Audi shows a mysterious last-gen A3 Cabriolet with six doors and eight seats - Digital Trends

Pictures of a mysterious Audi A3 Cabriolet with six doors and no fewer than eight seats have surfaced online. We’d be a lot less surprised if this topless limo was the work of an independent body shop, but media outlets across Europe claim it was designed and built in-house by Audi. The six-door A3 started life as a last-generation A3 Cabriolet, a model that was sent to the chopping block in 2013. It’s all but identical to its regular-production counterpart up front, but it is fitted with four extra frameless doors and two... There’s no mention of what the convertible is powered by. Similarly, whether it’s front-wheel drive or whether it boasts what’s likely to be the longest driveshaft ever fitted to a quattro-equipped car is up in the air. Another big question mark surrounding Audi’s plus-sized convertible is why it was built. It looks like a parade car, and it even flies the flag of the Free State of Bavaria, the German region where Audi’s home town of Ingolstadt is located. Source: www.digitaltrends.com
