Default Audi KTM Roadster

Interesting idea, a little bit weird looking, but not too bad. 1600 lbs and 50mpg! Looks like they took a Sky and shrinkwrapped it after putting it on a fluid diet for a week.

Audi typically makes a fairly heavy car so I'm a bit dubious about that projected weight but it should be fun to drive even if they "only" make it 2000 lbs (Elise weight)...

Comments?

That'd be a fun ride even if it netted 2,000 lbs! The rear tire looks cartoonishly large in diameter compared to the front tire.

That's a really aggressive face. Not sure if it really meets their design objectives, but I'd take one.

I keep seeing that comment (but not necessarily in my threads ) - is it from a book or movie or something?

I'm guessing it means "...and some day pigs will fly" or something along those lines.

Wow, extremely aggressive front end. I hope it makes it to production.
