I think, Porsche will throw a fit when the VW BlueSport comes out or whatever they decide to call it.

From what I've read it'll slot in above TT and below R8 (obviously) in Audi's range.

Audi knows there's cachet in the Quattro name and it's using all of it to draw attention to its Quattro Concept at the 2010 Paris Auto Show.

Shorter, lighter and more aggressively styled than the RS5 on which it is based, the Quattro Concept is a descendant of the original 1984 Sport Quattro. Almost 6 inches have been chopped from between the RS5's wheels, bringing the concept's wheelbase down to 102.4 inches. The new Audi concept's roof height is about 1.5 inches lower than the RS5 and its rear overhang has lost 7.9 inches, making it proportionally similar to many sports cars.

With a claimed weight of 2,866 pounds, the Quattro Concept weighs about the same as the original Sport Quattro. The majority of the weight savings comes from the shorter dimensions and the use of aluminum and carbon-fiber construction. The concept's hood, rear hatch, bumpers and other trim pieces are built from carbon. Seven-spoke 20-inch center-locking wheels probably aren't helping the weight-saving effort.

Because of the shortened wheelbase, the concept is a two-seater that uses lightweight bucket seats weighing only 39.7 pounds each — a savings of about 40 percent vs. the standard RS5 seats.

Audi released few mechanical details. The Quattro Concept utilizes a turbocharged five-cylinder engine and six-speed transmission driving — you guessed it — all four wheels.

Inside Line says: It's a cool idea, but few cars, concept or not, are as tough-looking as the original Sport Quattro. — Josh Jacquot, Senior Editor

Cool Camaro(rear and side). Front looks like that old Scion concept. Still looks damn good though!

It will be interesting to see how this morphs to a production version but I do like what I see so far.

Nice Audi Camaro

JessePS

It better get reworked.

dunnojack

i look, and i think WTF?

I thought the A7 would be the most awkward. But this one has the A7 beat in that dept.

i know it's a throwback to the 80's....... but the front and rear look to be from different centuries.
The front is futuristic. The rear is just squared off from the 80's.

again, a carmaker with 2 different teams working on the front and rear, then gluing their crap together

totally unbalanced look. not sexy at all. FAIL

hire peter schreyer back.

I have seen this comment tons of times to describe new cars as of late.

Audi front ends are completely unimaginative. Huge giant grill, some headlights =Audi front.

Strangely the front reminds me of the FT-HS while the rear fender and roofline remind me of the new Scion tC

Front end Fuse, rear end Camaro.

I would have been impressed with the weight if the Lambo didnt exist. lol
