that first TT suddenly reminded me of another monstrocity
you have a car with a drag coeficient of 0.26, that looks like this ![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d7/Opel_Calibra.jpg/800px-Opel_Calibra.jpg)
so you turn it into this
by the looks of the new doorhandle the driver is pretty short, wich makes me wonder how he can see over that new bonnet ![Big Grin](/forum/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)

So, does this Audi have a v12 or something ridiculous or what?
Tell you what it needs, is a 1.2l ecomatic diesel with ev mode.

I was 15 years old back then, I sure bought into it. Sort of a poor man's Lotus Esprit, I still like them both.

The Audi is pretty silly, sure makes a cool custom car show entry though.

Yeah, I still compare the TR7 to current cars because I think it did influence car design. There is a practical "logic" to doing this in the sense that it increases the volume of the trunk (boot for UKers), albiet at the cost of decreased rear visibility.
