Audi 20quattro Vision Gran Turismo

Designed by Gabriel Naretto, Automotive Designer at Bertone

A brutalist take on Audi’s future

The Audi 20quattro Vision Gran Turismo exists in a world where design is no longer bound by production limits. Created by Gabriel Naretto, the concept reimagines Audi’s DNA through the lens of Brutalist and Deconstructivist architecture, turning structure into sculpture and speed into matter.

This project isn’t about redesigning a car, but about rethinking what an Audi is when function meets pure artistic intent.

The vision

The 20quattro is a formal experiment that pushes Audi’s design language into an alternate dimension where engineering precision fuses with architectural power. It captures the spirit of an extreme Audi, an object born from the tension between control and chaos.

Inspirations and context

Naretto’s concept draws from two motorsport icons: the Audi 90 IMSA GTO and the R8 LMP, machines that defined Audi’s dominance at Le Mans. These references are merged with architectural inspirations, the raw concrete strength of Brutalism and the fragmented dynamism of Deconstructivism.

Together, they form a conceptual triangle uniting Audi Sport, the 24 Hours of Le Mans, and Vision Gran Turismo, a dialogue between engineering reality and digital imagination.

Design and form

The 20quattro is carved from solid volume. Each plane acts as an architectural surface, divided by functional cuts that become compositional elements.

Red air intakes puncture the body like controlled fractures, revealing inner force and aerodynamic logic. The metallic beige finish breaks from Audi’s typical palette, offering a tactile, almost sensual tone that feels raw yet sophisticated.

At the rear, the horizontal light bar and quattro lettering echo Audi’s legacy, while its long, low stance channels endurance racers that once ruled Le Mans.

A speculative manifesto

Beyond its sculptural form, the 20quattro Vision Gran Turismo questions how car design evolves when freed from physical limitations. It imagines a future where architecture and aerodynamics merge, and where design becomes a dialogue between rational precision and emotional intensity.

For Gabriel Naretto, it’s not just a concept, it’s a manifesto for Audi’s parallel future, where quattro’s legacy meets new possibilities in pure, expressive form.
