This disguised Audi sports car, snapped last weekend at an Alpine ski resort, had been rumoured to be the new 'R4' - Audi's planned sub- R8 sports car - but a new report from German magazine
seems to suggest otherwise.
The latest suggestion is that it is a concept study set for a Paris show debut to celebrate the original Audi Quattro - which turned 30 earlier this year.
The concept will be called 'Anniversario' (see what Audi's done there?) and is, we read, based on a cut-down RS5 chassis.
It won't get that car's 444bhp 4.2-litre V8, however - a turbo five-pot is, much more appropriately for a Quattro, rumoured to be the power unit of choice, and the 335bhp motor from the TT RS is the current favoured candidate.
No doubt the full story will be revealed in Paris at the end of September...
