Audi To Debut Production Version Of 650HP Quattro Concept At Frankfurt

To commemorate the 30th anniversary of the original Quattro, Audi is reportedly planning to unveil a production version of the 2010 Quattro Concept.

If anyone recalls, nearly two years ago at the 2010 Paris Motor Show Audi debuted something really awesome but wasn’t committed to building: the Quattro Concept. Intended to be a tribute to the original and legendary 1984 Sport Quattro, the Quattro Concept looked fantastic and was powered by a 2.5-liter five-cylinder that produced around 380 horsepower and 354 lb-ft of torque. Power was sent to all four wheels (of course) via a dual-clutch gearbox. We all wanted to see it as a production car but Audi remained noncommittal.

Meh. I used to really like the 2012 A5. To my eyes, it was one of the most beautiful cars made. Audi's external styling team is not on a streak of home-runs.

The Best designed Audi since the S1 Sport (and A5). Why Audi does not make it is beyond me.

Those pics are poor. Below are better pics of Ur Quattro concept from 2010. Though Audi says this baby gets to 60 mph in 3.2 seconds -- it will likely be 2.9 to 3.0 seconds, given the horsepower, torque, low weight and Audi's tendency to understate performance.
