geneva news

[David Eaton]

audi has released the nuvolari concept at the geneva show.

this is a cope gt, with bi-turbo v10 (ex lamborghini) complete with 600hp and
750nm torque (available at 2,000rpm)!

the front is the da silva's new audi "family face", and it does grow on you,
although it is a little heavy in its current guise.  overall it works well,
although the rear is disappointing to my eye, too much subaru.  overall the
gt is build on an a8 space frame, shortened.  the suspension is the air-setup
from the a8.  clearly a shot across bmw's bows with the upcoming 6-series coupe.
time to market??

0-100 in 4.1sec.

i see also that m-b has announced it's high-speed coupe, the cl 65, complete
with a bi-turbo v12, and 612hp with 1,000nm torque (!)

when will this power race between the german manufacturers stop?
