Looks good.

Looks nice.

Is that a concept though or the real deal?

 

Was thinking exactly the same thing.

That looks a real beast.

 

That's the real car, I've sen vids of it on the road on youtube. This is what Audi have been planning all along. Steal all the knowhow from Lambo, erode the brand and sell it on, knowing you've either kept or copied their best bits.

 

Nah, it's a luxo barge GT more like a DB9 than a Murcie or Gallardo.

Lots and lots and lots of toys, and I bet the suspensions reasonably soft.

Think about it. It'll compete with M6, AM V8, CL/SL. It's a sector that Audi have been notably absent from.

 

There is some very interesting technology as you'd expect.

Hopefully, Audi will use the driveline in front-engined cars, too. Nice they've finally worked ot the correct order for the oily bits.

I like the Auto-Union racer styling references. But I thought supercars were supposed to be low to the ground; it looks like an SUV, especially on those silly wheels.

 

The rear is pretty awful IMHO. I can think of better ways of spending my hard earned.

 

No-one in their right mind's actually gonna BUY one!

I thought the Honda/Acura NSX had a badge problem...

 

I think it's fantastic - I'd have one any day.

Can anybody lend me some cash?

 

How many TTs did Audi sell?
