Much to the dismay of Audi’s fans, the European financial crisis and Ingolstadt’s growing interest in the SUV and crossover segments reportedly nixed any chances that the brand with the four rings would produce the Quattro Concept, originally presented at the 2010 Paris Auto Show.

Nevertheless, a Belorussian designer named Serikk wanted to share his own vision of what the Audi Ur-Quattro of the 21st century would look like with a set of conceptual drawings, inspired from both the street-legal and the awesome Sport Quattro B-Group rally cars of the 1980s.

Serikk also came up with a second design for an Audi coupe, which we assume would be based on the modern Ur-Quattro with a less potent powertrain.

Check out the renderings of both concepts and some pictures of the original Quattro coupes for yourself right past the break.
