Less than a week after the launch of the Dutch teaser site on the new A7 Sportback, and Audi announced today it will officially reveal the car at a special event that will take place on July 26, 2010, at the "Pinakothek der Moderne München", a modern art museum situated in the center of Munich, Germany.
The Ingolstadt-based automobile manufacturer did not release any other details about the event or the car. However, we do know that the new A7 Sportback (that's the official name used by the automaker) is the production version of the 2009 Sportback Concept and will be mechanically related to the next A6.
The five-door fastback model with the rakish roofline will provide Audi with a rival to the upcoming, second-generation Mercedes-Benz CLS (see photos here). It will slot between the A6 and the A8 in Audi's range, in much the same way that the A5 Sportback is positioned above the A4 and below the A6.
Like the 2011 Mercedes-Benz CLS, the new A7 Sportback will make its public debut at the Paris Motor Show at the end of September.

Can someone say "Aston Martin Rapide with Audi badges"?
The interior looks like a deck.
LOL
I would say "VW Passat, but with higher price"
I wouldn't insult Aston Martin
I don't care what anyone of you guys or girls say. This car is a beast of beauty. I really enjoy looking at it profiles. It has a real dominance appeal to it in which its makes the Rapide look like its a female and itself a beast, a manly car.

Hard to believe that the same car company responsible for the boring A4 and A8 is the same one that produces such beautiful automotive machinery as the A5,A7, and R8. From a styling perspective, I'm usually not a fan of german styling, I think the Italians take the prize for coming up with automotive artistry, but I'll give Audi it's due by saying that they are at the very least, stomping on both BMW's boring/dated design and MB's recent design, which I would simply characterize as looking "Korean". Then again Audi's stable of designers includes Italia design and Walter de Silva if I'm correct.
