Audi R4 death, A2 delayed
According to Auto Motor und Sport magazine, Audi has killed the highly-anticipated R4. The Audi e-tron Concept from 2010 was said to be a near-perfect preview of the car–though the concept’s all-electric powertrain would be replaced by a gas-burner.
However, Audi was forced to pull it over: reason - Conflict with Audi’s TT and Porsche’s Boxster–cannibalizing sales. Furthermore, the Volkswagen Bluesport variant would likely have been too expensive to be competitive.
On the same time, the Audi A2 revival has reportedly been delayed until 2016. Details are limited, but Volkswagen wants the car to be built on a group platform instead of a bespoke chassis.
