We have long been accustomed to the fact that Audi is not just the largest car manufacturer in Europe. This is a company whose engineers are not afraid to implement the most daring ideas. It is assumed that the new Audi A9 will not be an exception. In addition to the already existing 8 models from the “A” line, one more supercar of the “premium” class will soon be added. It is hard to imagine, but the length of the new luxury car will be more than 5 meters. And when you add to everything else, a luxurious interior trimmed with rare woods and first-class leather, it becomes seriously interesting!

History of Creation

Notably, the Audi A9 Concept was originally based on the futuristic Hybrid Sports Sedan Concept. The author of the project and drawings was the Spanish designer Daniel Garcia. It was his sketches that laid the foundation for the creation of the world's first car with the active introduction of nanotechnology. You can list all the “chips” of the novelty for an arbitrarily long time: here is a modern robotic gearbox, and an ultra-sensitive active suspension, and carbon brakes, and much more. Moreover, the ownerWith one touch of a button, the owner will be able to change the color (!) of the car. The use of nanotechnology in the design makes it possible to eliminate minor scratches and dents on the body without human intervention, which has not been on any car before.

Of course, the model with the above options will be sold in limited quantities. For those who want to buy an Audi A9 at a reasonable price, a simplified version of the car will be produced in two versions: a rear mono-wheel drive and a Quattro. Both models will be based on the Audi A8 platform. In total, two body types will be launched: a coupe and a convertible with a convertible top. According to information given in the media, the car will be two-door, not four-door, as previously reported. However, to appreciate the idea of engineers, just look at the Audi A9. Photos show that it looks more like a modern spacecraft, which makes the car even more desirable. The hood and roof of the car look especially elegant, as if they merge together.

According to the company's representatives, if the Audi A9 receives universal recognition, then in addition to cars with powerful six and eight-cylinder engines, a “charged” version will also appear. It is quite possible that the Germans can install a hurricane 6.3-liter W12 engine under the hood. If we talk about the power unit in more detail, then here motorists will be offered several options at once:

• 6-cylinder turbocharged engine with 290 hp and a volume of 3 l;
• 211 six-cylinder enginehp and a volume of 3 l;
• 520 hp W8 engine and a volume of 4 liters. with two turbines;
• 420 hp W8 engine with two turbines for 4 l.

Production for the production of Audi A9 coupes and convertibles will be established at the Neckarsulm plant, the official price has not yet been disclosed, but according to preliminary information, it starts at $140,000. And although Audi is striving to seize leadership in the market, competitors are already on its heels with might and main. For example, Mercedes-Benz has already submitted its new CL model to the court, and Porsche, Aston Martin and other auto giants will not give up their positions. Serial production of the car is scheduled for late 2014 - early 2015.
