Audi Avus Quattro

The Audi Avus quattro was a " supercar -
styled" concept car from the German car
manufacturer Audi. It was first introduced at
the 1991 Tokyo Motor Show. The Avus
quattro had an aluminum body, which made it
a lightweight and safe automobile. This
second showing of the new aluminium
architecture (after the quattro Spyder a month
before) paved the way for the mass-produced
aluminium A8 in 1994.
The Avus quattro's engine was supposed to
be a 6.0 L 60-valve 12-cylinder engine
producing 509 PS (374 kW; 502 hp), capable
of accelerating the car from 0 to 60 mph
(97 km/h) in about 3 seconds and a top speed
of 211 mph (340 km/h). The exact car shown
at the Tokyo Motor Show, however, had a
dummy made of carefully painted wood and
plastic for an engine because at the time,
such a powertrain was still in development;
Audi-made W12 engines were not available to
buyers until Audi presented its flagship A8 a
few years later.
The Avus quattro is now on display at Audi's
museum mobile in Ingolstadt , Germany .
