Audi Bringing A3 MPV Concept to Frankfurt 2013

Rumors of a people-carrying Audi A3 have only been around since the beginning of the year but it seems they're already making it official. A report from Autocar states that the Germans will bring a new kind of car concept to this year's Frankfurt Motor Show, which is about a month away. Boy does Audi move fast!

Reportedly called the V4 as a production car, the model will offer both five- and seven-seater variants.

This isn't the fist time they tried a stunt like this. In 2006, the Roadjet Concept made its debut in Detroit. As you can see from the picture we selected, it looks like the A3's previous generation but has a larger dobdy. The Roadjet measured 4.7 meters in length and was 1.55 meters tall, giving occupants ample headroom.

Of course, the car never reached production, but it shows that Audi has always thought about a mass market MPV. Too bad compact SUVs got in the way. Even if the V4 is approved for production after Frankfurt, Autocar says it could take three more years before it's able to meet your family's needs.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
