No.

Freeman Thomas was principally responsible for the TT and TTS.
j. mays was principally responsible for the Concept 1 (and AVUS)
John Bandringa (sp?), who has/had the blue 90 in drag was a modeler/designer
who worked on both cars.  The firm for whom he now works in the NW put out a
trumped-up press release when he hired on. It wrongly redited him with
Concept 1. He was quite embarassed.

Trivia: The blue car (actually Bugatti Blue, I believe; it predated the RS2)
was also to be seen at the LA Auto Show in January of 1994.
