patently Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 That's quite a skilled design by Audi. Note how the large aperture at the front means that the ride quality won't be affected by the turbulence from the car it is tailgating 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewNiceMrMe Posted February 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 It isn't a joke. It is a concept from a design competition, and the winner. There is, apparently, some technical merit behind it too. If you ignore the fact it has a Fusion-drive engine, that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mook Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 I love the look of it, although I presume by the time that reaches the dealers, the entire world population will have chopped off its legs just to fit into it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garcon magnifique Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 The very thought of Audi drivers having to cope with three dimensions fills me with dread. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garcon magnifique Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 Well obviously the BMW lane would be on top so we wouldn't have to look up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tipex Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 It isn't a joke. It is a concept from a design competition, and the winner. There is, apparently, some technical merit behind it too. If you ignore the fact it has a Fusion-drive engine, that is. Sorry, but seriously? Merit? In what way? It's stupid, it looks stupid, it does nothing, and nothing will ever exist that looks remotely like it. What a load of old bollox, I can't believe people get paid to come up with this shît. I'm also insanely jealous that they do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewNiceMrMe Posted February 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 Competition. He didn't get paid until he'd won it (and even then he probably just got a tin box of extra strong mints with the Audi logo on top). Anyway, I've made one in my garage tonight. Looks mint.
