Why exactly? One is in NO shape for F1 (For reasons listed above) and the other has no intention of seriously competing in anything Motorsport related.

It’s just how I would market my cars if I was really big group like VAG. I’m not sure Audi is the brand I’d be taking this type of punt with. But with Audi potentially on the ropes maybe I’m wrong…

Personally I’d have it something like:

Premium for F1 - Lamborghini/Bugatti
Sporty Road cars for Sports cars - Audi
Smart/Safe cars for rally - VW/Skoda
Cheap cars for touring cars - Seat

To be fair they can be moved around a bit too. I just think they’ve got a lot to loose with this venture. But maybe it’s just my attachment to Audi.

I’ve already lost Saab 😔

One more for the list of "not revolutionary, but still pretty good"

I feel like the cars themselves honestly just look lovely. I really like how they all look so far.

Could do without the silver nose and the four weird silver accents on the side, but okay, I guess.

The nose reminds me a bit of the early 2000's Mclaren-Mercedes cars, but their nose was closer to white than this dark silver. I like it

I actually quite like the silver accents on the side, looks sleek.

Agreed. It looks pretty similar to the old car besides the weird silver accents. Can‘t say I‘m a fan of them, they remind me of this:

True. In any case they disrupt the design‘s „flow“ imo.
