Audi Quattro Concept

As part of a design competition held amongst Audi designers to create a model that celebrates 3o years since the introduction of the original Quattro, the winning concept shown at the 2010 Paris Motor Show is in my opinion, rather exciting. Based on a shortened and lightened Audi A5 platform, the Quattro Concept displays very purposeful looks highly reminiscent of the homologated SWB versions.

Located up front, under the bonnet the Quattro Concept uses a modified version of the 2.5-litre, five cylinder turbocharged engine normally found in the TT RS- an award winning powerplant with huge reserves of torque.

If the 4WD Quattro Concept ever made it into production my guess would be that it would be priced somewhere around the entry level Porsche 911 mark, ,the R8 maintaining flagshiop status.

Mayfair 911

A recent walk around Mayfair proved that even completing a fashion based errand for my girlfreind can present Mr Motor Tweeter with a blog opportunity. The streets are truly lined with gold - Bentleys, Ferraris and rather nice old 911s..

TechArt GT Street RS

TechArt are no strangers to producing biblically fast 911s and here we have another of the German uber-tuners' offerings. The GT Street RS started life as a Porsche GT2- no slouch already let's be honest, but with an extra 160hp over the standard car the Street RS has the brawn to back up those slightly scary looks.

The lap record around the Sachsenring track was previuosly held by an angry looking Lamborghini Murcielago LP-640 SV, posting a time of 1.36.29. TechArt's Street RS has recently smashed that time by nearly five seconds clocking a 1.31.94 for the 3671 metre circuit.

Just to show off, those sausage loving TechArt guys then posted a 3.5 second 0-100kmh time in the Street RS. Apparently all this showing off proves their in-built ethos of "High Speed, Pace and Uniqueness". How very German.
