I'm liking the direction Jaguar has been taking of late... The XK, the XF, the new XJ and now the C-X75 concept to celebrate the marque's 75th anniversary:
Would look pretty sharp next to Michele's XJ-220 or Elio's XF-R, would it not?

seems it has a 90 hp engine and will get up to 100mph,so i'm guessing it probably has a 5 speed car gearbox on it

Well... the original with just the 2-speed box was notably pretty quick in the day as well and held a number of speed records. However, I just don't think a 2-speed car would be saleable these days, vintage nostalgia or no. Ditto things like manual timing advance and needing to lean out the side so it doesn't tip over in corners.Awinnell wrote:Alfisti wrote:

Certain models of the original 3-wheelers where definately capable of "breaking the ton." It's not as impressive as impressive an achievement today, when even a minivan can top 100mph in air conditioned comfort, but back in the days before safety was invented it must have been an exercise in sheer white-knuckle nerve!

Soo... New Quattro. Thoughts?
Personally, I think it needs more glass area and better ground clearance (read: more rally, less show pony). Other than that, kinda cool.

It looks FUGLY.
Where's the front bumper?
What are those things under the headlights? It makes the car look like its crying!
From the front wheel axles to the rear, its fine, but that front end and nose HAS TO GO!!!
What were they smoking when they designed it?!

The reason has to be marketing. Audi is trying to push upscale & compete with Mercedes, BMW and Jaguar. As a result they race Le Mans sports-cars, where they can be seen racing against higher profile, upscale manufacturers.
Who is in WRC now (and over the last few years)? Ford, Citroen, Subaru, Mitsubishi, Suzuki, Skoda...Mini next year. Not exactly the marques Audi wants to be associated (or beaten by) with while promoting an upmarket image.

Audi parent VW is also likely going into WRC within the next year or two, so no need for Audi.

Oh don't get me wrong... I wasn't suggesting that Audi should be getting back into rallying because you're right: it's not their market anymore.Professor Voodoo wrote:I had friends who asked similar questions when the Audi TT came out..."Why doesn't Audi get back into the World Rally Championship?"Alfisti wrote:Soo...

However, and by the same token, I think if you're going to do a throwback to what was one of the greatest rally cars of all time then it should take a few rally cues (and I really do think the high window line above the flared bodywork looks odd).
I must admit of course that part of that is probably some of my own urge to see someone do a small, fast softroader... something that you could feasibly punt down a dirt backroad straight out of the box.

Mini is re-entering the WRC next year with the Countryman model, so I expect we'll see a civilian version of it and that should be pretty chuckable...

That Esprit had better be able to swim or grow some ski-racks sharpish...
I am however happy to see that it appears to have only one funcitoning pop-up headlamp. Means it's a proper Lotus.
Seriously though, I love them both as well.

Yeah, the X 1/9 and Fieros had the same issue with the head lights. So did any car that had hidden or retractable headlights.
Great cars in their time and some would argue for all time.

Nissan Murano Convertible.
Sorry Nissan, but the luxury, roofless, 4X4 has already been done. It was done by Range Rover, who did it better and then gave it to James Bond:
Actually, I wouldn't mind one of those (the Rangie), just for the utter bizzarness of it. In brown, of course.
