Audi : http://www.cardesignnews.com/news/2000/000...10audi-concept/ (the fugly one!! )

They are all pretty cool, except the audi looks like the bastard love child between the audi TT and the bugatti super car. VW owns a ton of companies now and looks to be creating a super car in relationship to how prestigous(sp?) the brand it. The bugatti is the most expensive at $1million with over 1000HP and 255+mph top speed. My favorites are the VW, 2600 lbs, 6 liter W12 mid engine super car at $150k and Porsche carrera GT, 2400 lbs or so, V10, 560HP, awesome brakes...probably too expensive! I want one of each!!

That VW supercar has been seen, in yellow and moving, in a recent Speedvision program. I don't remember the front fascia looking as twisted as the image here.
Don't remember which show but it looked sweet on the road. The over-voice said something like $80K expected price. They certainly do have a brand reputation to overcome ("supercar for the people..."?) but I respect current VW engineering, if not their ergonomic designers.
