What we have here is our best look yet at the convertible destined to replace the Audi A4 Cabrio. It's the A5 Convertible, but spy photographers have managed to do one better and snap the S5 version at what appears to be a photoshoot. Without any camouflage, the new S5 Convertible clearly exhibits all of the S5 Coupe's exterior accoutrement like a chiseled front fascia and larger wheels, and we assume it will also carry the coupe's powerful 354-hp V8. Sporting a cloth tap in lieu of a more expensive and heavy folding hard top, the A5/S5 Convertible is expect to take over Audi's drop top duties when it arrives in the very near future, either at the LA Auto Show next month or Detroit Auto Show in January.

With spy shots already out in the open, so to speak, anticipation is running rampant on the upcoming convertible version of the Audi A5/S5 coupe. The cabrio is anticipated to replace the convertible version of the A4, and is tipped to make its debut at the upcoming Paris Motor Show.

The photoshop rendering you see above was skillfully executed by Quinty, and gives us a pretty good idea of what the sporty S5 cabrio could look like. While its competitors opt for retractable hard-tops, the convertible A5 and S5 are expected to use a simpler (and lighter-weight) soft-top, surrounded by a chrome strip to class it up a little. Power will likely carry over from the fixed-roof version when the new convertible hits the market early next year.

Audi is intent on leaving no niche unfilled and the word from Inside Line is that the automaker is planning to unveil a cabrio variant of its A5 and S5 coupes. The convertible versions of the A5 and S5 won't be fitted with the folding hardtops that have become de rigueur among its luxury competitors, so expect a similar soft-top system to that found on the A4/S4/RS4 cabrio and TT roadster. Power will be provided by either the 265-hp, 3.2-liter V6 or the 354-hp 4.2-liter V8 found in the A5 and S5, respectively. Expect the new cabrios to debut later this year or early next, with sales beginning in the spring of 2009.
