new artist’s illustrations depicting the widely-anticipated 2008 A5 convertible and the more mysterious 2011 A7 cabriolet. The A5 coupe is expected to arrive some time next year, and a convertible variant is a certainty about twelve months later. Recent spy shots and the Nuvolari concept give us a good idea of how the coupe will look, and chopping off the roof isn’t much of a stretch. On the other hand, less is known about the larger A7. While many reports suggest the Mercedes CLS competitor will arrive for the 2010 model year as a four-door coupe, not much has been said about the proposed convertible variant. According to Autobild the car will retain the four-door configuration of its coupe counterpart, even offering reverse-opening rear suicide doors. Currently, Audi plans to make both the A5 and A7 soft-tops, rather than hard-top convertibles, the report says. [Images: A5 top down | A5 top up | A7 top down].
