Audi R1

I read in MotorTrend that the Audi R1 is 100% ready for production… Has anyone been able to find any info on it? I know it is based on the new VW BlueSport and will likely be using the 2.0T or the 1.4 TwinCharged engine and the 7-Speed DSG . I’m just interested in seeing the styling.

This is the VW Blue Sport…

all i think when i see that car, is Saturn Sky or Ponticrap Solstice…and no, i havent he$ard anything about it, would like to though :slight_smile:

MotorTrend said that VW/Audi are targeting this car at the Miata crowd.

i’d think it’d be more of the lotus crowd

Just when you thought VW already had enough homo drivers they go after this crowd…

That car is awful looking…

it looks mid engined so it would fill the small void left by the MR2s and fit under the boxster. before i pass judgment i would want to see hp/weight and pricing info

From the front i think it looks great.

+1 I like it. I wouldn’t ever want one, but I like it.

the headlights look to be the same as the tail lights, cept the tail lights are red

A sky, TT, and a Cabriolet had a threesome and this popped out.

i’d rather have a sky

needs a diesel… :slight_smile:

I actually like it and I usually don’t like many VW’s.

meh…

sky’s gay I love the style of this car.

those are some bad photoshops… nothing that is this ready for “production” doesn’t have real photos floating around, even if covered up.

Here is a pic from NAIAS

I think it looks pretty decent from that last pic.

miata and a tt convertible made a baby?

fixed and that pretty well sums it up lol

i think that if you can get it in a turbo version then it will be worth it.

if not that then…

:ohyeah:
