Default Audi to make the Le Mans Quatro





The concept car is based on the Lambo Gallardo, has a tt V10. MT said the production car for 2008 (I guess due out early 2007) will come with a NA V8 to be followed by tt V8 and tt V6.

Hopefully the price can be kept in the realm of affordable such as 911, 911 S and 911 tt.

Hopefully the price will position it below the G and the 430M.


Transmission is 7-speed DSG auto.



PS I'd get it just for those head lamps. If they don't put those head lamps on they should be shot.

If you care, here's a link I found:-->>CLICK

I think that TT looking car is the A6 based coupe (?)

Weight is supposed to be in the 3300 lb range.

Kind of looks like a mid-engine 911

I like the A6-based coupe! Very nice for a daily driver.

I was kind of against so-called "awd sports cars" like the 911 C4S. However with my S2000 I don't like to drive it in the rain, and don't drive it in the snow. So I can see the value of a car like the C4S or this LeMans Quatro. Not that it's meant to drive in the snow, but with the right tires I bet it would do a good job in bad weather.

Also I like what I call "near exotics" cars that are above the likes of a Corvette or M3 but below the Ford GT etc..

Cars like this, 911, AMV8, NSX etc...
