Default probably, eventually, that new fuel stuff from the r8 --- but only after it trickles down from the

a8 line....plus, we've got CVT first (sort of)....

Default I wouldn't imagine seeing that much racing stuff being handed down.

but all the ergonomical and "gee whiz" features from the avantissimo would be cool to have.

I don't really like the extrior of that prototype, but the headlights idea is pretty darn neat. Reflectors that run when you turn the car? What a cool idea!
