Audi has made it quite clear that it intends to build a new flagship slotted above the A8. The market, notably that in China, demands for this happen and money can be made here. But one look at the A8 and it's evidently clear just how, well, perfect it is already. The damn rear seat alone is a nicer place to be than many people's couches. Yes, money and lots of it does buy extreme comfort. But Audi knows and wants to better, hence the upcoming A9.

And based and the more evolved styling language previewed by the Prologue Concepts (coupe and Avant wagon), rendering artist Theophilus Chin has come up with a gorgeous A9 proposal. These three images have pretty much convinced us the A9 is going to be just nuts. Beautiful. Bold. And nothing but presence. We're sold already.
