The Audi Avus quattro was a "supercar-styled" concept car from the German car manufacturer, Audi. It was first introduced at the 1991 Tokyo Motor Show. The Avus quattro had an aluminum exterior, which made it a lightweight, sleek and safer automobile.

The Avus quattro's engine was supposed to be a 6.0 L 60-valve 12-cylinder engine producing Convert|509|hp|kW|0|abbr=on, capable of accelerating the car from 0 to Auto mph|60|0 in about 3 seconds and a top speed of Auto mph|211|0. The exact car shown at the Tokyo Motor Show, however, had a dummy made of carefully painted wood and plastic for an engine because at the time, such a powertrain was still in development; Audi-made W12 engines were not available to buyers until Audi presented its flagship A8 a few years later.

The Avus quattro is now on display at Audi's museum in Ingolstadt, Germany.
