Audi, like Porsche imo, have spent 40-50 years trying to perfect an engine layout which is fundamentally wrong.

I'm not keen on this at all. Since VW (or was it audi) bought Lamborghini they have lost all the 'flare' that made them so different than the other hypercars,

Agreed.. I used to swear Lambos in the late 80's wee designed by ten year old boys buzzing off their face on an excessive amount of cola and aspartame ... Now they look like the boys father who works in banking has designed them... Efficient, Practical and Comfortable.
In the 80's nobody gave a damn if Lambo's broke down as the owner would enjoy looking at it while waiting for the AA.

The Lamborghini Muira is IMO the most beautiful car of all time, plus it can do the 'bull' thing with the doors open, how cool is that?

How to ruin a Lamborghini engine :whistle:

Seriously though, I don't have anything against Audi's per say, I just find them boring, but I find that with all the German marques TBH.

I had a BMW 3 Series Coupe a few years ago. It was Topaz Blue with 18' M Sport alloys, and to stand and look at it looked good, but when I was driving it the sombre interior made me want to swing.

I just wish manufacturers would diffrentiate their cars rather than make a range that all look the same. I appreciate the need for corporate indentity but surely that's what your badge denotes, whether it's 4 wings, a propeller, a lion or a prancing horse?
 
You can keep it. i'd rather have a

Pfffttt philistines. And as for the comment about the R8 looking like a TT, it's not even close! (although the TT was gorgeous in it's day)

As long as they can sort out a company that truly believes that this bug eyed monstrosity

Agreed, it's awesome.

But for some reason I've always had a thing for the countach, even if it is boxier than a wardrobe from ikea.
me too. At least up until they brought out the anniversary model - that has more add on kit than actual body.
The Ferrari 512i BB was not so dramatic but really beautiful
