So after college I went on a trip across Europe visiting car manufacturers and found a picture of my buddy Tim staring at a hot car and I just put 2 and 2 together… what do you think it looks like? It is on a rotating car elevator with other concept cars at the Audi plant’s museum. ![http://i257.photobucket.com/albums/hh214/TORQDSS/EUROPE1374.jpg](http://i257.photobucket.com/albums/hh214/TORQDSS/EUROPE1374.jpg) Here is another plant I visited you might recognize. That is the first Enzo ever made by the way… serial number ended in 001 if i remember correctly. ![http://i257.photobucket.com/albums/hh214/TORQDSS/EUROPE1219.jpg](http://i257.photobucket.com/albums/hh214/TORQDSS/EUROPE1219.jpg) ![http://i257.photobucket.com/albums/hh214/TORQDSS/EUROPE1209.jpg](http://i257.photobucket.com/albums/hh214/TORQDSS/EUROPE1209.jpg) Michael Schumacher’s Formula 1 car. ![http://i257.photobucket.com/albums/hh214/TORQDSS/EUROPE1223.jpg](http://i257.photobucket.com/albums/hh214/TORQDSS/EUROPE1223.jpg) ![http://i257.photobucket.com/albums/hh214/TORQDSS/EUROPE1224.jpg](http://i257.photobucket.com/albums/hh214/TORQDSS/EUROPE1224.jpg) ---

More likely a TT concept car IMO. Very old design ---

mid-engine Quattro 2 door car, seems pretty close. ---

> [@TORQDSS](#): > > mid-engine Quattro 2 door car, seems pretty close. Sure, doesn’t mean it is what came out. Often times the concept cars are far cooler than the production cars. It seems rather unlikely they were developing the R8 for that long. That car looks like its from the early 90s. ---

i think it was a few years old at that point so you might be right. ---

I’m just speculating, I’m sure some oldschool Audi people might recognize it. ---

The sensation at the 1991 IAA in Frankfurt was a sports car study. A flat sports coupé with V6 mid-engine and a spectacular aluminium body. When rumours emerged that the Audi quattro Spyder was going to be built, Audi dealers received hundreds of enquiries. But in the end, only two prototypes were constructed. > **[1991 Audi Spyder Concept | Review | SuperCars.net](https://www.supercars.net/blog/1991-audi-spyder-concept/)** > > 1991 Audi Spyder Concept The sensation at the 1991 IAA in Frankfurt was a sports car study.

That car does look very 90s. Do you have more pics of the wagon next to it? I love V8s. ---
