“We have brought together racing experience from the first generation and automotive experience from the entire company,” says Quattro managing director Heinz Hollerweger, as translated in a subtitled version of the video posted by Worldcarfans. “I think that’s what’s unique about this new car.”
Speaking from behind the wheel, Stippler notes that the range-topping V10′s 610 hp and 413 lb-ft of torque provides “certainly enough power” for any situation.
“No engine is better suited to this car than the 10 cylinder naturally aspirated engine,” adds Hollerweger. “Sporty, emotion-packed and superior in every situation.”
The camouflage will be pulled off Audi’s new flagship sports car at the Geneva Motor Show.
