Autos – Only two dozen will made at a cost of $648,000 a piece. It will reach 60 mph in 3.8 seconds and top out at 193 mph.

Autos – Official shots of the Audi A5 have unceremoniously surfaced on the internet ahead of the car's debut at the Geneva Motor Show next month. We're divided on the car's styling, with half getting a bit bored with Audi's well-worn design language and the other half impressed with its long elegant lines.
