Today I came across a german car magazine with this car on the front cover. I'm pretty sure it hasn't been posted already.

A few versions of the Audi 4.2L V8, the most powerful is a twin turbo developing 650BHP!!Add to that <1000kg's of weight

3 secs to 100km/h and a Vmax of 360km/h.

not to sure about the design... those side view mirrors look to much like ears... i wonder how it performs

adamwich · 02-02-2005, 12:26 PM

It looks great from the side.. the front and back are too extreme!

Great performance. Bad design.

Thanks for sharing.

i wouldn't say beautiful, more like radical, fresh. i gotta admit, it looks pretty cool.

From the front I think this car looks great, but from the side and back it just looks like its an over the top concept that hasn't had a chance to be cleaned up. It really does have potential though

I really like the front design, but the rear looks like a spaceship from star wars. The side also has too many holes

Aren't these the same people who made the Bimoto Audi Quattro? Sorry if I'm mistaken!

findleybeast · 02-03-2005, 03:13 AM

^- yes they are. MTM makes some really impressive performance cars, but unless I'm mistaken they're typically limited to tuning Audis. This is the first one-off by them I've seen.

MBW124 · 02-03-2005, 03:23 AM

Very true, any word on any other Audi's they are currently tuning? I wonder if they were ever able to hit 400KM in that BiMoto.

I did some quick photochopping to see how the car would look without some of those unsightly black areas, and I think it really is a marked improvement

The overall shape and style of the car seems to be pretty good, its just the detailing and flairs that need reworking.
