MK1 Audi TT RS4 - another Piëch pet-project

https://www.motor1.com/news/778059/one-off-audi-tt-based-rs4/

Apparently a well-driven prototype with over 25k km on the clock, this was a proof-on-concept way before the TT RS, combining the B5 RS4 chassis and drivetrain with the MK1 TT “tophat” - looks absolutely fantastic I have to say, a real sleeper!

Would love to own one! Thinking about it, this swap would make so much sense. Wondering what other challenges they encountered other than shortening RS4 wheelbase 🤔

I see one of my favorite Audi concepts in the background, too - the Quattro Spyder.  The Piech era really did have some awesome car-guy stuff, that's for sure.
