Has anyone seen this before? It's modeled after the Audi Silver Arrow, but much more modern, of course.

Ming,

Please post threads like this in the "Off Topic" section. This has NO S2000 content and Cthree has made himself clear about this. Please try to do your part.

Yeah, it's a beastie... powered by their W-18, I think? Which is something like three VR6 engines stuck together with high-tech bubblegum and duct tape, pumping out some insane amount of HP (can't recall off the top of my head).

Looks are, like the other Audi's, questionable to many. Looks downright scary to me. Not scary as in ugly... but scary as in you'd expect people in a gothic hell to be driving this car (-:

Sweet Jesus! That has to be the ugliest car I have ever seen.

Have the Audi engineers been hitting the pipe?

I think this design is trying to evoke the look of the Auto Union GP cars of the 30s, what with the extreme cab-forward motif. Personally, I think it blows.

Next you'll be hearing about how wonderful the interior is.

That thing is ugly as hell. Its only slightly uglier than the ugly TT. Gack, puke and double puke.

I understand the "retro" continental kit, but are there any pictures of the front of the car?

Man, that thing brings new heretofore unknown dimensions to the word 'ugly.' But if it has that 18 cyl motor, holy moses!

And did anyone else how much it resmebles the TT from the side? Yes, it's flatter, but I see a remarkable degree of similarity. Next time you see an A4 or variant, check out the tail lights...I see a strong resemblance to the TT there, as well...

But as for this thing...wow, it's like Audi is just trying to win the Ugliest Car contest...
