RE: A8 V12 / Spyder numbers & history

["PAT MARTIN" <MARDKINS@msn.com>]

It looks like its your lucky day I have the book "the cars that europe never 
built: 50 years of experimental cars".  2+2 coupe with all wheel drive.  2.2 
litre turbo with about 200hp.  About the size and shape of a very smoothed out 
scirraco.  Had headlights just like the current Accuras with the 4 small holes 
in the front.   Had side windows like a subi SVX.  Front and rear bumpers were 
a kevlar/honeycomp/kevlar sandwich.  Hood was aluminum.  Doors were 
steel/polypropylene/steel sandwich.  Seat frames and steering wheel carbon 
fibre. This car was built in 1981!!!

Do any of you also remember the AUDI QUARTZ?  this was a 2 door sports car
shown in the late 70s or early 80s.  I was a little strange in design, like a
first generation sciracco on steroids with the Audi rings at the bottom of
the C pilar which hid the gas cap.  There is a book called something like
"Show cars they never built" that I saw this in, I wish I could track down
more info on it.
