FotoshopMonday: Theophilus Chin Takes Stab at B9 Audi A5 Coupe




The new Audi A4 hasn’t even popped up at a show yet, and still renderings of its many expected variants continue to be shared by artists across the web. Today’s #FotoshopMonday is of the A5 coupe variety from Theophilus Chin.

Quite obviously, Chin uses the B9 A4 and the outgoing A5 as his most obvious sources for design inspiration. Event still, he takes a few liberties with elements like Bentley Continental styled rear fender arches and shaving the jagged underside of the B9 A4’s headlight.

Interestingly, Chin implemented a taillight design that stretches the width of the car’s rear much like the prologue concepts.  You’ll have to check out his website (linked below) to see that detail, though we’ll admit we’d be surprised if the prologue design language found its way onto the A5 already.

Of course the new A4 will drop in just a few weeks at the Frankfurt IAA motor show in Germany. Though not expected to debut alongside, the A5’s arrival is imminent and so we wouldn’t be surprised to see it appear before now and the end of the year. Test mules of the car are not uncommon at this point, which means it is close.




What can we expect from the A5 as far as improvements and hardware? One need only look at the specs of the new A4 to see. As with current B8 models, the A5 range is expected to mirror the A4 range in most drivetrain and equipment.
