Volkswagen really has become a giant among car companies. Last night, they took to the stage to show not only Porsche, Bentleys and Bugattis, but also a Ducati here and there. They also own Giugiaro as of recently, which would explain why this concept looks exactly like the Giugiaro one-off called the Parcour.
The Audi version of the Parcour is just as crazy, a mix between a crossover and a supercar with exaggerated design elements.

Unlike the Giugiaro, which has a Lambo V10, the Nanuk has a 5-liter V10 TDI with a similarly impressive 544 PS and 1,000 Nm of torque. Taking the brunt of this AMG-like torque is a revised seven-speed S tronic gearbox routes. Even more Audi engineering whichcraft was used for the body, which is made using Audi's Space Frame technology, a blend of aluminum and fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) for the body.

Despite weighing 1,900 kg, it still shifts itself to the first 100 km/h in 3.8 seconds on its way to a top speed of 305 km/h (190 mph).

This R8 on stilts has quattro all-wheel drive and even all-wheel steering like the new 911 Turbo.

So tell us what you think: Awesome, put it into production or kill it with fire?

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
