http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2009/04/car_photo_306597_25-250op.jpg (http://www.dfwautoclub.com/forums/www.automobile-magazine.fr/actualites/scoops/audi/audi_a5_sportback)Audi's relentless niche filling continues unabated with the imminent arrival of the A5 Sportback (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/audi+a5+sportback/) - the forthcoming A7 (http://www.autoblog.com/2009/01/11/detroit-2009-audi-sportback-concept-coming-soon-as-the-a7/)'s little brother. Reportedly based on the A5 coupe, the five-door Sportback will blend the A4's practicality with the A7's "four-door coupe" profile.
According to L'Automobile, power is expected to be provided by the usual suspects, including Audi's range of four- and six-cylinder engines. Count on the turbocharged, 2.0-liter inline four being fitted to the entry-level model and a few diesel options being made available to our friends abroad. Expect the 333-hp, supercharged V6 - currently equipped on the new S4 (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/2009+audi+s4/) and A6 (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/audi+a6/) - to be available further down the road, along with an RS version packing a 450-hp V8.
We are anticipating the A5 Sportback to arrive in concept form at the Frankfurt Motor Show (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/FrankfurtMotorShow/) this September, with the production version debuting at the Geneva Motor Show (http://www.autoblog.com/category/Geneva-Motor-Show-/)a few months later, with sales beginning in late 2010.
