Path-breaking Gran TurismoAt the 2003 Geneva Motor Show, Audi showed its second study of 2003: the Nuvolari quattro. A powerful Gran Turismo, path-breaking with its design and technology. Audi is paying tribute with the study’s name to Tazio Nuvolari, who as a racing driver succeeded and wrote history with cars bearing the logo of the four rings. | |
The concept
The vision of a Gran Turismo: powerful, elegant and pioneering. In short: a GT from Audi that displays the design and technology of tomorrow. | |
| Styling
Characteristics: the gently curved roof, the long engine cover and the rising shoulder line of the body accentuated with short overhangs at front and rear. | |
|
V10 twin turbo
The 10-cylinder-FSI engine has an output of 441 kW (600 bhp). A 6-speed automatic gearbox and quattro drive transfer this to the road surface. | |
| Construction
The aluminium body is based on the Audi Space Frame (ASF), thus uniting minimum weight with maximum stability and provides ultimate ride comfort. | |
|
Electronics
The items of electronic equipment deserving special mention are the Audi MMI, radar-assisted distance control and electronically controlled air suspension. | |
| Interior design
Leather and aluminium define the interior. The driver's field of vision is dominated by two large round instruments. Gears are changed by shift paddles.
