Might be old news to many since this has been around since 2011. This would be cool if it materialized...

Reports are that the project was killed beause the i5 interfered with some european crash standard on hood clearance.

I want to build basically the same car. The protos had aluminum chassis that are about 220 lighter than a steel framed a5 or s5 we could get here, but I bet you could get a steel car down to 3000lbs in track trim. Extra weight would be compensated with more than 400hp like this "beast" had :)

I seriously wish that they would have done more with it.

If I won a powerball I'd have a "0 mile" RS5 delivered to IMS for some fun :D
