Illustration for article titled More Audi Sportback Concept Shots Leak, Reveal Interior Hotness

After seeing the interior on the Audi Sportback Concept, we’re feeling kind of bad for making fun of it yesterday. The CLS/X6 rival is starting to look seriously nice.

Utterly irrelevant segment aside, check out the new, warmer interior look from Audi. Gone is harsh Teutonic functionality, replaced with a more inviting feel from curved metals, medium-tone woods and white leather. The press conference for this thing is coming up in less than an hour, so stay tuned for more details and live shots.

I really like this execution of the "four-door coupé" style. The Panamera is hideous, the Rapide is interesting, the CLS is old, but I think this will look very good in the metal. Audi has a way of giving their cars a road presence that doesn't always come through in pics (A5?).

As for the interior, I think it's a great step out of the heavy Teutonic style and into real luxury territory - hope it'll make the production version. It has a definite feel of Flavio Manzoni (worked with him at Lancia, now he's VW's "Head of Creative Design"). Most brilliant interior designer I've ever seen.
