Audi set to unveil concept sports car to rival Porsche 911


By LUCA CIFERRI | Automotive News Europe

BOLOGNA, Italy - Audi will unveil a concept sports car intended to compete against the Porsche 911 at the Frankfurt auto show in September.

Audi Chairman Martin Winterkorn confirmed that the car will use an aluminum space frame derived from the one that Audi is building in Neckarsum, Germany, for the new Lamborghini Gallardo.

But the Audi won't use the Gallardo's new 5.0-liter V-10 engine. Within the Volkswagen group, "we have many choices of engines, from eight to 12 cylinders,'' Winterkorn said here at ceremonies marking the 40th anniversary of Lamborghini, which is owned by Audi AG.

The high-performance Audi coupe has been one of two priorities for Winterkorn since he was promoted in April 2002 to head the sporty-brand division of VW's Seat, Audi and Lamborghini brands.

"My priorities for the Audi brand are to enhance its sporty image with a crossover car and a sports car that is above our current TT but below the forthcoming small Lamborghini," Winterkorn said at the Geneva show in March.

is the show is in September when will the first images be out, i know they shouldn't be around until the show but often a few escape into the public.
I doubt that i will like it, i've never been a fan of mass-produced sports cars, e.g Porshe 911, Mazda MX-5.

Audi's recent styling should be a felony.

It probably won't fit the GT class rules anyhow.
