Just up the road from me, past Midway Truckstop at Whitchurch (about a mile from where the canal burst its banks before Christmas).

Many years ago Dave Bickers built a CB1100 trike for the Weston beach race - was uncatchable (on the straights) :giggle: ... handling was a 'little dubious' though

" it’s a head-turning, 217-mph, 1,001-bhp, hybrid supercar called the Nuvolari." ..... but .... " it came from: Lamborghini. Audi has tuned up, teched up and rebodied its sister brand’s Temerario. Audi has previous form celebrating its ownership of the Italian sporting specialist, with shared platforms of the Lamborghini Urus and Audi RS Q8, and the Lamborghini Huracán and the Audi R8."

" the same mid-mounted 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 and trio of electric motors. But just to show who’s boss, Audi has tuned it for a little more power. The 1,001-bhp total comes at an extreme 10,000 rpm. The Germans claim it hits 62 mph (100 km/h) in just 2.6 seconds, 0-125 mph (200 km/h) in 6.8 seconds and has a 217 mph (350 km/h) max (4 mph more than the Lambo). The Nuvolari’s battery has higher capacity at 7.3 kWh gross (Temerario has 3.8 kWh), and gets a higher rate of topping up from brake regeneration. "

" The big new tech that Audi adds ...... what it calls Quattro Predictive Ride (QPR). This is state-of-the-art F1 traction control that uses torque vectoring across all the wheels via precise control of the electric motors and minute application of electronic braking. Together they are constantly and instantly adapting to a mathematical model of grip for the conditions in real-time. ...... Audi plans 499 units, all left-hand-drive and costing over half a million GBP each. "

Now I'm an absolute Volkswagen AG fanboy, love most of the stuff they produce, but someone in the design dept wants his etch-a-sketch privileges removing. it's a supercar, it's meant to be either soft and flowing or aggressive and shouty, this somehow missies the mark in both directions. it just looks... meh, it'll do!
