2003 Audi Nuvolari Concept

I prefer that one over the $100K, R8.
Who will buy an 420hp Audi for $100K? Doesnt make sense to me. I think this coupe should've came out instead, it would've made a nice Bentley GT competitor.

Technical Data:
V10-biturbo-engine, 5,0-litre, 600hp
governed maximum-speed: 250km/h
(155mph Limited)

I think your crazy

The R8 is way hotter and worth the money. The R8 protoypte-"Le Mans quattro" had th same V10 Biturbo engine though

Why would VAG make a car to compete against the Conti GT if they own Bentley?

And who would buy a 420 hp Audi? A lot of people would. They will have absolutely no problem selling every single car that they make.

Look at all the people buying 355 hp 911's that are optioned up into the 90-110k range. Even regular Carrera's with 320 hp would start to get near that and the R8 would spank them silly on the track. What about the people paying a premium for 390 hp 360 modenas?

When people begin to look past the hp rating, they will see what a brilliant concept this is and applaud Audi for bringing it to the marketplace. For enthusiasts, a greater choice is always going to benefit us. An AWD, mostly aluminum, great-looking car with a high-revving powerful V-8 makes a lot of sense to me. Especially coming from one of the most dominant forces in motorsport in recent years (hmm, what happened to Porsche??).

I could see that Going head to head with the BMW-M6 and M-BENZ CL63. I could be a more afforable (LOL) Bentley GT,lol. Pricing ,i'd say $110,000 fully loaded lol. Different headlights and some changes here and there to give a it more GT look and its done. That V10 hmmm, i wonder if they well be offering tht in one of there other,must be the V10 in the Gallardo and S8,just tuned to 600bhp.

VW's ownership of all those companies doesnt have anything to do with what they put out. What makes you say that Bentley fans would buy and Audi or Vice Versa? This one's engine is different, its a V10 Turbo as opposed to Bentleys V12 Turbo, and because Audi has more tuners than Bentley, im sure the tuners would've been quickly developping parts for it to make it faster.

About the Carrera comment, it never made sense to me either why people did that, but oh well.
Ferraris ownership = Privilege.

Exactly, M6 competitor since Audi is trying to go neck to neck with BMW.
R8 is competing against what BMW? Perfect CL63, CL65 competitor too.
