The Audi Quattro Is Go For Production

We've seen the Audi Quattro concept under auto show lights, but Jalopnik reader Brian caught the car out in Malibu on Monday. Its minders let slip what's been rumored so far: the Quattro will get a limited production build.

Brian caught the concept — complete with its design-studio license plate and one-off interior — on the Pacific Coast Highway, escorted by the California Highway Patrol. Along for the ride to a photo shoot was a classic red Quattro.

Given Volkswagen's desire to surpass Toyota as the world's largest automaker, and its vow to spend $72 billion (yes, billion) by 2015, finding a few million to reignite the dreams of Quattro lovers around the world seems as easy as Malibu in November.

Hat tip to Brian!
