Are you blind?

Let's wait and see for the final car, and then we'll see who's BLIND.

But otherwise his CGI is 99.9% correct.

I will email Wintekorn to change the design of the car in order to look like Huck's crappy impression.

you are awared that Huck. nailed the C-class. He showed us his version one year ago before the C-class went officiall. He was 99% accurate. Same thing might happen with a5.

The rear lights of the E92 look a lot more similar to IS250 than this IMO.

Might is better to use than will.

Having seen the car in Cape Town you really need to get over the fact that you are getting the "Nuvolari" Concept because your not!
If anything when the Nuvolari was unveiled in 2003 it previewed the A6 or maybe the forthcoming TT. But Audi have dumped this philosophy for the A5 and took a new direction . Personally I do not think a larger TT shape would have worked.

 

[Yperion]

Nuvolari was a 2003 concept , the A5 is a 2007 car, it would be stupid for Audi to make the A5 look like a 4 year old concept. Plus the Nuvolari was based on A8's space frame so it was between A6 and A8 in size and not between A4 and A6 like the A5.

but the Nuvolari still looks good despite its age

The A5 will look better.

Audi fans in denial!

So you've seen the real thing??? Scott, what did you think of the A5 when you saw it???

 

[EnI]

Yep, just like Huckfeldt's CGI (except headlight shape maybe).

It's not the problem Novulari concept is 4 years old (eg. 2003 E63 6er was based on 1999 Z9 Gran Turismo concept, upcoming 2er cabrio is based on 2001 CS1 concept, X6 (& even more X4) are based on xCoupe). The fact is Novulari design details have already been used on other Audi models: the shoulder line, side character lines, the headlights, the rearlights ...

It would be kind a cheap to come with a completely new model (A5) featuring all important design details from existing Audi models.

Notice the LED taillights in the last picture.

Yannis, welcome to the post #128.



Bed time. I guess you must be tired already.

Yannis, welcome to the post #128.

Sorry i missed that page when i was reading this thread.

Meh!

Only Joking ! It looked like Huckfeldts image but the wheels were smaller the swoopy shoulder line is actually from the R8 but since they were photographing it some areas were covered to prevent shadows so I didn't get to see the whole thing uncovered. I seen the interior which is a mix of TT and A6 with an angled dash towards the driver. And there is a flat bottomned steering wheel.

George from Fourtitude will most definitely give the heads up right before offical pics are to be released.
