looks like it would make one hell of an arcade game. A Porsche; an Audi will never be.

True that the only problem i foresee with this car on paper but this car is looking real good. Mid engine 420 - 500 HP, low stance, great looks, some parts taken from the lambo, german quality, and supposedly priced to tackle the 911S - 997 GT3.

Will this replace the TT, or will it be another coupe, above the TT? It looks gorgeous, It may steal some porsche sales!

In what way does that look mainstream? Nothing in the road looks like this car.

My guess is that it is a Gallardo with a 4.2L Audi motor. Prolly gonna be a pretty hot car.

I think it's going to be an amazing looking car if it ends up looking anything like the pics.

If Porsche doesn't up their HP considerably they are going to loose customers. My thinking is, when we were all young we lusted after the high HP Porsches in the magazines, it made us want one in later life when we could finally afford one. With all these new HP cars coming down the line and many considerably less money, I can't imagine the younger generation dreaming of owning Porsches right now.

Very true i really love porsche for what it stands for and also hate them for it also. I really wonder how this Audi is gonna stand up against the 911. Alotta ppl compare corvettes to the 911 or SLK's but we all know theres really no comparison but this Audi might very well be a real contender. The only thing i foresee is that this Audi is gonna be priced much higher then a regualr 911S.
