March 3, 1980, Geneva: the dawn of a new chapter in motorsport history.

It thus reveals the mystery of the hypothetical R4 we mentioned in previous articles devoted to the Paris Motor Show:
looking closely , is she, the four, which is hidden under camouflage.
Based on the shortened platform of the RS5, this concept is presented with numerous references to famous ancestor: first of all the progress of the roof with the distinctive C-pillar (on which Rings are stamped on the Four), then the front cover with the large front air intake and the smallest on the right side. Among these is also pointed to the rear, very square and consists of a black band that runs the car in its entire width. Everything included in the current Audi design, as evidenced by the grille and headlights singleframe entirely with LEDs.
Low, aggressive and threatening, the result is a mix between the perfect modern look that flavor that permeates the 80s almost everywhere. The interior is minimalist, in contrast to other Audi: the main element is the instrumentation, fully digital, with graphics that clearly recalls the Ur-four. Even to commemorate the ancestor also provides the keys on the sides, according to a provision in vogue thirty years ago but now disused.
inside the instrument is also a screen that displays system information and entertainment / navigation, controlled via MMI knob located on the central tunnel. All that remains in the center console are the controls of climate.
are two places available, with seats made of one piece (weighing just 18kg each) and equipped with seat belts to four anchor points.
Now to the mechanical department: Yes, under the hood beats a five-cylinder turbo. This is the same unit that equips the TT-RS, whose power was, however, 408cv and raised up to 480nm. Transmits motion to the wheels via a 6-speed manual transmission and a multi-plate clutch in oil bath. The concept is based
four-as we have already said on the RS5, which incorporates the latest innovations in the field of four wheel drive, including the self-locking center differential called the crown-gear and the already known Sport Differential to rear. The base has been heavily modified, however, beginning with the dimensions: 4.28m long, 1.33m wide 1.87me just high, with a wheelbase shortened to 2.60m (which required the removal of rear seats). The body is all-aluminum Audi Space Frame by technology, and there are some parts in carbon, such as the retractable rear spoiler. The result is low weight at 1300kg, exactly as the original four. This allows us to reach 100km / h acceleration in just 3.9 seconds.
No word on a possible mass production, although limited, or a competitive engagement as the progenitor. All we can do for now, you see live at the Paris Salon.
