I prefer the s5, this is over done, kinda like a tacky bodykit on a celica...

Oh dear god that is ugly. And everyone who says it looks like the old R32-34 is entirly correct. Sometimes fender flares arent the answer audi...suck it up and just build new quarterpanels.

"Our artist's impression captures the essence of Project Anniversario – a lighter, stronger, faster Audi S5 Quattro planned for 2012."

Good, because Audi's designers don't follow the designs drawn by CAR.

Don't worry, it won't look anything like this aftermaarket, boy-racer nonsense.

Audi never has and never will do the tacky designs.

Fortunately, this car will have much improved performance

I doubt it will look like this. Quattro GmbH doesn't do teenage boy pubescent designs like Nissan, or overdone body paneling like AMG and M.

@VISO

The RS6 is overdone so don't be a fanboy!

^ The RS6 is a beast of epic proportions and that's coming from a BMW fanboy.

I like the direction the automakers are heading with smaller engines and lighter bodies. Should make track days rather fun.

We can all rest assured that Audi would never produce a car with such a goofy looking rear spoiler, hood vents, and cheezy body panels with obnoxious rims.

Audi has always produced RS cars that have a tight, yet athletic body without the tacky add-ons such as a goofy-looking rear spoiler, or weird hood vents, save the TT-RS with its obnoxiously large rear spoiler.
