Audi Rosemeyer Concept: Displayed at the Audi Forum Tokyo

One of the greatest concept cars ever, the Audi Rosemeyer is currently being displayed at the Audi Forum Tokyo. So, if you are in Tokyo, this is a must see! And by the way, it has 1000 bhp, long time before anybody was thinking about the Bugatti Veyron.
For all others, we took the chance and paid a visit (actually we went several times, because it's such a great car). Here are our pictures, enjoy!

Indeed the Rosemeyer concept and TT share design cues.

But, the Rosemeyer and AU cars were mid-engined longitudinal RWD cars.

Audi exhibits a design study for a super sports car

Information

The vehicle was designed to evoke emotion and garner attention, and was unique in that it combined elements of modern design with styling strongly resembling the former Auto Union's Grand Prix racers, namely their 16-cylinder car driven by Bernard Rosemeyer, for whom the car is named.
Powered by a large capacity, mid-mounted 16-cylinder engine making 700 horsepower and featuring Audi's quattro four-wheel drive system, the vehicle promised high performance to match it's appearance. It was ultimately deemed unfit for production, both because of extremely high projected production costs and Audi's unwillingness to create in-house competition for models from Lamborghini, which Audi had purchased during the 1990s. In some ways, Audi's Galardo-based R8 could be considered the Rosemeyer's successor.
