truly a beaut, and a concept that was actually road-going, unlike the Avus. Speaking of which,
anybody notice the glaring error in the following paragraph taken from the same article, in the Avus section?
"This show car's second technological sensation was its engine. Positioned longitudinally ahead of the front suspension, the six-liter unit's three cylinder banks were in a `W' configuration: the precursor to today's A8 W12. Thanks to a powerful 374 kW (509 hp) and a weight of only 1,250 kilograms (2,755.78 lb), the Audi Avus quattro topped out at 340 km/h (211.27 mph)! A sophisticated quattro drive train conveyed the power to the road. To optimize the distribution of weight, the six-speed manual transmission was fitted between the front wheels. All wheels were attached to double triangular wishbones; the electronically controlled rear wheels enhanced the cornering dynamics."
