Audi Quattro Concept Debut, the car Subaru refuses to build.

[BoxerFanatic]

Subaru had their chance... Audi is taking over.

Here is the Audi Quattro Concept that's currently being debuted at the Paris Motor Show. We expect to get much more closely acquainted with the machine over the next couple of days, but until then, take a gander at the machine that Audi crafted to celebrate 30 years of Quattro performance.

Keep in mind that this sucker is packing 408 horsepower from its turbocharged five-cylinder engine and routing all those ponies through a six-speed manual gearbox to all four wheels, making for a power-to-weight ratio on par with that of the Audi R8 5.2 FSI. See the rest of the details here. A fitting tribute, if we do say so ourselves.

I would have rather had a boxer-powered Subaru successor to the SVX...

But if Audi sells this, possibly as the next-generation A5, I'll have to forgo a boxer engine.

Because other than that, this car has EVERYTHING over Subaru's offerings.

Subaru COULD have built a 3-door coupe. They haven't. They aren't.

YOU SNOOZE, YOU LOSE.

Is this the first ItalDesign car since their purchase by VAG? I really like that rear 3/4, kinda has that Giugiaro '80s look.

I can has?

A HOLE IN ITS FACE
YOUR CAR HAS

I will never, ever understand that grille-over-the-bumper thing. Otherwise, it's pretty nifty.

The whole FT-86 "Toyobaru" is outrageously unlikely - show me a single underhood shot? Ain't happenin'.
