There it was introduced in 2004, which have significantly more customers for the Four with the large tailgate than for his three-relatives decided. Nun soll diese Art der Anziehungskraft auch auf andere Modelle ausgeweitet und auf grobere Audi ubertragen werden. Now this kind of attraction to other models and expanded to larger Audi transferred.

In the study presented now produced in side view a horizontal rib, which extends from the front fenders to the rear, provides a visual aspect. The roof rises initially zestful and then swings gently down to a small rear spoiler. This runs into a slight arc from fender to fender.

The interior is of a strictly horizontal dashboard dominates the center console between the seats is clearly separated. The rear to take two individual seats, by a console with stowage compartments are separated. Will the design of bonds, which are also already in the study of the A1 Sportback concept at the Paris Motor Show hinted, is in the motorization of the new study on the latest developments recourse.

The study shows clear intent Audis, the A3 Sportback imported concept now also extended to other series. A A7 in the upper middle class obviously does not give, but occurs at the end of the year, the A5 Sportback in.
