Audi R9 Concept: Russian student creates his own sportscar for a University design project (Photos)

A new design study for a high performance sports saloon is the handy work of a Russian student who studies at Moscow State Technical University.  He has come up with a new design which is a collection of elements from various models such as the R8, A5 and A7 Sportback.  The student has named this design study R9 and is based on designs borrowed from the Audi R8 and Lamborghini Estoque.

These designs are seen with a new front mounted engine and the Audi Quattro all wheel drive system is also one of the outstanding features of this students designs.  There are a host of photos which give an idea of the in-depth research and efforts put into this design study.

The front is made by analogy with the latest generation of cars VW, whose schedule before the image of the two horizontal lines, inspired by earlier models of VW. For R9 was based on the classical model of Audi Quattro, which has graphics to be based on one broad band of the radiator grille. Thus, the decision came with a dark “embedded” element that unites the grille, the additional elements of the cooling and lights.
