Detroit is barely underway and already manufacturers are hinting at Geneva. Well, at least Audi is. The German carmaker announced yesterday that it will be unveiling a full hybrid vehicle based on its A8. A hybrid based on the Audi Q5 is also slated for production this summer.

The company plans to launch eight models this year, and aims to break the 1 million units sold mark this year, topping their 2009 tally of 950,000. Even though the sales dipped last year, market share increased as Audi’s dip in sales was not as bad as those of competitors.

Audi informed us of the electric A8 as they revealed the newest version of the E-tron in Detroit.
