Audi A3 Cabrio with Camouflage Removed by Computer

Back in September 2005 Audi boss Martin Winterkorn confirmed that the Audi A3 Cabriolet was coming, but was also quick to mention that it wouldn't be available until 2008. Now that 2008 is almost upon us, our shooters were able to catch a few spy photos of the A3 Convertible testing near Ingolstadt. If we can believe the rumours, the A3 Cabrio will be built in Audi's Brussels, Belgium, factory which Audi has just recently taken control over from Volkswagen. The factory is capable of producing some 30,000 A3's annually and is also scheduled to build the new A1 expected at the Tokyo Motor Show later this year. The look of the A3 Cabrio is not very surprising, with the front looking like the current A3 generation but the rear end seems to have been styled after the new A5. We're expecting to see the car in the flesh at the Geneva Show next March.

Audi Introduces Apple iPhone Integration in their Cars


German automaker, Audi has announced full Apple iPhone integration available on selected models. You will be able to browse your music and access phone features as an optional feature in the Audi A5, A6, A8, and Q7 models. The package integrates the iPhone with Audi's MMI interface.

If you recall, VW, owned by the same company as Audi was one of the first automakers to offer iPod integration in their cars as an optional feature. But accessing your music is one thing. Offering a hands-free option to answer your calls seems like a great feature to have. The picture, provided by HTLounge makes the interface look pretty cool too.

Audi A3 Cabrio: Spy photos




The design of Audi's new convertible is quite surprising: the front of the car remains the same while the rear reveals the design of the new Audi A5. Looks like the automaker from Ingolstadt borrowed the new stop lights from the A5 coupe to make the new convertible more attractive.
We can see that the new version will be a 4-seater cabrio with the back headrests acting as roll-bars. The Audi A3 Cabrio will have a soft top, a little disadvantage comparing it to the hard top from the successful Peugeot 207 CC.

Audi A3 Cabrio will be powered by a 1.4 FSI engine delivering 125 bhp, a 1.8 TFSI delivering 160 bhp, a 2.0 TFSI with 200 bhp but also a 2.0 TDI engine with 140 bhp. Also the 3.2  liter V6  engine will be available on the little cabrio.
