Audi Creates The Next Best Thing To A Baby R8? The Light Weight TT Ultra Quattro
Short of the R8, the TT is Audi’s most focused roadgoing driving machine – particularly in TT RS trim. But Audi has taken the formula a step closer to its LMPs with the TT Ultra Quattro concept. Initially revealed late last month, with the Worthersee tour kicking off in Austria, Audi has revealed more on its racing-derived super-coupe. The focus is on cutting weight, and to that end Audi has fitted carbon-fiber body panels, the R8 GT’s buckets, a magnesium underbody, helping it shed 300 kg off the stock model’s curb weight.

"Ugly?" "another concept that will never see the light of day?" That's hilarious coming from BMW fanboys. Especially given the history of the TT first seen as as a stunning concept car at the 1995 Frankfurt Motor Show as well as winner of the 2007 'World Design Car of the Year' (which no BMW has won).

I don't know what comments about the original TT and this overly-tuned version have to do with the current one? But anyway... still ugly.
I'm not sure what the purpose is with this car as everyone knows TTs are hairdressers and airline attendant's cars, why would you need this much performance in a car that is mostly purchased by that demographic?

You blurted that this Audi TT Ultra Quattro is "Ugly". It ridiculous to claim it is 'ugly' because this car is still part of the second generation TT (Mk2 series Typ 8J, 2006 to 2013), which won the World Car Design Of The Year in 2007. In addition, this second generation TT was Autobild's Most Beautiful Car, Drive's Car of the Year, Top Gear's Coupé of the Year 2006, Fifth Gear's Car of the Year 2006. Those few minor changes do not transform a beautiful car into "ugly" -- unless you're a jealous BMW fanboy :)

The Audi TT RS was a finalist for the the 2010 World Performance Car award.
No wonder the TT RS (8:09) was much faster than BMW's 1 Series M Coupe (8:15), Alpina Z4 Roadster S (8:15), and BMW M135i xDrive (8:58) on the Nurburgring race track. None of the overhyped BMW's cars in this class level are faster than the TT RS on this benchmark track. How embarrassing it must be for BMW -- beaten by a 'hairdresser's car'.

'Hairdresser's car' on the Nurburgring (see link)? What are you smoking?

Prove your ludicrous contention that TTs are mostly purchased by that demographic ("hairdressers and airline attendants") -- what are your hard statistical facts? I've caught you making up nonsense before.

Fuc%ing audis! They are ugly, boring as hell and there's too much of them! And it's like every news taged "NEW AUDI" shows the same model, that everyone see for several years. People should stop writing about these cars!

Seems you are an Audi-hater with past comments such as "Audi is a disruptive piece of shit" and "But... but... but the audi is gay!" and "All audi cars are boring".
Don't worry, for you Audi has designed a new vehicle: an Audi minivan you haven't seen before:

@satrianichild And you are the hater of everything that is not Audi, that much is very clear. How can you accuse people of bias when you are THE most biased person on this site?
Please, see someone for help, your accusations just make all of your other comments and posts less credible. A fan boy accusing others of being a fan boy, I have now seen the dark side of immaturity.
