Andrew 30 Report post Posted May 14, 2007 INGOLSTADT, Germany — Photographers have spied the new 2009 Audi A4 testing at Audi's Technical Center here. Although the car is heavily camouflaged, the 2009 A4's overall size and shape is readily apparent. Built on Audi's new modular platform that underpins the Audi A5 coupe, this new A4 should deliver more balanced handling as the engine will sit farther back in the chassis. Audi has long intended to make the new A4 a more direct competitor to the sporty BMW 3 Series and this A4 may finally have the right formula. Powertrains have not been confirmed, but engines are expected to range from a 2.0-liter four-cylinder to a 4.2-liter V8 much like the current model. Front-wheel drive and Quattro all-wheel-drive variants will remain as well. The 2009 Audi A4 will make its official debut in September at the 2007 Frankfurt Auto Show. What this means to you: The 2009 Audi A4 could make you rethink your commitment to the BMW 3 Series. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
