A bit of snow is not going to stop the mighty Audi

You might find the following also interesting:

As many now, "Quattro" started as a specific Audi Model, introduced 1980. The huge success and fame of this model led to the "Quattro" suffix of all the following AWD Audis. But funny enough the original Audi Quattro (or "Ur-Quattro" in German) was planned to be named Audi Carat, an acronym for "Coupe All-Rad-Antrieb Turbo" which translates to "all wheel drive turbo coupe". But Audi tossed that because of a perfume of that time with a rather questionable target group's image...

Always thought it was funny that Audi chose the *Italian* word for four...
although I guess Audi Vier doesn't sound as good.

No. Let me help:

1) Not 2012 but 1994-1997.
2) There's no "AWD" with Audi, it's simply "Quattro".
3) It's not an A4, it's based on an A6. The first one by the way, successor to Audi's "100" series.
4) It's not a 2.0T, it's a naturally aspirated V8.
5) Above is also the reason why i wrote "based on an A6" because it's an S6 to be precise. The little badge on the trunk is a giveaway.

love the idea. this guy is trying to mass produce his invention (it's just this prototype at the moment) and asks for small donations. as a thank you he offers donators access to his online photo gallery (he's a photographer since 10 years). not much but i like the concept of giving something back right now even if the project itself will take months to finish.

little correction: company is called Bavaria Film, the theme park is called Bavaria Filmstadt and the street adress is Bavariafilmplatz (which translates to something like "Bavaria Film Square").

someday we might make something that someone could turn to some use or maybe some product, but there has to go some more science into it and sometime in the future it might actually work.

wow. what a complete, useless piece of "news".
