It's easy to dismiss the Audi Sport quattro concept as just another concept car, but I think this German beast ticks all the right boxes if you're an Audi lover and should be put into production right away.
Unlike the previous quattro concept, which was based on compact car architecture, this one uses the bigger A6 platform, making it a substantial coupe. Audi currently doesn't have a full-size coupe to rival the M6, and this could very well be it.

Speaking of German rivalries, the Sport quattro has a major headline grabber: 700 horsepower at its disposal. That's as much as a Lamborghini Aventador. To get there, this 21st century quattro uses a 4.0 twin-turbo TFSI tuned to produce 600 horsepower. The rest comes from electricity and all you need to know is this car gets to 100 km/h in 3.7 seconds and yet only requires just 2.5 liters of fuel every 100 kilometers.

From a design point of view, this concept is something else. We can't put our finger on it, but it's not beautiful, it's Audiful.

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.
