The Audi looks awesome. His rendering of the concept Ducati 6098 R, has a Lamborghini look to it.

im waiting for the lotus and zero, the front looks awesome on this 1, but the back "Meh", and the fake a9 is obviously a modder who had an a4 and way too much time on his hands, the cheapest a6' cabin size is noticably different from the puny cabin of an a4

[citation][nom]figgus[/nom]Nanotechnology? Why not claim it is powered by a Mr fusion unit while you are at it?I guess it's ok to make a render of a slick car, by why try to include tech that DOESN'T FREAKING EXIST YET and then pass it off as a concept?I have a concept of a Cessna powered by a warp drive. Will you post that on Tom's, even though the technology isn't even close to being invented yet?[/citation]


Hate to burst your bubble dude but look up self repairing paint and you will be amazed by what you find.. i know BMW and Caddy use this stuff already and it apprently does a pretty good job on minor surface scratchs so to say that nano tech is not real yet is not true..

lol it looks like a cocoon

seriously folks, who spends this kind of money on an Audi. It's just an overpriced VW brand.

Mercedes Benz is coming out with a new somewhat retro looking gullwing coupe. Which is a lot more interesting than something with the olympics badge on the front and also has a lot more prestige to the name. Probably costs the same as an A9 would to boot. Guess where my money would go? Not Audi. lol

The proportions and design are suberb, easily more balanced than an R8. The car industy needs more guys like this and less Chris Bangle clones.

You're badmouthing Audi but saying you'd buy a Mercedes? They've been shockingly awful since the mid 90's. Like really really bad, not just ugly but technically inferior to Audi, BMW, VW, Honda, Nissan, etc. etc.

repair itself? that is for kids.
in reality, if it works, will not be ideal as it will still leave scars or marks of damage.

thanks for the BMW link, that is nice.

Most concept cars look similar, but when they get done with the regulations look a bit different. For one thing the roof is going to be higher, or the windows larger due to poor visibility.
