Yep. Very nice.

I bet it's based off the porsche boxster...

Except it's clearly front-engine.

I wonder if VW AG is tired of the butt-kicking Skoda (a subsidiary) has taken in the WRC, and is considering something more competitive in the future?...

Except in the description it clearly says it's mid engine and according to porsche.com boxsters are also mid-engined.

Oops! I was looking at and referring to the Concept T. :eek:

Boxsters, however, use a 3.2L flat-6 (or "boxer" engine), while the Concept R will have a 3.2L V6 according to the description. Same displacement, same number of pistons, but otherwise 2 very different engines that would not be capable of sharing the same platform or chassis.

My first thoughts were: It looks like the scorpion from UT2004 without the gun on the back or the blades on the sides.
