Concept Audi Concept C

I still haven't gotten used to this "Face", but the rest is absolutely superb.

Looks superb indeed.

But like the new Mercedes grille, I wonder how it would look with a regular sized EU license plate, and not that tiny U.S spec version which neatly fits the grille as seen on this Audi.
On the Audi the plate would stick out on both sides of the grille which would look really bad. And on the MB it would be slab in the middle which also looks very bad in my head.

Maybe they would have to do an Alfa number plate on one side of the bumper, which also looks odd.

Yeah, a bit of a shout out to the 1950s/early 1960s Giulietta coupes and spiders and the Giulia Duetto spiders of the 1960s/70s. Alfa-Romeo did that with the 156 as well.

But on other brands...nah.

It must have been like that for near 30 years, but I have yet to get used to it....

The side mounted plates are going away anyway.

But some great eye-candy nonetheless.

I know the guy is fat and all, but it looks just incredibly cramped inside. I would want to be able to stretch my arms when holding the steering wheel which looks impossible in this car.

Yeah, it's definitely not the most suitable vehicle for the morbidly obese. The Concept C does, however, appear to be a bit more spacious than the various series TT cars. And having once owned a TT, I can confirm that it is not cramped for those who are of average-to-slighter build.

I also suspect that the tester, Thomas Geiger, has a medical issue that has lead to significant weight gain. Hypothyroidism perhaps ? I clearly recall the time in which he was much, much trimmer.

Interestingly, the way the front end is built is similar to

A bit long, but an entertaining, informative video:

I also enjoyed the references to the "Ur-TT". Especially the roadster. I owned one for some 12 years and 200K kms. Indeed-"Janus-faced".
