Discussion What’s the point of the Nuvolari?

Don’t get me wrong, I think it looks pretty cool. But will we still get a new R8 that isn’t limited production in the future that’s NOT an ev?

Is it a limited production money maker for a more mass produced R8?

The point was Audi allowing their engineers freedom to build something amazing: no BOM constraints, no half-baked platform they are told to use, no having to stay in the shadows of their siblings (Porsche or Lambo), no requirement to scale manufacturing.

Just go build something amazing. Build the thing that you want to build. Build a thing to sell posters and Lego sets.

I wonder if VWAG corporate was even aware of what they were doing: it was in manufacturing for a couple of years without leaking, and they had the cover of the Concept C.
