The red sport q

[sdewitt at stx.rr.com]

Actually no. 

The sport Q is a short wheelbase model which utilizes a windshield and door from an audi 80 or 90 of the same year, making it almost 2 feet shorter. 

The only coupe parts used is probably the rear glass and rear hatch (which is supposed to be carbon fibre).
