Default New B8 A4 test mule already??

Of course, it's a test mule so it looks like a B7.

Note the flaired wheels, looks awesome, but I'm surprised to read that the new A4 will be smaller, and maybe with a wider track?

EDIT: it looks like an RS4 but have seen photos from Hans before and he seems to know his Audi's.<ul><li><a href="http://www.thecarconnection.com/Enthusiasts/Spy_Shots/Spy_Shots_2008_Audi_A4.S178.A10313.html">2008 A4 spy shot</a></li></ul>

I hope they make it shorter overall by reducing front overhang.

It looks like a B7, because it is a B7.

Default I thought the coupe will be called A5 and the looks will be based on the Nuvolari concept?

Default Coupe = A5

There will still be a new A4 making an appearance sometime next year. There is a possibility we'll see something more of the A5 around September of this year.

Default The wheelbase looks long to my eyes for some reason.

Could just be the photos tho.

Default Could possibly be the RS4 DTM edition

A bit different rear bumper like that of the 25 quattro but note the gas flap and the outline of the original gas flap which is odd unless it's used for something else, who knows.
