audi sportback concept

 Audi is clearly proud of its Sportback philosophy, which it defines as "the sporting elegance of a coupe, the versatility of a five-door model, sophisticated technology and pronounced sportiness."
First applied to the Audi A3, and more recently on its A1 Sportback concept seen at the 2008 Paris show, the Four Ring brand's latest Sportback-inspired intrepretation - the Audi Sportback Concept unveiled at the 2009 Detroit show -- is by far the most luxurious and daring of its five-door efforts to date and no doubt serves as a thinly-veiled concept version of the soon-to-arrive Audi A7.
Audi's now famous LED units for the Sportback are wider and flatter than past efforts, and the side mirrors are reportedly styled after jet wings for what the brand calls a "winglet" look. Other design cues include a new take on Audi grille that's not as high and loses the vertical struts, and air intakes under the headlights that help accuentate the Sportback's low and wide stance. Out back, there's plenty of A5 in the design, along with four exhaust pipes and a diffuser that augment the car's sporting intentions.
