I understand that they kept it a secret, it looks like some super ghey 911 wannabe.

Pretty cool story, but god damn that car is fucking hideous! :lol:

As far as influences.... the nose, i see the Lancia Martini car... and some other similar shapes that were created under the Group C WSC, and IMSA rules. Group B regulated that no ground effects could exist... but this car is most definitely has ground effect in mind in it's design.... it likely would not have raced in this form. I don't think the Alpine had much influence, nor the 911. |
I also think that the car is really ugly, but thanks for posting the article, I'd never knew of this car if it weren't for this article.

Interesting, it looks a bit like a Porsche 935.
I also never knew the existence of the mid-engined sport quattro as mentioned in the text and shown with the two little picture at the second scan. |
Thanks a lot Skaala for this great and rare scan. :good:
I never tought it was the final design of the Audi E2. Because I prefer the look of the mid-engine Sport quattro S2 prototype with ~800hp. :twisted: http://img73.imageshack.us/img73/707...0951uv1.th.png http://img73.imageshack.us/img73/399...3235yx3.th.png http://img73.imageshack.us/img73/965...9701xg2.th.png http://img73.imageshack.us/img73/976/14015872ay8.th.png |
Urghh, no wonder they kept it away from the public :? Luckily Audi now knows how to design a good looking car!

I knew I'd seen that concept car before somewhere but I've never seen an article on it. Look in the background of this photo.

Great articel, thanx a lot! Too bad this monster never hit the roads.

The mid-engined Quattro concept kept my mind busy and finally remembered me to something I have read a couple of years ago about a mid-engined Audi "002 Quattro" project.
After a bit of searching on the net it turns out that the group S prototype of this article is called the Audi Sport Quattro RS 002. The actual name makes the searching much easier and I have found this site which has a lot of pics of the car: :arrow: http://www.audipassion.com/univers_a...pe_s/index.php The google translation makes the site much easier to read for the non French speaking among us: :arrow: http://translate.google.com/translat...3Doff%26sa%3DG |
Thank god they stuck to the Sport quattro. Though the prototype mid-engined S1 does looks okay.
