Has anyone seen the new Audi Nuvolari Quattro prototype? Isn't it excellent? I wanna hear your comments! :D

I'm not a fan of Audi's, i like them but on a normal level. The new Nuvolari(btw this is an Italian name, why did the germans choose it?? :roll: ), is a great car. It is menat to contest with the M6, the CL55 AMG, and the Alfa Romeo Evoluta. Will it make it? Really dunno...

Audi chose that name because it was the name of a famous old race driver, who raced with Audi. Audi also uses the word "quattro", which is also an Italian word. :wink:
I think it's gonna make ita against the competition!
BTW, what is the Alfa Romeo Evoluta?? Perhaps you mean the Brera? :?:

Beat the M6?? I really don't think tat up to this date none of Audi's cars has mnaged to OVERALL beat any of Bimmer's cars.

as for the Evoluta, Brera was the name of the prototype, Evoluta is the name of the model which is going to be realesed. It's almost the same with the Brera. Check www.italiaspeed.com ,or in the forum the topic that syas "sth xtremely impo about Alfa".

The new audi is wery good car. i think it will be hard for merc CL , SL or BMW M6 because this car is good!! :evil: :twisted: :P :D :) 8)

well itll have 500BHP + so technnically it should be well able to compete with/possibly beat the CL - but itll be more of a traditional sportscar than the CL.

BTW NiGiz nuvolari was a racer with audi and won many races for Audi Le Mans team.

An Italian one. Dunno but isn't it kinda weird that a German manufacturer, decided to name it's fastest car after an Italian? Maybe we can see that Audi wants to grab some glory from the Italian supercars? :roll:

thats maybe got alot to do with it
Audi dont have a supercar image, so they decide maybe to 'steal' the italians.
But theres nothing wrong with taht - its better than what VW did, with the W12 - awful name in comparision.

I don't think they wanna steal image. They just want to honour the memory of the driver.

i didn't see the car and never heard about it ...
if u have some links about the car i would like to know about it more ...
thanks

You can find some great pics here (http://www.highresautoimages.com/1280/audi/nuvolari.html), and information about the car here (http://www.ultimatecarpage.com/frame.mv?file=car.mv&num=1624). :D

i know the pics ...but i didn't know the name ...
thanks for the information again

thats a good site - the pics are as the name suggestion high resolution :D

looking at them - its definetly a better looking car than the CL.
Not being a massive fan of the CL, id be having the Nuvolari.

although im don't seem to be the greatest fan for Audi ...
but i prefer the Audi Nuvolari Quattro over the CL :wink:

I'm telling you, it's gonna be one of the finest cars ever built, considering every aspect! :wink: Did you read the specs?? It's awesome! And the design is great too!
(well i'm anxious to see the price though... :P )

it will probably be HIGH!!!!!!

LOL I guess so... :roll:

I don't think they wanna steal image. They just want to honour the memory of the driver.

Who was an Italian and drove with Alfa Romeo :wink:

OK... The Nuvolari's gonna be great anyway! Who cares about the name? It will be built in Germany, following the German standards of quality. :wink:
BTW NiGiz, Nuvolari drove for Audi, not for Alfa Romeo... :wink:

...he drove for alfa as well!!

in the same way shumacher didnt always drive with ferrari.

OK, my mistake... :oops:
However, just like Schumacher got all his glory with Ferrari, I also think that Nuvolari won most of his victories with Audi, that's why they're trying to honour him now.

yeah that's right..hes remembered for his LeMans victories with Audi.

Wow... what words could really describe that?... :shock:

From the way i see it, it looks like a big TT. :roll:

i think its alot better looking than the TT - lesss bubbly more aggressive.

And even if it did - what would be wrong with that! - nothing wrong with Audi sportscars having similar traits! :D

Now that im getting a closer and more precise look, i observed sth..Take a good look of the lower part just under the door..The lines that r used there r just like the Bimmer' new style..Especially Z4's. It has the same wave curve..

Check out the back side...

:shock: :shock:

i love it good speed very nice but is the nuveria (sorry if im messtaking for the name ) but is it more sport or more clasy inside :D

From the way i see it, it looks like a big TT. :roll:

I find that i looks not at all like the TT :!:
i find it looks more like the S4 :D

If you find a pic of the interior, please post it here.

i cant see anything in common with the S4.
It look a little like the A8 from the back...

Personally I think the design is unique. This car certainly is in the list with my top dreamcars. :shock:

i like the design too ...
but i have nothing else to say about it ... except that its cool

Man... :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:
I'm in love with this!!!!!

yeah me too!
Best audi ever - better than the audi quattro id say.

Also some of the best set of alloys ive ever seen.

Yeah! And wait till you read the engine specs... :shock:

I think this car will be a great selling car :D

Great pics jimkk29 ....

it looks better now ... not as a combination of a TT and an A8 :wink:

Man it's really beautiful... :shock:

yea everybody seems to love it

I can't wait till it come's out to see some on the road :D

LOL I guess you won't see many because of the high price!!

yea the price of Audi is comming highyer and highyer :cry:
But there nicer and nicer :mrgreen:

true ... but the quality of the cars are getting superb !!
the prices are little too high in my opinion ... the cars dont worth that much ....
" im talking about prices in israel "
there is sometimes a difrance of 40% of the price with component cars!

well that definetly isnt true in the UK/Europe.

Audi A8 is thousands less than the S class - and the A8 seems to be a better car with more advanced technology

the prices are little too high in my opinion ... the cars dont worth that much ....
" im talking about prices in israel "

in general what's the price have an audi in israel

:arrow: Mallon
At first glance the A8 might seem more technologically advanced, but it does not reach the image and the quality of the S-class... 8)
Never mind, it's off-topic anyway.

...i think it passes the S class in quality Jim...

I'm not going to argue this here... it's off topic. Please talk about the Nuvolari Quattro. :D

in general what's the price have an audi in israel

i guess an A3 1.6 liter engine standart is aproxematly 30000 euro !!! the simplest audi in israel !

thats twice the UK price - thats absolutely horrible.
I take it most people would have a second hand car?

:D That Quattro looks like an UFO to me. To exagerated!!!

:arrow: :wink: Impreza007

ya we usually do that. ...
if i wanna buy a sports car i would probably be 3rd or even 4th hand!!!
the prices are extremly high over here!

heheh that's fun !

I think that Audi nuvolari is @$%% ugly!
I like only one thing about the audi and that are indeed the two names Quattro and Nuvolari because that was indeed a great race driver!

Now please guys don't think the Audi will ever beat the Alfa Romeo Brera/ Evoluta!

Place them near each other an then you'll see , the audi is Ugly and the Alfa Romeo is beautiful!!!

NOthing is more beautiful then Italian design!

Greetz : danny!

well when comparing the looks, thats down to taste - personally i prefer the audi.

But when you say that the Brera will beat the Audi in performance terms, you are wrong. The Nuvolari has an extra 200BHP at 600BHP. And It also has 4WD.
The audi will destroy the Alfa round a circuit!

i agree the Audi will beat the Alfa on a track
but the Alfa is much more beautiful ....

its all about taste 8)

not in my opinion - i prefer the audi's almost minimalist design. Also the Brera from the back is a little odd looking.

@ Mallon : I know the Audi is faster , but i mean indeed the design of the cars! wow Alfa did a very good job with the Brera i think?
But your right that's always only a opinion , so could be diffrence for anyone!

What do you mean by the back of the brera is looking ODD<---- what does this mean ?? :P

greetz : Danny!

Odd means strange.

The Audi beats the guts out of Alfa in every possible aspect. Design, performance, quality, engineering, transmission, everything! The difference is sooooooo huge!!

hmm ... It's for me hard to translate it in English but...

I CAN:T SEE ANY DESIGN IN THAT AUDI :shock: :shock:

Look at that car , hmm how can i explain ???? Yes i've got it , a 4 years old child can design this car , you know what i mean ? it's simple!

Nothing that looks NICE , or even agressive in this model many cars of the VW/AUDI group have this problem ! but ok again, this is my opinion!

Greetz : Danny

I know it's simple, but that's the point!! Anyway, I'm crazy about it! I honestly can't understand the reason you don't like it! :? :shock: :?:

now that's the TASTE of someone.....hehe

I can not see any reason why you like that Audi ....

another thing why i don;t like the audi : look at that head light or that rear lights you'll think that your in a fair actraction , looks like your walkin at the Fair!

And the model is much to futuristic in my eye's..

BUt ok , agian it all comes to opinion's!

Greetz : Danny!

hmm ... It's for me hard to translate it in English but...

I CAN:T SEE ANY DESIGN IN THAT AUDI :shock: :shock:

Look at that car , hmm how can i explain ???? Yes i've got it , a 4 years old child can design this car , you know what i mean ? it's simple!

Nothing that looks NICE , or even agressive in this model many cars of the VW/AUDI group have this problem ! but ok again, this is my opinion!

Greetz : Danny

i dont know how you can say its like it was designed by a 4 year old. It may not be your taste, but you could never say that - it is totally fantastic looking and thats all there is to say on the subject!

Yeah!! :shock: :shock: :D

hehe chill mallon....

That with the 4 years old child was only to explain WHY i don't like that audi , ik didn;t know how to tell you guys WHY i don;t like the design of that audi ?

So again : I mean by iit COULD be designed by a 4 year old child , that the design looks VERY simple to me. IF you look to much Italian cars ( no ofcourse not a Fiat Panda)
Than you can see a design , but i can't find a hard and special nice looking lines in the car.. so this was all about to explain WHY i don't like the design ok??

So don't wurry Mallon i know that it isn't designed by a 4 year old child ;)

greetz : Danny!

For me, simplicity in design is an advantage. I don't like complex and difficult designs.
