The car will miss the official preview day next Friday because it will appear at the Geneva Motor Show, which opens a few days after Melbourne's.

A second car is being shipped to Australia to maintain Audi's recent history of world-class displays at the Melbourne Exhibition Centre, but no one is being told what is coming.

"We can't say anything, nothing at all," Audi Australia's Anna Burgdorf says.

But she promises the car is something special and worth a trip to the show.

The debutant is most likely to be the new Audi A5 coupe, which has been announced but not seen.
In any case, Audi will also have its hot new R8 sportscar at the show. It will be rolled out of the spotlight only when the special guest has landed.
