Audi A5 convertible renderings

Audi has confirmed production of its A4 cabrio will come to an end later this year and will be replaced early next year by the all-new A5 cabrio.

Unlike the previous A4 version, which was built by Karmann, the new A5 drop-top will be built by Audi at its Neckarsulm plant in Germany alongside the coupe.

Unlike its 3-series rival from BMW, Audi will likely employ a lightweight canvas roof for its new convertible that will save both on costs as well as storage space.

Not a bad photoshop. Looks a bit like the 330Ci in the rear.

Should be a stunner.

I'm so glad they're sticking with soft tops!

MB is offering a hardtop CLK since when?

bulldogz, we have gone through this before. I like soft tops, while you prefer hardtops. Let's leave it at that--it's no use arguing.

Don't be a smart ass. It certainly is personal. Hardtops are ugly, they eat up trunk space, they add weight and they don't offer any useful insulation over modern softies.

Looks great. Also dual clutch just wish audi would up the performance a little the A5 is very underpowered compared to the 335 and more money.

This is going to be a very hot item. I do think it is underpowered compared to BMW and slightly over priced. Styling is right on. I think that this car from a styling view is way better than bmw. Interior is wayyyyyy better than BMW. Good Job Audi!
