Bugatti has the Veyron. Lamborghini has the Aventador. Bentley recently unveiled the Continental GT3. Porsche will soon release the 918 Spyder. And what does Audi have? The Volkswagen Group's fifth premium marque was supposed to have the R8 E-tron, but that car is either half dead or barely alive, depending on the source. An ailing halo car is not what Audi's new R&D chief, Wolfgang Duerheimer, expected when he recently moved over from Bentley. Instead, the former BMW and Porsche top manager is pushing for a new, even more ambitious sports car project known as the R20.
