Return of the Audi A2 ?
I just wonder if it can match the Cd of the previous model ( .25 )
Where is the roofline arch that the previous car had ?

The side view mirrors are more forward, closer to the base of the 'A' pillar; on the new version. Also less pronounced fender flare around the wheel openings.
Some additional pictures:

That was a tad too fast, requiring a spoiler.
The arch is still there, just less pronounced.

Looks pretty close, though we don't have a straight side shot to know for sure.
I guarantee you the "skinny seats" won't make it to production.

...too bad, a carbon-fiber frame would be so-o-o-o much lighter/stronger than the current stamped steel shells.
