Audi Nanuk concept car revealed The Audi Nanuk concept car that was revealed on the eve of the Frankfurt motor show hints at what the next R8 will look like, according to Audi sources. The Nanuk blends elements of supercar and SUV and is an evolution of the Parcour concept car unveiled by VW Group-owned Italdesign Guigiaro at the 2013 Geneva motor show. The Nanuk (an Inuit word for polar bear) has a similar shape to the Parcour, but shares no parts with it. Power comes from a mid-mounted 5.0-litre V10 diesel engine that develops about 540bhp. Audi quotes a 0-62mph time of 3.8sec. Drive is to all four wheels via a twin-clutch transmission, and adjustable air suspension allows for a wide variation in ride height. Wolfgang Egger, Audi head of design, told us the Nanuk previews design themes that will be seen on the next generation of Audis - as well as a more three-dimensional "single-frame" front grille, there's a more sculptural look overall. Although a production version of the Nanuk is unlikely, Egger hinted that it could influence the design of Audi's performance models, in particular the second-generation R8.
