The 30th anniversary of Audi's Quattro technology spawned this lovely homage. The car we'll likely get in the showroom, however, will be the product of a Porsche-engineered platform for the VW Bluesport Coupe and Convertible, the Porsche 550 and the Audi R5 (think of it as a not-so-poor-man's R8). The chassis goal for all three is exceptionally low weight, far lighter than anything presently in this class. Though all three will be sports cars, they'll achieve impressive fuel economy.
Some speculate that the Audi motor will be the 340óhp five-cylinder from the forthcoming TTRS, along with Quattro AWD and DSG transmission, and that the yet-more-serious R5 will be priced above the extremely capable TTRS, and perhaps won't even be much cheaper than an R8. That gets interesting, because then you're talking about an Audi competing with the Porsche 911.
