The Stinger could have side lights with a little refresh (instead of a single, dinky one). That is one overdone brake scoop, maybe it looks better from the front.

, here's a vid , with a few more "borrows" IMHO !

This concept has charging ports on both sides; maybe that's a common feature on EVs and I just hadn't noticed.

The brake scoops do look good from the front.

The whole car is really sharp. Love the playful lighting options.

The wheels/tires look almost Hot Wheels big, which is very cool looking; but how is the ride going to be with such a thin sidewall of rubber?

I doubt the production vehicles will use such low profile tires or such large wheels ( especially given electric positioning ) but you cant escape the similarities between this and the Stinger , Peter has inspired a lot of people in Germany too ! This car continues to validate the forward design ques the Stinger launched with !

That car looks NOTHING like a Stinger. I'm seeing current gen A6 with an ugly grille in the front and Etron GT/Porsche Taycan lights/reflectors in the rear.

If we're talking just the side reflector/light, how many cars has that already been done on? All of them? Most? I'm pretty sure there's a law (in the U.S., at least) that says cars have to have reflectors or lights there for side visibility. Most just wrap their tail lights around to the side to meet that requirement. Audi just threw a few LEDs in there because Audi is known for playing around with lights.

Not sure why the semi-hostile reply. I merely commented that the car doesn't look like the Stinger and the light bar wrap around thing is common amongst MOST vehicles on the road.

Is that a reply you were planning to give anyone who disagrees with your assessment or do I just have a special place in your heart?

ahhh c'mon K , you know you're special , and I never referenced the light bar ....................I mentioned the rear side lights that have been controversial here to the point vinyl overlays were produced to cover them ........
