The nearest thing to a new corrado...

That mysterious Audi coupe we saw in grainy video form is slowly becoming more clear. The above photo shows off some of the styling lines, even though the curly-Q camo is trying hard to hide them. Originally, the internet was abuzz with word that this vehicle could be related to Audi's all-electric e-tron. Now, however, many are now backing away from that thinking – the large brakes, sporty wheels and shining tailpipes suggest otherwise. This could very likely be an R4 coupe or cabrio prototype basking in the Austrian sun, getting ready for a reverse ski-jump workout and laughing at our attempts to figure out what it is.

 

Our friends at GermanCarBlog may have a better idea as to exactly what's going on here. They believe this is not the e-tron, not the R4 coupe or cabrio, but the S5-based Audi Anniversario project. That's right folks, we may be staring at a long-awaited update to the beloved Ur-Quattro.

 

What exactly is sitting under the Van Gogh-esque wrap job remains to be seen. In the meantime, our eyes will remain glued to the 'tubes until we learn more.

 

Boredom at work is a beautiful thing isn't it? Anyways, this caught my eye, I know it's more of a new audi coupe/quattro/sport but because they made it look better it's lines just look so much like what a new corrado should look like.

hard to see what it would be vs the TT - the front looks very similar - but yes, looks more corrado like than anything else from VAG since 95.

It does look nice in the camo shot. Don't know if it is the same car as the 'anniversario' which definitely takes design queues from the UR.

Have to admit I was never fond of the old UR, just looked clumsy!

 

It is however the closest thing designwise I reckon we'll see to a corrado!

All it needs is a host of electrical issues and a kickass pop up spoiler and I'd jizz my pants
