Audi Quatrro Concept - wow

HVYWGHT · 10-09-2010, 08:51 PM

I'm not a huge Audi fan, but this Quattro is breathtaking. And promises good performance. That is Audi remembers to include steering feel in the engineering process.

The proportions and lines are spot-on. Overall clean design, mildly fussy front.

The rally concept looks pretty awesome, very easy to see where they got there inspiration from. I hope they go back to Pikes Peak, it would be awesome to see a quattro smash the open class record.

Side profile looks like the Scion tC. Hideous.

^ while the official statement states that the car will be manual I am not so sure that when it makes it to production that this will remain the case. When a car is championing advanced technologies that always includes dual clutch transmissions, so I would expect DSG to be included. Not only that but DSG will benefit the life of the transmission because launching a car is extremely hard on drivetrains and LC has a better chance of protecting this.

I read that this thing could cost $20k MORE than an R8 if it goes to production!! Priced more in line with the RS5 this makes sense, but I would take an R8 over this every single time (and I think few would disagree)....

I think you will find that best estimates suggest a production price around the £75-85k mark which is would mean either a good bit less than the R8 but worst case scenario would be only as much as the cheapest R8.

For something this exclusive and unique I think it's potentially priced very competitively.

hks786 · 10-10-2010, 02:45 PM

I think base price shouldnt be anything more than £65k. I know it has to be expensive because 1. its an Audi 2. its revival of the old legend 3. its lighter than M3/RS5 and puting out 400+bhp. However, I dont think it should be anything near the R8 in price. It should be closer to RS5.

The figure that was told to me which Audi are wishing for if they can make a finanicial case for the car is between £70-80k but that's at today's money and not in 2013-4 when the car would most likely appear. Finished spec will ultimately determine the price, if it comes with a manual transmission and really basic trim then the lower figure would be most likely, but if it came with adaptive suspension, DSG and a few luxuries then an easy £7k could be added.

One thing I am quite sure of is that the output will be over the 408ps of the concept.

hks786 · 10-10-2010, 08:39 PM

^^ true. Price depends on spec and I'm with you on the DSG. I just have a feeling it wont come 6MT

OBI_agent · 10-11-2010, 09:51 AM

Actually, I don't care if it has a 6 speed or 7 speed dsg. I'm just glad Audi can bring their concepts into life. First it was the R8 now this? And what about the etron? It's brilliant. I applaud Audi for being able to keep their promises.

Looks great.

It also looks like a car I drove 4 years ago in Burnout...
