Audi Shooting Brake, Lector Edition

Speaking of Hannibal Lector, Audi will be introducing the next TT at the Tokyo Auto Show. It appears that - in honour of the show's closeness to Halloween - they've morphed the Audi grille into a take on Hannibal Lector's infamous mask.


Speaking of the new TT (the concept is officially called the Shooting Brake - which is weird as that's basically a British term for sporting station wagon), although it's more sleek it also looks more stale and boring - like an A3. Doesn't have the impact of the original. That and the rear looks like an old meld of original TT and Volvo SCC Concept.
