Just looks like another car with styling cues from the TT.... Audi should really try something new in the sports department...

Audi's have always been beutiful in thier stunning simplicity, yet this new concept adds a big touch of aggressive style.

Thanks for giving us the link! I liked it!

The front end isn't as sweetly styled as the RX-8 - (the "Nuvolari" looks alittle heavy) but I like the rear light treatment!

What got me was that it had a functional rear trunk ... (I'm still not so thrilled about 2 golf bags)

I copied this from their press release

Luggage travels first class, too

One of the main characteristics of a Gran Turismo is that it is ideal for long-distance travel, which is why the Nuvolari quattro’s luggage compartment has a volume of 350 litres – enough even for larger suitcases and travel bags.
I'm lucky it's not a fastback...

Yeah, I have to agree, it just looks like a big TT. Yawn.

The best car at Geneva by far IMHO was the Ferrari 360 Modena Challange Stradale. Under 2600lbs and 400hp -- now THAT is car! :D

I agree. Nuvolari was one of greatest drivers in the world.
