German sources are reporting today that the Ingolstadt manufacturer is planning to develop the Audi A9, which is expected to go on sale sometime in 2014. The A9 will be one of Audi's top models, which will offer even more luxury and equipment than the current generation Audi A8. The 2014 Audi A9 will be based on the same platform as the A8, but it will not be a sedan. Measuring around 5 meters in length, Audi's A9 will be available as a four-seat coupe and convertible only. Can you even imagine such a long coupe? The Audi A9 convertible will have a canvas soft-top, and, together with the coupe model, will feature fully retractable side windows.

The Audi A9 coupe's most obvious competitor will

be the Mercedes CL, while the convertible version might go on the same market segment as the SL. Merc's CL has long been alone on the large coupe segment, so the A9 doesn't seem such an eccentric idea.

If it will ever be a reality, the Audi A9 will probably get the larger petrol and diesel engines in the car maker's line-up. Our sources expect the Audi A9 to be priced from around 80,000 EUR.
