We just came across  the latest report stating that the Audi A9 Coupe could be launched as soon as 2014, probably by the end of the year. This car will come with foldable hood, low carbon emission system, durable doors, bonnet, car accessories and a lot more other features.

The model would be based on the A8 and built alongside the R8 at the factory of the manufacturer, located in Neckarsulm, Germany. We also get reports regarding the plans of launching a convertible variant, an A9 cabriolet by the year 2015.
