I'm sure it will be a fantastic car but honestly, I think it is as ugly as sin.
Earlier pics looked better. These pictures aren't too flattering. The car doesn't look all that "exotic" or "supercar" like. If anything, it looks like an Audi TT with an over the top body kit.
Why buy this Audi when you can buy "the most powerful production diesel ever" this spring?

S4, A6, R8... you sunk my battleship...
Some facets are reminescent of Lamborghini's Gallardo (side intakes, rear vents/fascia), other facets seem Bugatti Veyron derived (c-pillars, rear fenders, flaring of front-clip). Definately same DNA/lineage of the newly designed TT.
Need outdoor shots for true perspective around people and lesser cars, hehe!
I wonder what niche` Audi is planning to target: $100k premium-sportscoupes/sportscars or $175k exotic-sportscars/ultra-premium sportscoupes (GT's)?

I like it but not too crazy about the 2 tone color scheme on the intake. The gauges could be better..it looks like the A8 gauges. The interior looks too plain to me because it doesn't match the design on the exterior. Valuation of the Audi's aren't too great used..but it is different.
I LOVE IT also. The interior looks amazing and I bet it feels just as good. I like, dont love, the exterior. Wonder if that V10 diesel fits in that car. That'd be the one to buy IMO.
To me, this would be a great alternative to a Pturbo, excepting that there are no back seats (which are becoming extrememly important for me).

I think it looks gorgeous. One of the first new "non-exotics" I've seen in a while that looks great. Sure beats an M6 in the looks dept...

I'd say it's still an exotic. It's what the next NSX needs to be.

Worth a look if you like the car!
