Yes, heavy influence.

Default Yes, the new A6 looks a lot like the Nuvolari concept

IMO, an extrordinary thing! I love the Nuvolari. IMO, the Nuvolari is far superior to the Avantissimo (which has grown on me to a certain degree).

Nope. Not in front, rear, or side. They are saving the Nuvolari looks for the Nuvolari.

Default Yes I do. The tail espcially. A cross between Nuvolari and B6 Cab.

It makes the B6 A4 look chunky and stubby, while still retaining a lot of the A6 character. The flow of the Nuvolari is very evident IMHO.

The exterior of the new A6 in the coupe and convertible bodystyles will look identical to the Nuvolari. I am hoping (not speaking factually) that there is an RSR two seater coupe and roadster on the C6 platform whose exterior looks identical to the LeMans other than the grille bars and headlights. If there is an RSR two seater coupe and roadster, it would likely have a front (and longitudinal) engine layout and twin turbo 4.2L FSI V8 for cost and packaging reasons and for better fuel economy and much lower emissions.

LeMans is already set for production, there is no RSR. It'll share the Gallardo platform.

Default That is even better.

I am glad I stated that I am "not speaking factually" and used the word hope because I would have made a fool of myself. Since the LeMans is set for production on the Gallardo platform, hopefully (again, not speaking factually) the new RS6 will also be available in the coupe and convertible bodystyles (looking identical to the Nuvolari) in addition to the usual sedan and avant bodystyles, like all of the lesser versions of the new A6.
