    Audi R2 anyone ?

    Possibly a bit of fantasy works here - especially the alleged price. A mid engined roadster with 5 pot 2.5l turbo has some appeal though. Don't like the styling much - but its maybe a load of nonsense.

    That's a rubbish mockup pic. Could be amazing, have to wait and see. Another reference to quattro in there tho...

      That would be good next to my D2.
      I'd just need a C3 and a PO to go with it.

        No real logic in the designation of this car ...the R8 only exists as a homage to the race car, and is totally at odds with all other road car designation in the Audi range. Ironically, the racing R8 GT car is actually project R16 (as it was the next car that followed the R15, which is this year's sportscar).

          i'm still waiting for an S2 and RS2 to be rumoured. Sporting a 1.4TDI the new RS2 produces 3.5bhp, 3 more than the standard car. With 4 more US spec. cup holders and a new electronic safety device that stops you driving if there's an 'r' in the month...

            Isn't this the Audi version of the new Porsche / VW / Audi platform-shared small sportscar? Think the idea is that it will sit below the Boxster in the Porsche range.

            VW showed a concept called the BlueSport this year at Detroit which looks very similar:



            Can't find a link to an article about the Porsche version, but it also looks very similar.

              That looks very similar to the photos that were doing the rounds when they first announced the joint project with KTM a few years ago. Before KTM decided to go it alone with the X-Bow.

                Why on earth would it use Haldex if it was mid engined? RWD with Haldex clutched to the front wheels?

                PLEASE put a proper 4WD system in it!
