Can some mod graft the last few posts from this thread http://www.germancarforum.com/community/threads/audi-quattro-concept.35384/page-16 to here to avoid duplication.

I tried and I effed it up somehow...going to take some time to sort it out.

I gent get over how Audi fu**ed this up...

- the original looked so much better
- the lights are a disgrace. How do they dare to put BMW lights on an Audi?!?!?
- the weight the weight... the weight... Wait, did I say the weight??? It's 500kg to heavy. At least. The original was 1300kg and had the beautiful 5 cylinder engine. It was worthy the Quattro name. But this? Yeah, it's an RS6 Coupé. Dont dare call this the Sport Quattro!!
- the colour of the concept. Wtf?

When I come to think of it. I dont like anything about this car.

I don't like anything about this car either....

Let's put them two and two together.

Audi Quattro Concept 2010 - Audi Sport Quattro Concept 2013

Engine: 2.5 TFSI V5 - 4.0 TFSI V8
Hp: 408hp - 700hp
0-100 km/h: 3.9 seconds - 3.7 seconds
Weight: 1300kg - 1850kg
Dimensions: ? - 4.28m/1.86m/1.33m


So, the older concept is: lighter, better looking, has better proportions, has the 5 cylinder... Wow Audi.. How did you manage to screw it all up??

This is what you call "losing one's way"...

Thanks for the great photo-comparo, Tumbo...

Farewell, dear friends...

...your legacy is now in the hands of a lardy 4wd banana...

I wonder why they didn't just released the 2010 concept, now in 2013, just as it was. Why? Why? Why? It's so perfect in all aspects.

This is even more disappointing than the lack of BMW Supercar. I was an Audi hater, the Quattro Concept turned me into half an Audi fan. I was the biggest Quattro Concept fan, perfect size, perfect engine (1 cylinder more than other engines yet quite economic compared to V8), best design.

I have no idea how Audi manage to make everything worse, but really not a single thing is better, even design is worse, front, rear and side profile. Even the color, I'm not a huge fan.



Audi, you get the biggest thumb down from me.


This is how you buid a real Quattro:

One word: Bastardization.

But I will say this, I do like the interior.

 

[Mark ANTAR]

I agree. Plus, the worse thing are the BMW headlights. Words cannot explained how ashamed I am. I was complaining about the i8 having Audi shaped lights, but this is ridiculous.

It's Citroen's turn now!

The more I actually look at. It look as if it is the 2010 Concept but brought into the realistic world in terms of making the car suitable for production.

I said roughly the same thing at the start of the thread

It looks a bit boring, sort of more production ready and less concept stage to my eyes.

Considering this a near-product car, I think it is quite good that Audi retained 99%+ of the original concept. Very small/nominal changes were made. Virtually indistinguishable in overall shape, proportions, character lines, and details. Have you guys not seen what most other companies do in turning a concept car into a production car?
