A coupe crossover. Or a 4x4 R8. Have they utterly lost the plot?

The body styling is actually really nice, oversized front vents aside, but the wheels are ridiculous. It's just a hugely dumb thing.

I'll give them a pass if they do a factory Pikes Peak effort with it, though.

reminds me of the Giugiaro Parcour from the Festival of Speed.

Slightly smaller wheels, lower it, give it normal mirrors and you're looking at the next R8.

Why, when they have apparently built an actual model, do the pictures look like they were done by me in Microsoft Paint?

Personally I think it's rather cool and great looking. And I'm no Audi fan...

Something like this is pointless - but isn't that all the more reason to like it? As it's only purpose is there because someone wants it - for fun! idea

If you want dull and boring, have no fear Audi seem perfectly capable of building some of the dullest looking cars ever created by mankind.

F**k me, that's utter crap.

Although I think it's BS I can understand the arguement of an SUV for practicality if you have a pack of slobbering mongrels to move around. WTF is the point of a jacked up supercar?

I want to flip it on it's roof to see if it says "Hotwheels - Made in Hong Kong" underneath.

Bit mean considering your profile claims this:




And surely a vehicle such as this is intended as "a bit of fun"?

Better ground clearance would likely allow you to make better progress on many of the UK's potted and bumpy roads to be fair.

Suits me. smile
Have you not seen the state of the UK's roads these days? They will only get worse.

But is that a bad thing really? Surely a wider dynamic ability that still far exceeds most cars has be a good thing. Not just a jack of all trades, but optimised for varied road use, rather than race tracks?
