Audi with a stunning design and there is me thinking the R8 was a one off.
Sadly all the sharp frontal edges will be muted into a TT lookalike if it ever gets into production not that there is anything wrong with a TT.

All the pics in that piece are of the PB18 concept, yet it talks of the GT, so as usual, some disjoint.
The PB18 makes the original Ford GT40 look like a London Taxi, so probably best to avoid if you're average height or more !
Still, whatever it ends up being, it would be hard to make it uglier than the mission-e/taycan, so bonus!

It's a concept car, so by definition it should make anything remotely current look old school. The production version (if there ever is one) will be far more conservative - like their new e-tron SUV for example, which you would be hard pressed to tell the difference from a Q7.
I did actually include that coda in my original post but, hey! And I think that the R8 is much more an example of what Audi are about in this particular genre.Peteski wrote: ↑Fri Sep 21, 2018 11:07 amIt's a concept car, so by definition it should make anything remotely current look old school.

We will have just the same with the Tincan, a stunning concept in the Mission e which is watered down by the time it gets into production to be a 911 lookalike.
Such is the conservative nature of Porsche and the design stiffling that is the compliance regulations.
If we think about the autonomous safety features being developed and fitted into vehicles (radar, infra red scanning, auto braking, avoidance systems etc) then in the future there should be no crashes, the auto detection and avoidance systems should see to that, then as there will be no crashes the very concept cars we see today should then have a better chance of making production.

What I am trying say, Col, maybe not clearly, is that the Audi concept is very likely to begat something interesting. Albeit the R8 is now an old design it firmly demonstrates where they are inclined to go with that type of car. It’s due in 2022 so a bit of a wait yet.Col Lamb wrote: ↑Sat Sep 22, 2018 11:17 amVery true Mike, a concept is just that.Dandock wrote: ↑Sat Sep 22, 2018 10:20 amI did actually include that coda in my original post but, hey!

As for the Taycan; let’s wait and see what is revealed once all the development disguise is removed. We’ll find out next year.

You did, but you did also compare it directly with a Tesla that will actually be released in production form. We all know that this Audi will never make it into production. But it is still exciting that EV Supercars will be coming in the next 5 years.Dandock wrote: ↑Sat Sep 22, 2018 10:20 amI did actually include that coda in my original post but, hey!
