The Audi Quattro Concept wowed the crowds at the 2010 Paris motor show. The favorable reaction of both the public and the press to the one-off concept that was created to celebrate the original Quattro’s 30th anniversary has sparked many rumors that Audi is seriously considering making a production version.
According to a report from Inside Line, the future of the 21st-century Quattro will be decided soon –more specifically in September, on the eve of the Frankfurt motor show premiere.
Quattro GmbH boss Stephan Reil, speaking during the launch of the Audi Q3 SUV, confirmed that the final decision has been delayed. However, he is "optimistic" about its chances, and added that the production version, if given the green light, would be a small-volume (500-1,000 units per year) supercar with lightweight materials prominent in its construction.
The Quattro’s engine could very well come from the RS5 which, with 450 hp and a 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) time of 4.6 seconds, is no slouch. But, as Reil said, “we need more power than the RS5, and it would have to be mounted longitudinally”.
The head of Quattro GmbH commented that the exotic car’s development would take at least 2-3 years, and be similar to that of Audi’s current supercar, the R8.

This car reminds me way too much of the LFA by the guys at Lexus
If this is Audi's future, as stated in the video, then I'd say Audi has a very bright future.
so sexy
Yey! Just what we all need in our lives; ANOTHER Audi coupe
"This car reminds me way too much of the LFA by the guys at Lexus" would be Toyota dudes wish too. LFA is not bad but, Toyota design can not come close to Audi.Germans don't do non sense shapes like Toyota
This concept has balls the size of an R8...my wife likes big balls.
Lexus LF-A has set such a trend that every one wants white and blacked out/dark alloy wheels. I just wish i was one of those 500 privileged.
I believe this concept debuted before the LF-A? Either way, I'd take 4 of these over 1 LF-A any day.
"Either way. I'D take four of these over 1 LF-A any day."
....and still it would be no good.
