Shame that apparently professional (watermarked) photographer couldn't deal with the reflections better.
Also, it's surprisingly similar (in looks) to the Rover 800 coupe.
Here's another shot:

Finally: gone, but not forgotten.....
1998 D2 PF S8. AgateGrey/Platinum. Every option (I think) except electric rear seats, tiptronic steering wheel, ski hatch, towbar & dimming door mirrors.
e.g. Cruise control, NavPlus/TV, Bose, GSM, Xenons, Solar roof, Parking sensors, Alcantara/leather everywhere of course. (internal dimming mirror added later)

And before that a lot of Rover 800s, a few oddities, a lovely Triumph Dolomite 1850HL with Overdrive and way back in my schooldays an Austin Seven aka Mini 850!

Very nice car indeed, why do audi do this? it reminds me of what they did with the RS2 Saloon that never made full production and only 2 were ever officially made:



I saw this one at AITP 7 in 2015:
