ABT, let's talk. Listen, we've been friends for a while now and you often build amazingly badass modified Audis . But the ABT Audi Q5 is just too much. We opened up your email today showing off the modified Audi Q5 along with a press release, and it took us a moment to overcome the 'Are they serious?' moment we had. We know you like flamboyant front and rear fascia changes and big gaudy wheels, but isn't this a bit much? Seriously, no quantity of engine, brake and suspension upgrading is going to get us into this thing. It's too much. Dial it down from eleven. Press release after the jump. galleryPost('abtq5', 3, 'ABT Builds Mini-Henge'); When the engineers and designers with ABT Sportsline intend to tune an SUV, you can be sure that the result will be an extraordinary vehicle. That has been the case with the Touareg, AS7 and Tiguan - and that will be continued with the new ABT Q5. The elegant crossover vehicle is by concept a premium model in the...

Not like anyone went to the trouble of revealing the 2009 Audi Q5 un -officially, but the point is the wraps have now come off the new Small-UV from Auto Union this morning ahead of the live reveal at this week's Beijing Motor Show. What more is there to say about this overgrown jellybean other than the press release below the jump? Well, Audi says the Q5 gets "slim, coupe-like styling." So, if you believe that — then go ahead and hit the jump because you'll believe just about anything. galleryPost('2009AudiQ5', 6, 'A Jellybean By Any Other Name'); The new Audi Q5: Sporty and versatile * The performance SUV from Audi raises the bar * Innovative technologies for dynamic driving excitement * Spacious interior with a myriad of intelligent functions The new Audi Q5 combines the dynamism of a sports sedan with highly variable interior and versatile options for leisure-time and family use.

These are absolutely the most exciting shots of the pending Audi Q5 we've ever seen. They've got us sitting right at the edge of our seats. Watch in excitement as the latest pointless utility vehicle makes a dramatic low speed right turn on a road winding lazily through an empty field. Ponder in amazement what reason Audi would ever have for building yet another crossover in an allready over-saturated market. Watch as you become stupified with astonishment as the shrunken Q7 makes it's worldwide debut at the China Motor Show in a couple of days, allowing you... ...to see the midsized suvvie completely unclad of the anti-spy photo cladding. Wonder with wonderment as you remember it's slated to go into production as a 2009 model year product in Europe with a US debut at the 2009 Detroit Auto Show . Astound yourself and the other eleven people waiting in anticipation for the new Audi crossover as you force yourself to have to manage with only these shots for the time being...

We were so busy with the Q7 review, it seems the newly minted Autobild artists renditions slipped right by us. Our German is rusty (more like seized up) so we're going to treat these with kid gloves, but it looks like a new interpretation of details on the BMW X3 fighter. Even though some of these images are really clear, we have a hard time believing they're undoctored photos. You never know what those photoshopping kids can pull off these days. Other details we could glean are the the split on the differential may be 40:60, and er, 2008 is the year of the Q5? Help us out here if you're a speaker cause they're probably telling the Q5 will be powered by its driver's sense of self satisfaction and thus they've created perpetual motion.

A number of Audi fan forums across the internet have a spreadsheet showing up that purportedly shows a list of each and every product launch in Germany for 2008 (high-res shot here ). Included in the spreadsheet are such noted notables as the Q5 and Q7 V12 TDI at the end of the third quarter, the Audi TT-S listed in the second quarter and the A4 Avant is listed with a spring 2008 reveal. But, what's most interesting is the power number revealed by the document for the Audi TT-S. The document claims the new S-uperpowered TT is rated at a mere 269 HP, much lower than the predicted 280 horses sources claimed the new up-powered TT would achieve with the 2.0-liter TFSI engine found in the S3. Will TT-heads still buy it? Our bet is yes -- but it surely disappoints given the previous conjecture. Well, who knows -- maybe it's just Audi low-balling their HP numbers again.
