More likely Gr1 and GrX tbh. Several VGTs had Gr1 variations created, and based on that wing, I'd say this is another

It already seems that the update was pushed back to April. The Supra and now this Audi are confirmed for then and I'm sure we'll get a teaser this month.

I don't get hate with VGT. We get to see what manufacture doing in near future. Plus most of the VGT will turn out to be real car anyway in the future.

I don't see why not, we have a Peugeot Gr.3 VGT. I guess there's the Bugatti in Gr.1 which is kinda similar?

Unless this thing has super-advanced body aerodynamics that aren't being shown in the silhouette, a Gr. version will definitely end up in Gr. 3. The Vision GTs that made it to Gr. 1 were already prototyp-ish or meant to do that type of racing in the first place.

The batting average for the project suggests otherwise, four and a half years after it was announced.
Are some production cars inspired by aspects of VGTs? Sure. But so far, none have become production models — the Fittipaldi could potentially become the first.

See above:
The Supra is perhaps the closest to satisfying the idea, since it borrows a whole lot from the concept. But, the FT-1 wasn't originally a Vision GT anyway; only the racing version was.

I also do not like VGT cars.
But I like some fictional cars based on real cars, like Beetle Gr. 3, Mustang Gr.3, etc.
IMO, if it were to launch fictitious, powerful cars, I would prefer PD to work with automakers to create fictitious LMP cars, such as:
This I would like to see.
I think these examples are much more attractive and fun for GTS users than VGT cars. I think it loses immersion and enthusiasm a Porsche 919 racing with Bugatti VGT. Does not make any sense! There is no point in a Bugatti being as fast and stable on the track as an LMP1 car.
It was preferable to bring those fictional models to the LMP1 than to bring VGT cars to run in the Gr.1 category.
The Bugatti VGT could be added in category Gr. 2.

I'm probably in the minority, but I don't really care for the VGT cars. I mean, they are okay, and they certainly look beautiful, but I wish those resources were spent on adding real cars/tracks instead. Just my two cents.

That's fine, except for the fact that the manufacturers' design teams that make the VGT cars don't work for Polyphony Digital, nor do they use up PD's time and resources as you'd think from an in-house car model.

I agree with this. I also think I may have guessed how the final releases in the pack of 50 will happen.
We have 37 cars so far. I think these 2 cars (Supra and Audi Vision GT) are part of the 50 planned before the end of March (and part of a 3 car mini DLC for which one car will be a surprise perhaps) and we only get to 47 at the end of March, with the other 3 cars including the Supra and the Audi Vision GT coming 9 days later.
I still expect a March update to be released just before Easter with about 10 cars, taking us to 47, the same as we had in December.
It occurs to me that the IsoRivolta Vision GT was one of the first 3 cars released in that mini DLC last year.
If the above was correct, there would be a perfect symmetry in the DLC since it will have gone 3, 10, 12, 12, 10, 3. With a Vision GT car having been included in the first and last mini packs as well, to boot.
Of course, I could just be talking total rubbish
Regarding the Audi itself, hard to tell from a silhouette (remember the Lotus F1 car that we all guessed
) but it looks like a more practical car than some of the Vision cars have been and designed with racing in mind.

- You couldn't have been playing GT for a while if NOW Fake cars upset you.
- You given up on GT yet you come here just to moan about fake cars. Highly Dubious.
- Literally, every Audi in the game right now is real. Here, let me show you:
Audi TT Cup 2016
Audi R8 LMS (Audi Sport Team WRT) 2015
Audi R18 TDI (Audi Sport Team Joest) 2011
Audi R18 (Audi Sport Team Joest) 2016
Audi TTS Coupe 2014
Audi Sport Quattro S1 Pikes Peak 1987
And most recently (Courtesy of update 1.13), the Audi R8 4.2 Quattro:
There's all your real Audis. Ironically as this will be the 4th VGT from a VAG Brand, it will more then likely of course be a "Real Audi" itself

This seems like it's based off the A9 concept but in race trim. Wonder if they might be proofing out an R8 replacement....? Excited to drive it anyway, fake or not.

As I said earlier, I did not talk about aesthetics, but about sense of reality, which provides immersion and enthusiasm. With this, the race becomes much more attractive.
IMO, I prefer these fictitious cars than VGT cars. VGT cars look like cars taken from films like Demolition Man, Judge Dreed, Blade Runner or Altered Carbon. I
prefer the Porsche 919 to compete with GM's fictional LMP1 than a futuristic and physically impossible VGT, such as Bugatti VGT.
Look, I know Bugatti VGT exists. But the problem is that any layman knows that NEVER that car will perform as an LMP1, for obvious reasons.
I like coherence and a sense of reality. If the car is fictitious, okay. As long as it is believable and consistent with its peers. This is point.
Anyway, my opinion.

I'd like to hear what about the Bugatti VGT doesn't make sense, so far it sounds perfectly normal to me.

Ok but the cars you listed aren’t real either
They’re about as real as the VGTs, just uglier
