2008 Audi A2 - The Mini Killer?

Audi is looking to take on BMW's Mini with their sporty next generation A2. Based on the Volkswagen Polo platform, this 2008 model will most likely feature Quattro AWD along with an optional turbocharger. Read on after the jump.

"When we look at this segment it is clear there are a lot of customers who want a car below the A3," Audi Chairman Martin Winterkorn said in an interview at the Geneva auto show. "Mini has done well with its car. It has become more and more apparent there is demand there."

This is actually the Audi TT Shooting Brake concept car that is nearing production specification. It will replace the current TT later this year. It is not based on the polo platform but rather the new Golf MKV (Bora or Jetta) body frame. This prototype in the picture utilizes a 3.2 (VR6 only as a VW and a V6 as an Audi) and 4 wheel drive system. 6 gears to play with... Power out put is the same as the Golf MK IV R32.

Looks ok, though I think it looks to long in back. I like the mini more. Thats not to say I wouldn't take this over my 89' toyota pickup anyday! XD

LOOKS cool yes, but look how high the beltline is, I bet you feel 6yo driving it AND can't see a damn thing. Those side and rear windows look about 12"

I never thought Audi could come up with an uglier version of the already hideous BMW 1 Series. Jolly bad show chaps.
