The concept was conceived by Ferdinand Piech while at Audi. Several rumors state that Porsche had investigated using this platform with a flat 6 since the 928 V8 was too big. Ultimately Porsche asked him (Audi) not to produce the car due to fears it would put Porsche out of business. Porsche was not doing very well in the early 1990's.
The really cool part? It uses Porsche 914 door handles! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)   |

In style I see R8 too, but proportions? It's not un-914 like. And you say Porsche couldn't get a 928 V8 into it? So even more kudos to Rick, who's shown he can.
