Audi sets sights on BMW X6 New Q6 coupé SUV follows trail blazed by X6 , four-wheel drive and hybrid power on cards
The X6 is under attack! In its quest to fill every niche in the premium market, Audi is preparing a coupé-style SUV, likely to be called the Q6 – and our exclusive images show just what to expect.
The newcomer will be gunning for the controversial BMW X6, which has proved a runaway 
success, selling more than 110,000 units. It will be based on the same platform as the new VW Touareg and Porsche Cayenne, itself a shortened version of 
the Audi Q7’s underpinnings. Sacrificing some of that model’s huge load space, the Q6 will compensate with more style.
As our images show, the Q7’s blistered wheelarches and crisp surfacing will be carried over, but the smaller car will sport more steeply raked screens and a plunging roofline. Wraparound tail-lights and a curved boot spoiler create a visual reference to another Audi coupé, the A7.
While the front passengers 
will enjoy the same space and ambience as those in a Q7, the rear bench will be squeezed down to only two individual seats. Boot space will also be reduced, thanks to the lower and sleeker roof. Engines will include petrol and diesel V6s, while the same supercharged V6-electric motor combination as fitted to the Cayenne and Touareg hybrids is also on the cards.
All models will feature permanent quattro all-wheel drive as well – with the aim of boosting on-road stability more than mud-plugging ability.
There are even whispers of a flagship Q6 arriving later on, with the brand new 4.0-litre V8 turbo which will debut in the Audi S6 and Bentley Continental GT later this year. For proof that the market exists for such a car, just look at the 547bhp BMW X6 M – more than 3,000 have found homes 
globally since it arrived in 2009.
Due to the success of large cars such as the X6 in the Chinese market, it’s possible that the Q6 will make its world debut in concept form at next month’s Shanghai Motor Show. It should hit dealers late next year.
Recently we saw in photos and we can see and hear on video, spy video thanks to the convertible version of Audi’s supercar has achieved Auto Motor Und Sport.
No camouflage or anything that prevents us from seeing the real aspect of this new model also retractable canvas roof, incorporating some minor changes to the exterior aesthetics and apparently probably in the motor mounts on his back.
The question now is sounds like a V8 or V10?
Aesthetically, the first thing you notice is the disappearance of the entries cover the side air used in the coupe version displayed in another color than the rest of the body, also in this unit who have taken the spy photos body is painted matte black.
Among other things these inlets have been modified to make room for the hole in the roof to collect the canvas to let convertible.
Although the photos are not shown, the transparent engine cover to be maintained when driving with the top pick can see the engine in all its glory.
On the other hand have been added behind the headrest bars for creating a safety cage to ensure the integrity of the occupants in a rollover.
In principle mount the 4.2-liter V8 engine and 420 horsepower coupe that was already using, but probably also includes the V10 engine of 5.2 liters in the coupe will debut next Paris Motor Show.
