  • Audi A9 Concept Coming

    Sources close to Audi are saying a new concept serving as an A9 preview will be introduced in November at the Los Angeles Auto Show.

    Rumored to take the shape of a four-door coupe, the concept will be more than five meters long and will be based on the MLB platform. It will provide a first glimpse of Audi's new design language implemented by the firm's design chief Marc Lichte who also worked on the Volkswagen Passat B8 so don't expect a major makeover.

    The same report indicates the concept will serve as a preview for a range-topping Audi A9 believed to come out sometime in 2017. It will allegedly feature a "highly technical look" with a redesigned single-frame front grille, an aluminum body and laser headlights. According to a source cited by Autocar, "it builds on the design in place today but takes it to a whole new level."

    Audi's forthcoming concept will also showcase a new interpretation of the digital instrument cluster which debuted on the third-gen TT. In addition, new connectivity features will also be previewed before being implemented in the next-gen A8 and the rumored A9.

        The ones used on the R18 E-Tron are liquid cooled they get so hot. They have insane range compared to Xenon.

                Yeah it's so dumb. Let's go with a regulation set in the 70's according to those these lights are voodoo and unsafe so MURICA won't allow them.

                :(
