Why it matters

Audi showed this coupe at the 2010 Paris Motor Show to mark thirty years of the quattro name. It combined a five-cylinder turbo engine with a lightweight body and quattro all-wheel drive. Audi engineers then studied building it in small numbers, which made it more than a one-off show car.

02Production & history

Production

Every figure says what it counts.

No production figures recorded yet.

History

The quattro name debuted at the 1980 Geneva Motor Show. Audi used the 2010 Paris Motor Show to show a modern interpretation of that car, a thoroughbred driving machine with 300 kW (408 hp).

In October 2010 Autocar reported that Audi's development chief confirmed plans for a limited production run, to be assembled at ItalDesign near Milan. The plans were described as not yet approved.
