Ever wanted to play football on the hood of a car? Because this Audi RS7 looks like it's been covered in AstroTurf from Mars.
Obviously, the photos you are looking at don't depict a real car, but they still look pretty artistic, challenging the way you see a familiar car. It's not even one that's on sale, so don't blame us if you got fooled into thinking the RS7 turned into a furry creature.

From a technical standpoint, this is unlike any rendering we've ever seen. Changing the shape or color of a model is one thing, but Plastiliner wrapped one in a 3D texture. Every strand of synthetic fiber is standing in a different direction, and that must have been hell on his PC's processor.

The obvious downside to this wrap is that it completely glosses over all the fine details, the crisp lines Audi put into its performance four-door coupe. The thick carpet also partially obscures the headlights yet draws more attention to the air intakes and wheels. The green color? Well, that's probably the original paint of the model, now serving as contrast.

As strange as this might sound at first, the rendering has several connections to the real world. In 2017, somebody made a Mutt Cutts Audi RS6, obviously referencing the van from Dumb and Dumber. And although they are pretty rare, we sometimes find velvet-wrapped cars, the last one being a fake RS5.

The new RS7 Sportback is probably the prettiest four-door coupe in the world right now, and it's nice to see somebody who isn't taking it too seriously. Everything about it is super-flashy, which is to be expected when you're dealing with a 600 horsepower RS-badged machine.

We're desperate to see some drag races, although based on what we saw with the RS6 yesterday, the RS7 will lose badly to the BMW M8 Competition and the Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
