Audi A3 Concept - Click above for high-res image gallery
Audi has released a few sketches of its Geneva-bound A3 concept, and in keeping with previous reports, the automaker is intent on bringing a sedan version of its smallest model to market.
Audi describes the A3 concept as a "four-seater notchback sedan" and measures in at 174.84-inches long - about six inches longer than the current five-door model. The front fascia is a further evolution of Audi's more aggressive snout, complete with full LED headlamps and new trapezoidal grille. The greenhouse is suitably squat, with an arching roofline that terminates in a thin, low-slung C-pillar to give it the de riguer "four-door coupe" shape.
More intriguingly, the powertrain is comprised of a turbocharged five-cylinder engine - likely pulled from the TT-RS - outputting 408 horsepower through Audi's Quattro all-wheel-drive system. We'll have a full report from the show floor in less than two weeks, but in the meantime, get the full details in the press blast below the fold.
