If you are planning to go to this year's edition of the Auto Expo in Delhi make it a point to visit the Audi stand. That's because the German luxury car maker and one of the world's leading automobile technology developer promises to offer a spectacular show with its exciting lineup of cars.

Audi says there will be 10 exclusive cars that will mesmerise visitors, ranging from its sedans and sports sedans to SUVs to concept cars and even an LMP1 race car.

One of the most important launches that will happen is that of the Audi A3 sedan. The 2014 Audi A3 will become the automaker's entry level sedan, placed below the A4.

Expected to be priced in the INR 25 lakhs range the A3 will provide a new entry point into the Audi range for potential buyers. Audi expects this gorgeous looking sedan to become its best selling model after launch. The sedan certainly has the potential to even become the best selling luxury car in India.

Another attention grabbing model that will be on display is the Audi Sport Quattro Concept. This stunning and technologically advanced concept car was first previewed at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show in September.
