It's a squeezed Audi , mostly like a TT, with some elements of a Gallardo
but since I saw it yesterday at the Zürichcarshow (photoshooting will follow), I find the car very nice,

COOL

subzero. It looks much better in person, and that engine note is fabolous

Cool!!

It looks pretty cool and aggressive ( but not as cool as the concept ). The engine is in the right place ( and what an engine ) wich makes it cooler than a normal Carrera S. And sounds better than a Posche too. 8)

I think it looks quite good. It's not stunning, but it's still a solid cool. I haven't seen one in the metal, so I really can't go on much more than pictures.

Gosh, this one was really hard. Like most said, it is definitely not a pretty car to look at especially the front end. Something about those headlights are too. . . hmm, squinting at you or something. All the other Audi cars (with the exception of the Q7) looks great!

Also, there is no denying the Le Man's R8s capabilities and for this car to be "derived" from that one means something to me. But why didn't they just put out the V10 in this one? It almost seem like the V8 was marketing purpose because they wanted to save room and space to market the V10 and charge more. They should've just made this car a V10 and charge accordingly for it.

Yeah, for those reasons, doesn't look great and lacking performance, I had to go with "Uncool".

I guess we will just have to wait for the RS8 w/ the V10 to see if this car would be "Cool". . .
