Following the world premiere of the Audi A5 and S5 at last week’s Geneva Motor Show, the automaker’s executives have hinted that it is working on a convertible version of the A5. This comes as little of a surprise, as it has been widely expected for nearly as long as the coupe version. Despite the trendiness of folding metal hardtops, The Car Connection is reporting that the Audi A5 convertible will feature a traditional soft-top. While its less expensive cousin — the VW Eos — features a folding hardtop, inside sources say that the near-universal choice was for the soft top.

The Car Connection is also reported that Audi is planning a even hotter RS addition for the new A5. With the S5 powered by a 350-hp 4.2L V8, the RS5 will likely feature either the 420-hp 4.2L V8 seen in the RS4 or the 435-hp 5.2L V10 used in the S6.
