The A7 Sportback makes use of a very light body made of high-tech steel and components fabricated from aluminum making it possible to depend on V6 engines. Most likely Audi will have a V8 option for the A7 in the near future.

The new member of the Audi garage rolls on 18 through 20 inch rims and makes use of a power steering setup that relies on efficient electromechanical technology. The car comes optional with LED headlamps while bi-xenon taillights come as standard.

Audi will give consumers options to get the A7 with V6 engines with two variants running on petrol and two other variants running on diesel. The car manufacturer has not yet released the full details of the powerplants. We only know off the 3.0L TDI that gives out 204 hp. The best of the line is said to produce around 300 horsepower.

All of the engines for the A7 Sportback will be coupled with automatic transmission which may come as a multitronic for the FWD variants or the 7-speed S tronic for the Quattro units.

The A7 Sportback variants will come with stop-start technology, thermal management, and energy recovery technology.

The A7 Sportback will roll out to European dealerships by fall with the tag price starting at 51,650 Euros.

Like any other motor shows, Frankfurt and the rest of the world will be in for a surprise. Here is a preview of the convertibles and coupes that will be on the spotlight:

Ferrari 458 Italia

The red stallion will be unveiling a new supercar in the form of a new 458. The 458 Italia will sport a V-8 with 4.5L displacement and outputs a monster 570 horsepower on a combo with 400 pound-feet of torque. The powerplant is coupled with a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox which can zoom the Ferrari 458 Italia from 0 to 60mph in a little below 3.4 seconds. Need to ask for the top speed? It is 202mph.

Reventon Roadster from Lamborghini

If there is smoke, there must be fire. It is not yet confirmed if we will really see a Lambo Reventon Roadster in Frankfurt but most likely we will. Talk about uber luxury that there will only be at max 10 of this car which will go into production. At 670 horsepower coming out of a V-12, its price tag speaks at $1.65 million.

2011 SLS AMG from Mercedes-Benz

The 2011 SLS AMG is the new gullwing from Mercedes-Benz. It will take the reign from the SLR Roadster as the leader of the pack. This car doesn’t have a problem going 0 to 60 in just 3.8 seconds

Audi R8 Spyder

This will be the convertible variant of the sportscar from Audi and will most likely have a V-10 in its engine bay.

This is another one of those cars that should definitely be qualified as sex on wheels. You can even hear it purr through the picture, like a low slung animal getting ready to pounce.

The styling elements alone are absolutely to die for; all by itself, the grille dominates the front. If you saw this thing coming at you, you’d be hard pressed to do more than stand there and just pray it would run you over, because what a way to go.

The attention to detail on this particular sports car is impossible and the fact that this car is revved up and ready to go it incredible.  Everything from the engine all the way to the rear spoiler really just screams attention and this car is definitely an attention-grabber!

The ABT Audi R8 features an aerodynamically efficient Abt body kit, which also includes carbon-fibre parts, is a real eye catcher but also shows the state-of-the-art Bavarian precision work, so you know that you are going to be getting a car that is not only beautiful but one that is well-made and will look great on the road!

Great car – thanks to Audi Blog for the pics.
