Reminds me of the challenger more than the camaro
I don't know not a fan of the overall proportions of this car, too tall and not wide enough

maybe its just the pictures......i remember when the 6 series came out ( back in 2004?) i thought it was too high and bubbly but when i saw one in person i thought differently

[Jegz]

Front looks like ironman. I like it

[MindBomber]

I'm not feelin it..

Euro cars have a refined styling, simple but perfect. This concept looks like the bastard child of a domestic and euro manufacturer.

[bloodmack]

I like how it doesn't look like an Audi. Take the wing away and maybe stretch it a bit more. Euro cars are not simple and perfect FYI

Show me simple and perfect and I'll give you a cookie mindbomber

[Euro7r]

Good thing this is a concept lol. Not digging it at all.

[flagella]

lol, not just the back. The first pic reminded me of camaro. Ugly

[EmperorIS]

I've always like the american muscle car looks ... just not the american brand .. this would be perfect

[StylinRed]

doesnt say Audi Quattro at all


looks more like someone with a Camaro or Challenger pulled an Arash (although the front on this is pretty sexy)

[taylor192]

I think most here are too young to remember what the Quattro even looks like.
The styling does a good job of blending the old with the new. I like how they've taken a bit of everything:
- black bar across the rear
- "coupe" writing across the rear becomes "quattro"
- the tail lights wrap around
- the tail lights have the modern Audi design
- the best feature, the flared fenders have returned! sorta... the body line crease make it look like the entire car is flared :)

Looks pretty pimp IMO

[Lomac]

Repost. :p

And I'll echo my comments the last time it came up... If Volkswagen released a new generation of the Corrado, it would look exactly like this.

I like it though.

i know what ur saying but i always look at the quattro as an off roading rally car and the new one just doesnt fit that description ;)


nice drawing

:p

I know what you mean, yet :p Rally cars are not as boxy and rugged as before. Subaru went away from the boxy design recently, and Peugeot, Ford and Citroen have been racing stylish hatchbacks that would look more comfortable on a race track than offroad. Mitsubishi stands out as the only one left with that classic boxy style.

[EuroRepresent]

WOW that car looks amazing..what's wrong with you ppl?

this picture reminded me of the VW corrado rather than the old quattro. maybe it's just me haha

Thanks Professor, I'm glad an expert was here to correct me :thumbsup:

[AzNightmare]

Has a bit of a muscle car feel to it...

[taylor192]

This is the Sport Quattro, a special shortened higher performance version of the original. Notice the hood styling.

I expect to be called Prof. Mack now every time you refer to me.

[boss_clad]

[death_blossom]

gorgeous car. imo, it captures the look of the old Audi coupe/Quattro more than a Corrado. if the nose was longer, then it'd be more Corrado-esque.

[VrrM604]

Might be a repost but I Just came across the youtube video of the quattro

I think it will only be released in a very limited production number like 500 units or so. Might as well just get the Audi TT RS same engine and specs.

Audi Quattro Concept Review

[jungle168]

This thing is great to look at but with Audi planning such a small limited run the price would be astronomical to make it even remotely profitable. Definitely not good bang for your buck.

[rJZx]

^Neither is the Lexus LFA :troll:

except this looks 500X better than the typical TT out there.

[PiuYi]

can someone explain how a 5 cylinder engine is structured? I know how V6 and boxer engines are, but they're more symmetrical... how would a 5cylinder engine work?


and any guess why they'd use it in a car like this yet its not very mainstream?

It would be an inline 5 cylinder. How do you think 4 cylinder engines are aligned? a V4?

Volvo also has inline 5 cylinder engines
