It was reported earlier this year that Audi is working on a new coupe-like sedan that would compete with the likes of the Porsche Panamera and the Mercedes-Benz CL. Known as the Audi A9, the model was reported to be much more advanced than the A7, which was originally thought to be the answer to the Mercedes-Benz CLS and Porsche Panamera types.

Well, it’s time to forget everything you know about the A9. According to a new report by AutoBild, the Audi A9 will be a two-door coupe based on the A8 platform and will source its main components from the MLB architecture (Modular Longitudinal Architecture)

Power for the Audi A9 will come from a new 4.0L V8 being developed by the company along with a range of other V6 and V8 units found in the A8 range.

Look out for the Audi A9 sometime in 2014.

    is it just me or does this look just like the BMW efficient dynamics concept?

    This is what I’m talking about, the A9 and Q6 will catapult Audi into the future, they are the most rounded (pun intended) of the German marquees. I will add this though, please do not turn this into a hybrid geezermobile, make this the practical mans Continental GT, an attainable top shelf luxury V that can be driven everyday without running bills that look like phone books.

    Finally Audi are doing something adventurous. This car and the recent Audi Quattro are good signs.They seem have re-discovered the mojo that created the original TT
    I just hope they make it.
