Audi has said the Le Mans quattro, its sexy and sporty concept car shown at the Frankfurt Motor Show last month, may go into production. Melinda-June Jenkins, Audi senior designer in colour and trim, hopes it will. "All the people who worked on the car hope it will become a production vehicle," she says. Peter Zieten, head of colour and trim, adds that the carmaker needs to examine the economical implications of making such a car, before giving the go ahead. "We like to create concept cars, but the important thing is to create cars that we can make money from," he says. The TT concept, launched a few years ago at the same show, received such an incredible reaction from the public that the carmaker showed no hesitation in going into production. That, it seems, set the benchmark for Audi show cars.
