Remember the Audi quattro concept that was shown at the 2010 Paris Motor Show? Now we have news that Audi may put the coupe/3-door hatch into production, according to a recent post by Jalopnik. Apparently a reader of the motoring website spotted a quattro running around with design studio license plates in Malibu, Calirfornia.

It was definitely for a photo shoot as a classic quattro was also present and there was police escort as well. The reader then asked one of the crew members some questions and he or she ‘confirmed’ that the quattro concept is going into production. There is nothing official about this and it will be interesting to hear what Audi has to say.

As mentioned before, the all-wheel-drive Audi quattro concept weighs 1,300 kilograms and it is powered by a turbocharged 2.5 liter 5-potter which makes 402hp and 480Nm of torque. Naught to 100km/h can be reached in 3.9 seconds. You can read more about it here.
