Default Audi "Prologue" concept tease..Could this be the rumored A9?

Originally thought to be a 4-door, but perhaps the sports/luxo 2-door S550 coupe contender that has been missing from Audi's line-up. Preview of the concept vehicle at LA Auto Show either Monday or Tuesday.

Been getting a LOT of questions on this lately in person...

The wheels are hideously oversized on what looks like an A7 that was sat on.
Which makes me think they are going up against Tesla

Let's see what the actual concept car looks like. From what I'm now reading, still looks to be targeted against the Benz S class coupe. Might still turn out to be a new 4 door flagship a tier above the A8---which I thought never made sense. Makes more sense as a 2-door luxo sports coupe IMO.

Agreed.
Saw the teaser video last night and thought "That is to the A8 as the A7 is to the A6"

Default 4-door image. Is it next gen A8 or A9?

Might be a photoshop of concept of Audi's A8/A9 design thinking. It's obviously a 4-door sedan, but that front end is a virtual match to what's been teased thus far for a possible A9. Perhaps A9 coupe as an off-shoot of next gen A8 sedan?
