Leaked: Audi Roll Out Schedule Until 2012
Includes R4

Quattro Quarterly, sponsored but not run by Audi, has published an extensive list of what Audi's roll out schedule might be. Autoblog was first on its trail and posted the attached scan of the list. Audi really does seem to keep its word in regards to the amount of models they will have on offer.
A year by year lay-down of what to expect.
2008

Not big news here, so a quick recap. A3 Cabrio, A4 Avant, A3 facelift and Q5 will be making their way to dealers. In the second half of the year we should be welcoming the Audi TT-S, R8 with V10 engine and the Q7 Hybrid.
2009

Slowly the list is becoming more interesting. 2009 kicks off with the Audi A5 Cabrio, followed by the top-of-the-line Audi RS5 (Detroit debut?) and R8 Targa (Geneva debut?). Later in the year we can now expect the Audi A7 Coupe, the Q3 small SUV, a higher spec TT-RS and A5 Sportback. The WCF news crew can't wait to see the A5 Sportback, it may just become our favourite. The year ends with the introduction of the brand-new Audi A1, which has shown its face as the Metroproject Quattro in Tokyo.
2010

Audi will take the foot off the gas in 2010 with only three new models. But it will definitely be quality over quantity with the revealing of the new Audi A8 and Q5 Hybrid, followed later in the year by the new Audi A3.
2011

Life will be good in 2011, and we expect Audi sales to really go through the roof with the introduction of a brand new Audi A6 and A6 Avant with the A1 Cabrio set for release late in the year. But the real news for 2011 is the coming of the Audi A7 Cabrio and sporty R4, is it safe to say the TT successor? Whatever it will be, it will be hot and should sell like hot-cakes!
2012

Maybe a little too far in the future to really lay down concrete plans for, but Audi has an A4 facelift in the planning.

Audi R4 rendering:

 

wow that's great to hear. any rumors of what engine they're going to put in it? too bad there wont be plans for an RS3

 

No a4 facelift for 5 years? thats interesting

 

A3 will be 5yrs old when it gets its facelift too.

 

I'll be all over that R4 in 2011.

 

now THAT is what the R8 should have looked like.... remove the stupid LED lights and awkward side panel on the R8 and you've turned it into a beauty!!

 

nice info

 

I drove an A6 Avant today. Previously drove A6 sedan and A4turbo wagon.

The A4 turbo is the kick in the pants of these. the A6 feels more comfortable and spaciously inside, although has almost the same wheelbase. Supercharged 3.0 is quick and very smooth.

Anyone own a 2009 A6 or A6 Avant? How has the A6 been in terms of reliability?

 

The r4 should be interesting.

 

So where in all of this is the B8 RS4???

 

If only the rs5 was here now...thats EXACTLY what i need...oh well...v8 vantage may just have to do instead...

 

I don't see anything special about the R4. It looks no difference from the new TT.

 

Take the R4 over the TT any day if it looks like the proto.

 

That's because that's not an R4. That's a TT with a Niche body kit.

My two cents worth:

TT is based on A3/Golf platform

Is it reasonable to assume R4 may be based on the B8 A4 platform?
