Audi roadmap @ Alles Auto

["Daniel Adams" <adamscs@interserv.com>]

While looking through the Austrian magazine Alles
Auto(http://www.drive-in.at/allesauto/).  I found a roadmap given by Dr.
Franz-Joseph Paegan, chairperson for Audi AG.  Since the article is in
German I paraphrase below.

Title : Fresh Ring-fighter!

For Spring of 99 they will offer a S3 with 225 HP turbo in all wheel drive.
The A6 will get the 3.7  and 4.2 liter V-8 with 260 and 310 HP respectively.
The A8 will get a 4.2 bi-turbo with 400 HP!

For summer of 99 brings the S6 with the 400 HP V-8 with 5 second 0-100 km/h
also a long version of the A8.

Autumn 99 starts a A8 with a TDI V-8 bi-turbo 3.3 liter sporting 200 HP.
And in November the A2 will be introduced to compete with the Mercedes
A-class.  The A2 will have Aluminum-bodywork weighing in at 800Kg and two
direct injection diesels (1.2 liter 3 cylinder with 60 HP and 1.4 liter 4
cylinder with 75 HP) and a 100 HP 1.4 liter 16 valve gas engine.

Spring 2000 brings the "Hunter" an A6-based car with permanent all wheel
drive, adjustable ground clearance, lots of chrome & leather and the 193 HP
2.8 V-6.  Also the new A4 and facelifts for the TT and A6.
