Audi unveiled the Nuvolari Quattro concept at the 2003
Geneva Motor Show. The Nuvolari was Audi's interpretation
of what a modern GT car should be. The 2 door, 2+2 coupe,
is powered by a 5.0 litre V10 engine (as used in the Lamborghini
Gallardo) mated to a 6 speed sequential gearbox driving
all four wheels.
The low domed roof line, prominent shoulders and minimal
styling details, coupled with the flared wheel arches
and distinctive large Audi grille, make the Audi Nuvolari
Quattro concept look solid and powerful even when stationary.
The headlights and taillights use LED (Light Emitting
Diode) technology. The rear lights have adaptive infrared
control which adjusts the intensity of the LED's to match
visibility and weather conditions.
The 'Nuvolari' name pays homage to one GP's finest drivers
of all time, the Italian Tazio Nuvolari. This is not the
first time Nuvolari has had a concept car named after
him, the 1996 Alfa Romeo
Nuvola was also dedicated to his memory. However,
unlike the Alfa Romeo concept, The Audi Nuvolari looks
certain to make production, as a 2007 model called the
Audi A5.
