    Audi production schedule leaked 2008-2012


    [IMG]
    Audi announced the A4 Cabrio's production is coming to an end just last month, so the A5 convertible will be the maker's entry-level drop-top in North America. The model is scheduled for a premiere at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit in January of 2009. This is confirmed by a photo and reports of Audi's model rollout schedule for the next five years that was printed in enthusiast publication, and has since been published on the web. Among the model releases is an A5 convertible and nary a mention of the seventh generation A4 drop-top.

    The A5 convertible — which will go head-to-head with the BMW 328i convertible – should begin production in late 2008 in time for an early 2009 launch. Following the launch of the A5, Audi will begin producing the S5 convertible to compete with BMW's 330i convertible. However, unlike the BMW hardtop convertibles, the Audis will do with a more conventional soft top to keep costs and weight down.
    Power for the A5 cabrio is expected to be sourced from a 3.2L FSI V6 — with Europe getting two optional diesel powerplants — while the S5 will get a V8 with around 350 horsepower.
    We summarized the schedule for you, noting the model introduction or update, its launch date and where it will be produced, which came courtesy of enthusiast mag Quattro Quarterly.
