Audi A5 official?

AutoExpress has the first images of the A5 that seems to be official. Set to be unveil next month at Geneva Motor Show, the Audi’s Coupe will come to compete with BMW 6-Series.

The A5 will get "A new design. A completely new construction." This doesn’t reveal much, but does hint at the possible adoption of a similar composite aluminium body assembly to the R8 supercar.

Sitting in Audi’s sporting line-up between the TT coupé and R8, the new front-engined machine will be available with a range of diesel and petrol engines. Range-toppers will get a high-revving naturally aspirated V8. However, an even hotter version is also expected later, badged RS5. This will take on both BMW’s M3 and M6 and break new ground for performance Audis.
