That mysterious Audi coupe we saw in <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/09/13/video-mystery-audi-coupe-spied-on-ski-slopes/">grainy video form</a> is slowly becoming more clear. The above photo shows off some of the styling lines, even though the curly-Q camo is trying hard to hide them. Originally, the internet was abuzz with word that this vehicle could be related to Audi's all-electric <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/e-tron">e-tron</a>. Now, however, many are now backing away from that thinking - the large brakes, sporty wheels and shining tailpipes suggest otherwise. This could very likely be an <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/R4">R4</a> coupe or cabrio prototype basking in the Austrian sun, getting ready for a reverse ski-jump workout and laughing at our attempts to figure out what it is.<br />
<br />
Our friends at GermanCarBlog may have <a target="_blank" href="http://www.germancarblog.com/2010/09/audi-anniversario-not-audi-r4-e-tron-but-audi-rs5-based-sport-quattro/">a better idea</a> as to exactly what's going on here. They believe this is not the e-tron, not the R4 coupe or cabrio, but <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/08/06/report-audis-ur-quattro-inspired-project-anniversario-s5-delay/">the S5-based Audi Anniversario project</a>. That's right folks, we may be staring at a long-awaited update to the beloved Ur-Quattro. <br />
<br />
What exactly is sitting under the Van Gogh-esque wrap job remains to be seen. In the meantime, our eyes will remain glued to the 'tubes until we learn more.<br />
