My eyes! Why create something so similar to the R8 but make it look so wrong? I dig the 544 horsepower diesel engine, AWD and 4-wheel steering, but couldn’t Italdesign use something else than the equally unappealing Giugiaro Parcour Concept as inspiration? What really turns me off is the car’s stance. At VAG night (VW’s big party before the show), the Nanuk looked pigeon-toed because of the rear wheels’ angle and decompressed suspension.
