A2
Audi has been studying the BMW's Mini and its success for a little while. As more and more manufacturers try their hand at luxury hatchbacks, Audi will build an A2 based on the Volkswagen Polo platform and offer Audi's famous Quattro AWD system and an optional turbocharged powerplant.

A5

The new Audi A5 is built on Audi's new platform which will eventually be shared with the majority of Audi vehicles. Engines for the base car will be the company's 3.2L V6 and 4.2L V8. The A5's powerplants will be mounted deeper in the engine bay. This allows for a lower hood height and to meet pedestrian safety requirements. An S version of the A5 will follow shortly after the late 2007 intro of the A5. The S5 will inherit the RS4's 414 hp 4.2L V8.

TT Roadster

Where there is a TT coupe, a TT roadster is sure to follow. Ignoring the current retractable hardtop craze, Audi decided to stick with a cloth top to keep the Roadster's curb weight and centre of gravity low. Longer and wider than its predecessor with more interior room, with extensive use of aluminum in the chassis, the new convertible is only 15 kilograms heavier than the last model. You'll be able to choose from the 200 horsepower 2.0T four or the 250 hp 3.2 six when both TTs, Coupé and Roadster go on sale in the spring of this year.
