But it ain't what you're thinking of, trust me    The new A1. I spotted it at Le Mans this year because Audi had just unveiled it. |

What a weird thing for Audi to do! It falls a bit short, in my opinion. The trailing edge of the back arch looks weird. I don't know if it's just a weird radius or whether the (smaller?) steels and whitewalls just accentuate it more.
Also, stripe or flames... both at the same time is weird.
With some more nods to the era it's drawing from, it could work. But that to me looks a bit half-assed.

0% hot rod.
as BB says the whole rear arch/rear wheel/rear 1/4 roofline relationship is very clumsy. not to emntion the horrendous rear bumper/overing thing. the rest of it looks like a bmw one series.

What a weird thing for Audi to do! It falls a bit short, in my opinion. The trailing edge of the back arch looks weird.. It is sitting pressed up against a slope on that corner. The rear wheel is shoved up in the arch awkwardly, presumably because it's got swing arm rear suspension (or whatever it's called). |

It was also at the Worthersee show earlier in the year along with a couple of other slightly more dodgy looking examples . This was the best of the bunch and probably also the one with the least money spent on it . Apart from the writing on the bonnet I kinda like it  |

Middle-aged VAG and ad execs trying to put their finger on the pulse of what 'the kids' are into and unfortunately hitting their target audience (which isn't us) dead on.
No doubt the same execs who thought up the Hot Rod advert.

Anyone think to google what it says on the bonnet! It was part of a contest for audi customising club. Its basically someone getting given a car and being able to scribble all over it or whatever they choose. Someone in this "club" decided to build a take on a hotrod/custom / whatever....

Get rid of the terribly done flames and the cliched whitewalls on modern car and I could really dig that. It's not going to change the world, but it could be nice. As it stands I can see the potential, but it's not quite hitting the mark.

The rear wheel is shoved up in the arch awkwardly, presumably because it's got swing arm rear suspension (or whatever it's called). Yeah, Has been lowered too though? The rear wheel comes forward same as the mk3 golf when lowered or pushed up by a bump. I like the steels and whitewalls combo, think the flames make it comical in this case, each to their own. Seeing it about in a sea of samely moderns would brighten my day so for that reason it's a win. |
