At first glance, I thought it was the new R8, but it looked kinda strange so I went inside and realised it was a concept car. It has some R8 in it I think, but this beast is a whole different level. It's very wide and very low to the ground IRL. All aluminium, the 6.0 W12, and 0-100 km/h is supposed to be 3.0 seconds.

By the way: I asked, and the R8 will arrive within a week or two. I'll take a lot of awesome pics when it arrives, be sure of that!

I was fascinated by this concept, one of the best that audi has ever made.

No, you're right; it is old. They hadn't even thought of the single frame grille when the made that car.

They always have another, special Audi car in a corner there. Last time I was there, they had a Horch Pullmann.

I just felt like sharing

That's a concept from 1991...

First introduced at the 1991 Frankfurt Show, the all-wheel-drive Audi Avus had projected performance figures that seem amazing even today. The car featured a 6 liter W-12 engine (with 3 banks of 4 cylinders) and 5 valves per cylinder. Output was 509 bhp @ 5800 rpm, and 398 lb-ft @ 4000 rpm. The body was finished in unpainted aluminum. Estimated top speed was 211 mph, with 0-60 appearing in an incredible 2.9 seconds.
