Audi Quattro

Just thought I'd show you guys a cool video I found. Video is kinda old, but it shows the Audi Quattro concept. The interesting thing is that it weights ~2800 pounds, producing 400+ hp with a 5 cylinder. That to me seems like amazing numbers! To me, this seems like a slightly heavier 86, but with TWICE the power! Ofc this car will be way out of the 86's price range if it ever comes into production. But I bet this could give the BMW 1M and M3 some healthy competition. :P

Yeah, kinda. Looks bulky. And it's AWD instead of FR. Cool looking though, I like that all digital instrument cluster!

2 seaters, ~1300 kg with 400 hp turbo engine, accelerate from 0 to 62 mph in 3.9 seconds. Pretty fast car, but thanks no thanks.

PS: Monks from Shaolin Temple can bear beard.

Not sure what their price estimate is, but I would take this over a Audi TT without a question.

It is a concept. How would they have a price when it isn't even going to production?

Exactly. No point in having that kind of model competition. I'd love to see another Audi Sport Quattro...affordable AWD turbo powuh.
