Will Audi’s R4 Sports Coupe Reach Production?

Posted on 05 June 2010 by Scott Hayes

As the years roll on the Audi TT may arguably be starting to seem a bit ‘run of the mill’. In the 12 years since it’s been in production, the TT has developed a wonderful following and helped owners enjoy the experience of some good old fashion open top motoring.

However, Audi is now working on an all new sports car called the R4. Although this latest set of renderings is not meant to depict the final production car, you can get an idea of how the Audi R4 might look in Walter de Silva-approved, production sheetmetal… with the wheels from the R8 5.2 FSI V10. The R4 has not been touted as a replacement for the TT, but one look should tell you that the TT’s days could be numbered.

The mid-engine coupe will sit upon an entirely new chassis that was conceptualised on the VW BlueSport roadster concept car. An all electric R4 is also said to be in development and is based on the Audi e-tron concept car. Power will most likely come from a version VW’s 2.0-litre TFSI engine.
