Audi R7 Concept Study: CGI Designer Creates Cool Porsche Panamera-Like Sports Sedan

[PanterroR]

We don't know if the VW Group's takeover of Porsche will eventually lead to a Panamera spin-off, but if Audi does gets the green light to develop such a model, Gabriel Rhabi's R7 design study would be a really great point to start from. The French artist has captured the essence of the brand's design DNA creating a sporty four-door sedan that is clearly recognizable as an Audi yet refreshing in a first-generation TT sort of way.

Maybe even more importantly, Rhabi avoided any concept-style gimmicks as the design is totally acceptable for a production version.

This isn't the first time we've hosted a conceptual proposal from the talented French designer who has a thing for the brand with the four rings. You'll be surprised to know that, despite the amazing quality of his work, Rhabi isn't a professional car designer but a CGI artist, video game and graphical software programmer with a passion for anything on four-wheels.

That car is the main reason why I started to see Audi with different eyes. I think is the pinnacle of Audi design, and yet it never made it into production. If you ask me, this would probably be the most beautiful coupe on road if it made it to production. It was in 2003 and yet the car doesn't seem to be dated. Why they didn't launch this as the A7?? That's one question I'm really interested in knowing the answer. Even better, why not launching it today, give it the hexagonal grille, light it up with their LEDs, to get the new Christmas tree look that Audi seems to be fond off, and bang!! there you have it.
