Meet Audi’s 700bhp Quattro Concept a.k.a Hybrid Monster

Audi’s 700bhp Quattro a.k.a Hybrid monster
 It's no coincidence that this combative, pugnacious looking tyke has been badged the Audi Sport Quattro Concept. It's a deliberate homage to the classic Sport Quattro from 1983 - the short-wheelbase one, that is - and thus carries with it the weight of a million enthusiastic bobble hats.

Though it isn't light. Audi tells us there are aluminium structural elements, and carbon fibre reinforced polymer is used for the roof, bonnet and rear bootlid, but the Quattro Concept still weighs in at 1,850kg. The standard RS5 Coupe is 1715kg by comparison. Speaking of which, this concept is roughly the same size, though a bit wider than that car and a touch shorter.

 Like it? Want the Audi Sport Quattro name to return on the flanks of this V8 in production form? Tell us below. We'll pass on the most enlightened comments to Audi. Wonder what Rörhl would make of this concept...

I LOVE BEAUTIFUL CARS
