Preview: 2013 Audi A3 Convertible

In early March 2012, Audi has unveiled its new-generation A3 of the vintage 2012th During the very first Audi A3 generation never could roll a convertible at the start, the Ingolstadt in 2008 they beat out the long-awaited A3 convertible. And also for the generation A3 with the internal name "8V" there should be sunny convertible potential. In late 2013, the new Audi A3 Cabriolet will be presented.

Audi wants to set its based on the Golf platform, 7-A3 family even wider by 2014: after the 3-door model is had come as a 5-door Sportback. A 4-door sedan and convertible are just as safe an A3. To assume that Ingolstadt will build his convertible based on the three-door A3, as shown on our designs.

Like his brother closed the convertible also comes with more pronounced headlights, an imposing front, with numerous, imparting momentum beads and LED taillights.

According to Audi A3 Cabriolet is the information as usual be equipped with a fabric roof - fitted with hydraulic drive, it should be open in just nine seconds. The fabric hood is a 2013 semi-and fully automatic versions - as sound and heat insulated acoustic top - up for election.

The A3 Cabriolet is the latest information from 2013, according to run with four petrol and two TDI engines from the band. Most of them will be the new start-stop system on board. For the three most powerful engines, the S tronic with six or seven courses on offer will be, all engines will give up their power is still on the front wheels.

Still shrouded in some official ideas based rumors about Audi A3 sedan or even an A3 coupe that could serve as an ideal base for a sportier and more new Audi A3 Cabriolet generation. Currently, however, this seems more wishful thinking than a realistic assessment to be.

After the price increase in three-door A3, we assume that the A3 Cabriolet will be no more from € 25,000 to have.
