We know it's going to happen, but we're not sure when the production version will launch. What we can tell you is that Audi will unveil the concept version of its upcoming new flagship, the A9, at the Los Angeles Auto Show later this month. Details are obviously being kept under wraps for now, but we previously reported that the A9 will ride on an updated version of VW's MLB platform. It'll also share its overall mechanical and electric package with the next-generation A8.

Despite being bigger and packed with more technology than the A7, the A9 will weigh even less thanks to heavy doses of carbon fiber and spaceframe construction. For now, Audi has just released this brief teaser video narrated by the A9's designer, who also happens to be the automaker's new design chief. We'll see his vision in just a few weeks' time.
