Default Possible Production Concept?

I think I could give this car a home, if they put a "Gas" engine in it.

The side view is quite nice but the front eerily reminds me of a toaster, er Cylon. Just needs the red light scrolling back and forth.

I agree 100%, I really don't like any Audi front ends, but I do think their head lights are pretty cool.
But then it's all been done before.

You don't have to step outside Audi's own history to understand where their current front end design philosophy originates. It is a direct homage to the great pre WWII Auto Union Grand Prix cars that, along with the great Mercedes Benz GP machines, became collectively known as the Silver Arrows and terrorized the rest of the GP world. The Auto Unions were powered by engines as large as 16 cylinders with as much as 550HP, dwarfing what the English, French and Italians were fielding at the time.

In fact, it was Auto Union that carried the original 4 ring badge, indicating the union of Audi, Wanderer, DKW and Horsch to form Auto Union. After the war the brand was splintered, with some factories ending up in Soviet occupied East Germany and others in West Germany. Many years later, and through various acquisitions and changes, Audi is what survives. But the heritage remains and the current Audi grille is a reflection of those great cars of the past.

The wheels are just stunning. All those spokes to clean but so purdy to look at.
