I think that looks fabulous. Assuming Audi make a car for such a category, which seems increasingly likely, I think they could be on to a serious winner. Just make what they see here and see them fly out. Super looking but I will stick with my R8 4.2 R-Tronic.

I'm highly doubtful too. The renderings looks great but i don't think this car fits in the model range.

Actually, we will see this car both as the VW Concept Blue and the Audi R4, which justifies the cost of tooling and of manufacturing unit cost. The only place WCF got it wrong is that the 2-wheel drive version will be rear wheel drive.

I hope this replaces that fat looking TT. I'd get a Boxster-based Audi coupe/roaster any day over a Golf-based one... Won't you?

it won`t replace the TT, cause this is a midengine sportscar concept with 2 seats. the TT has 2+2 seats and a front engine and is successful, so Audi may be adding the R4 to the range.

There is still A5, which has 2+2 seating. I think that TT is popular because of it's lightweight and agility. No one sits in the back seat of TT. So new small mid engined light weight car could replace TT and A5 could handle people who like more than 2 seats.

They could realize economies of scale were Porsche to produce a version of this. It would be a sub Boxster/Cayman Model. It could be a spiritual successor to the 912 and 356.

there was another speculation of an R6 if I am not wrong. What happened to that car?

mid-mounted engine and "the lesser versions get FWD". Quality journalism here...
