Matchbox 20 Report post Posted February 22, 2005 The Avus was awesome! unfortunately it was only a concept and never produced, even in small numbers, it had extremely good aerodynamics A few stats: Weight - 2756 lb Enigne - W12 HP - 509 0-60 - 3.0 sec Top Speed - 211 mph a few pics: got the pics from http://www.fast-autos.net/audi/audiavusquattro.html Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pantera Report post Posted February 23, 2005 Impressive for an old concept. The Performance is still great it would give most cars today a run for there money. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Driftracer3 Report post Posted March 11, 2005 Where do you think the Gallardo came from ? The Gallardo was a new design... the Avus had nothing to do with it. Even Audi wouldnt use a 13 year old concept to start with a production car. No engine similarities either( 5.0 V10 and a 6.0 W12 ) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Placid Report post Posted August 20, 2005 old topic, i know just occured to me that the Zonda looks a bit like the Avus from the side: But still, I think the 14 years old Avus looks better :mrgreen: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Report post Posted August 20, 2005 Don't like it, not a fan of "long noses" or in this case "long tails". The Zonda is even borederline for me, wish the cockpit was more amidship. Still love it though, my current favorite supercar for sure with the F. And enough with the turbo worship, especially in a family sedan lol.
