We were pretty psyched about the possibility of seeing a production version of the Audi Quattro Concept unveiled at the 2010 Paris Auto Show, but now, all of that joy has vanished because Audi->ke14has officially confirmed that a production Quattro never happen. At least, not like the sports car seen at the show. Instead, the company will be working on a two-door SUV equipped with a Quattro system.

Don't worry, we don't understand it either.

According to Audi, there is no market for such a model. We find it hard to believe that a limited edition sports coupe, with an RS5->ke2628 engine and a design inspired by the Quattro Concept wouldn't steal the hearts of many customers, but they didn't ask our opinion. Audi announced that today's market is ripe for crossovers and SUVs, and this is what they plan to offer.

The next Audi Q Coupe will follow in the steps of the Range Rover Evoque and will be inspired by the CrossLane Coupe Concept seen at the 2012 Paris Auto Show. The model will be offered with a five-cylinder turbo motor combined with an all-wheel drive system and a seven-speed dual-clutch S-tronic transmission.

The new Audi Q Coupe will be unveiled sometime in 2015.
