Scooped: Audi A5 Coupe

Audi's upcoming A5 Coupe has been scooped in Paris performing the usual test runs. By the looks of it, Ingolstadt's BMW 3 Series Coupe contender is one step from production. Judging from the size of the A5 in the pics, Audi's new Coupe is most probably based on the next generation A4 platform.

As for the engine range, it will be equipped with Audi's 2.0 TFSI, 2.8 V6 FSI & 3.6 FSI , while the top spec S5 & RS5 versions are expected to use powerful V8 motors (atmospheric for the S5, turbocharged for the RS5). According to our latest information, the A5 Coupe will go on sale in summer/autumn 2007, with a cabrio version following in 2008.
