I think it looks cool in the same way the Nissan does.

At a first glance its horrid but when you start to think how the air flows over the car it turns in to a sexy beast!

That doesn't change the fact it looks like it's been smashed into a tree...I know blunt fenders add downforce, but this is taking it to a whole new level.

The Nissan never looked bad, it was just bland on the front. The "new" modifications they made like the big brake ducts and massive canards made it look beast. There is no hope for this Audi unless it gets a slant Riley & Scott or Lola DBR1-2 nose for Le Mans. Obviously it's gonna be a love/hate kinda design.

@Furinkazen Where did you hear about three Toyota's? I've always heard they won't due to budget constraints.

Conflicting, article says two only, yet the FB link... unless I mis-interpret meaning of "forge"

Another angle of the fulgy mobile.

EDIT: It's an F1 car on LSD.

Porsche will hopefully provide its ugly brother a mercy killing.

Porsche: "I'm sorry brother, I dont want to... But father insists!"
Audi, breathing labored: "It's... okay brother... end my suffering... do what you must."

Head on it's not SO terrifyingly bad, but with any angle...ew.

 

[SK8RBOI]

Just for reference Both 2015 cars.

I like it.

It's not pretty, but I hope the efficiency gains and the new 6MJ hybrid unit can get Audi closer to Porsche.

^This is exactly what it is. Who knew, Persians are aerodynamic!

Renders are usually pretty bad. I hope it'll look better in actual photos.

Am I missing a joke here?

 

[Snaeper]

Am I missing a joke here?

If I said 'yes', but offered no explanation, would that help?

 

[Bo]

I like it.

Is it because it's clearly been driven into a pit wall?

 

[fortbo]

The new Audi R18.

It'll still have a diesel engine and 6mJ of battery power. They'll use 2 cars at Le Mans, same as Porsche. #DieselGate

I love it!!!!!

 

[R5]

No.

 

[Panoz]

Looking at it head-on, I believe the DeltaWing might be it's father.

 

[SK8RBOI]

WHAT THE ****! ahaha. they cant be....

Edit: I cant believe the photos are actually official. There awful.

 

[DK]

That has to be the ugliest thing I've ever seen in my entire life.....................................................

Ah come on, it's not the R15+.

 

[fortbo]

Mark my words, this will dominate Porsche in 2016.

 

[Furinkazen]

Could be worse, could have had you trying to pass someone in it


Angular, purposeful, looks pretty mean. Death Star Audi's are awesome.

 

[SK8RBOI]

it looks to me like a new chassis. They put allot of money in to this.

Edit: Chassis. I can spell chassis. ahaha

 

[R5]

monocock

Ummm...

 

[LancerEvo7]

Kill it with fire.

 

[fortbo]

Kill it with fire.

Abit overkill.
