Audi’s enthusiast appeal took a steep dive when they announced they weren’t going to make a production version of the 2010 Quattro Concept, deeming it a drain on their finances at the time. That car was short, stubby and very square, with an iconic five-cylinder engine and the promise of a properly entertaining driver’s car.
The new Sport Quattro Concept, the one that made its debut at the Frankfurt motor show this week, may look the like the one we saw three years ago, but it actually has a significantly longer wheelbase, and would probably make for much more of a practical model for Audi than the focused original ever could.
Actually, they could much more easily build it on an A5 platform, and just give it fancier bodywork, then justify the not-so-sharp as expected handling by saying it’s not that type of car.
Thankfully, we don’t have to wait for Audi to put this car into production to see what it could look like because people that are much better than me at photo editing make it seem as if they have.
X-Tomi Design’s renderings seem fairly close to what the concept would be subjected to before it went into mass production, and for that reason, you can find them posted in the gallery below.
