Audi is working on a four-door coupe that will take on models from Mercedes, VW and Jaguar. The future A7, set to be launched in 2009 will be built on the new A6 lightweight aluminum platform.
Under the hood the company will place a based 2.8-liter V6 FSI or the new supercharged 3.0-liter V6. The RS7 version will be powered by a 5.0-liter twin-turbo V10 engine, while the S7 will use a detuned version.

This image shows how the Audi A7 cabriolet could look when it arrives in showrooms in late 2009.
The car, which will go on sale a few months after the saloon model, is expected to feature a conventional soft-top roof in order to preserve the car’s boot and rear passenger space.
Engine choices are expected to be similar to those of theAudi A6, and include a 255bhp 3.2-litre V6 and a 350bhp 4.2-litre V8.
A Lamborghini-derived 435bhp V10 unit is also expected to be included in the range, linked to quattro four-wheel-drive.

SANTA MONICA, Calif. — Audi is hard at work on the 2009 A7 four-door coupe, and spy photographers are offering an early look at the future Mercedes CLS competitor.
The renderings illustrate possible styling details for the large coupe, while spy shots of the A7 mule look largely like the current Audi sedans. The mule is made up of an Audi A8 torso, mated to the front end of an Audi A6.
The four- or five-passenger coupe will likely be Quattro only, with a front-wheel drive version possible as an entry-level model in some international markets. The A7 is expected to ride on the next A6 platform, and will likely be powered by a 4.2-liter V8, with options to include a 450-horsepower 6.0-liter W12 and a 450-horsepower 5.2-liter FSI V10.
What this means to you: Mercedes-Benz introduced the idea of the four-door "coupe"; we'll see if Audi can perfect it with the A7.
