A mi me parece una manera penosa de estrenarse en el foro.

no entiendo el porque, es verdad que hay un post de presentacion abierto, pero tampoco es que sea obligatorio presentarse alli, por lo tanto cada uno se presenta o escribe su primer post donde puede/quiere o donde se pueda sentir mas comodo para empezar a escribir luego mas frecuentemente. Y me parece un poco hostil un comentario asi para alguien que hace su primer mensaje, la verdad me extraña un poco.

Si el A2 va a ser un A1 5p no le veo sentido a llamar al concept que adelanta A1 sportback concept. De todas formas si el A2 va a ser el A1 5p el chop de autobild va muy mal encaminado porque ahi lo que hay es un monovolumen. Yo creo que al final habra A1 3p, A1 5p y A2 que sera el monovolumen del A1 (si lo que es la meriva del corsa por ej). Audi lo que dijo es que el A2 era muy caro por utilizar el chasis ASF y que no tendria reemplazante por eso, pero el A1 compartira plataforma con el nuevo polo y con el actual ibiza, asique es posible que haya un A2 monovolumen, evidentemente sin el chasis ASF, es tan posible como un Polo MPV o un Ibiza MPV

Audi’s baby R8 ready to roll
German firm is readying a little brother to its world-beating supercar.

Sports car fans are in for a real treat! Audi is planning a striking new mid-engined machine – the R4. The newcomer will be based on an entirely new platform and sit above the TT in Audi’s range, offering buyers a driver-focused two-seater with a starting price of around £35,000.

It’s the result of a rumoured joint venture with Porsche – so the project will produce a new platform to underpin Coupé and Roadster versions of the R4, and also provide the basis for the next Boxster and Cayman. It’s these core sellers in the Porsche line-up that the R4 will target.

Our exclusive picture shows that the new Audi takes much of its visual inspiration from the R8 supercar, with LED lights, deep air intakes and a sweeping profile. But this similarity is no coincidence. The Porsche joint venture is all part of Audi’s plan to launch a range of R-badged sports cars, which will follow in the wake of the range-topper.

These will include an R6 to rival Jaguar’s new E-Type replacement and the Porsche 911, plus an R10 model based on the V12 TDI R8 diesel concept. Of course, it’s not only Audi which will benefit. Porsche will be able to share Audi’s engines and reduce the costs associated with developing a new platform.

The upmarket sports car firm is keen to ensure it maintains its healthy profitability – a factor that has enabled it to take a majority share in Volkswagen – particularly in the current financial climate. While the two firms will work together to produce the new platform, the R4 and the next-generation Boxster/Cayman will be very different models. Keen to retain the DNA that’s made the TT and R8 so successful, bosses will give the Audi a body made from aluminium panels. It also gets quattro four-wheel drive with torque split 40:60 in favour of the rear wheels.

In addition, the newcomer benefits from adaptive magnetic dampers and Audi’s Drive Select system. The latter allows the driver to switch between several modes which tweak steering and throttle response. Power will come from the firm’s range of TFSI engines, with the entry-level model most likely to get a highly tuned 2.0-litre turbo. The new 335bhp 2.5-litre five-cylinder super and turbocharged unit lined up for the flagship TT RS will be available, too. There’s even the possibility that the R4 will be offered with a high-performance diesel and a petrol V6.

As for gearboxes, a six-speed manual transmission will be standard, with a seven-ratio S tronic twin-clutch semi-auto as an option. The R4 is some way off reaching showrooms, though. There are still plenty of loose ends to tie up with the mooted joint venture, and it remains to be seen which company will launch the new platform first. Considering Porsche’s increasing control of the VW Group, it may be that it gets to call the shots. If that’s the case, the R4 could arrive in around 2011, shortly after the Boxster and Cayman.

R10 is go, too

* Diesel R8 was revealed earlier this year. It will be badged R10 and fitted with a V12 TDI unit offering around 500bhp.

* Returning 25mpg and meeting Euro VI emissions regulations, the 190mph R10 will be an amazing all-rounder.

* Styling cues such as the huge air intakes at the rear and the glass roof could be carried over to its R4 baby brother.

yo creo que es un chop, mas que nada porque el faro delantero lo veo muy dibujado sin brillos. Ahora de ser asi seria la luna trasera mas pequeña del mundo

es un tema muy complicado, porque el trabajo de mucha gente depende de esta produccion, pero desde el punto de vista de la empresa es logico y supongo que el resto de empresas haran lo mismo, si vendes un 40% menos, tendras que producir menos tambien.

lo del Ibiza es cosa del diseño del coche, a mi en particular me parece que queda fatal y que es posible que alguien lo confunda con un mal ajuste, pero no lo es.

en Autobild estan empeñados con que los Ford y los Peugeot tengan el mismo frontal??? porque en varios chops que hacen ponen lineas muy similares y este tiene un aire a los ultimos concepts de peugeot

creo que se refiere al boxer diesel, que es un motor y un concepto completamente nueevo y reciente……….yo de poder esperar tambien me veria primero el Insignia que tiene muy buena pinta
