In this paper we study the regularized analytic torsion of finite volume\nhyperbolic manifolds. We consider sequences of coverings Xi of a fixed\nhyperbolic orbifold X0. Our main result is that for certain sequences of\ncoverings and strongly acyclic flat bundles, the analytic torsion divided by\nthe index of the covering, converges to the L2-torsion. Our results apply to\ncertain sequences of arithmetic groups, in particular to sequences of principal\ncongruence subgroups of SO0(d,1)( Z) and to sequences of principal\ncongruence subgroups or Hecke subgroups of Bianchi groups.\n
