    The latest sketch reminds me of the Audi Rosemeyer concept, which at the time was amazing but now looks a tad dated.

    Matthias Nirschl made very nice Coupe, Roadster and Shooting brake designs.

    Will be interesting to see where Audi take it- a mini R8 with perhaps some Quattro concept cues would be cool. One of the nicest attributes of current gen is the cleanliness of body surfaces- should age well in years to come.

    On the earlier mules it does not look like it, but on this latest one it does.

    Yeah me too, a definite move towards being more masculine than either Mk1 or Mk2. I especially like the crease over the arches and between them.

    Ditto. If Audi is watching this thread, please choose that direction. A winner.

    During the Paris Motorshow Wolfgang Egger said that the new Audi A3 is the last Audi in this design style.
    The "Audi Crosslane Coupe Concept" mark the start of a new design era at Audi.
    The upcoming Audi Q2 and next TT will be the first cars designed in this new Design direction.
    The first Gen TT had a Concept brother called "Audi steppenwolf" a offroader in the same design style as the TT.
    Now Audi is working the other way around with the "Crosslane Concept" (based on the Steppenwolf philosophy) the TT will be next.

    Yes, same here.
    I always said that the TT would be better off with a longitudinal engine layout.
    I think the TT RS would be a faster car if it had the 3.0TFSI V6 quattro drive line of the S4 with sport diff in the rear axle.

    Not entirely sure if the MQB platform which I think the TT will be using is capable of supporting a longitudinal engine layout.

    Nope, MQB will not support a longitudinal engine layout, the next TT will get a transverse engine layout again.
    The latest black testmule proof that, with less front overhang, with a longitudinal engine layout the overhang could not get shorter, on the contrary even.
