The new Audi RS 5 was also showcased at the Goodwood Circuit, while the Auto Union Lucca \u2013 a historic \"Rennlimousine\" (racing sedan) \u2013 made its dynamic debut, appearing in motion for the first time. Together, these highlights showcased the breadth of Audi's performance expertise, spanning both road and track.<\/strong>\r\n\r\nThe Goodwood Festival of Speed in West Sussex, southern England, once again proved to be a pivotal fixture on the international automotive and motorsports calendar. The highlight of Audi's presence came when racing legend Tom Kristensen drove the near-production prototype of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.audi-me.com\/en\/models\/nuvolari\/\">Audi Nuvolari<\/a> up the 1.86-kilometer Hillclimb on the grounds of Goodwood House, the estate of the Duke of Richmond.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=\"4927\" img_size=\"full\" alignment=\"center\"][vc_column_text el_class=\"article-copy\"]\u201cWhat impresses in the Nuvolari is the way all the systems work together - from the new quattro drivetrain and vehicle dynamics to aerodynamics and the braking system. Technologies such as the high-performance hybrid powertrain, active aerodynamics, and energy management are inspired by motorsports and have been consistently refined for road use,\u201d says Kristensen, a nine-time Le Mans winner.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.audi-me.com\/en\/models\/nuvolari\/\">The Nuvolari<\/a> is the fastest and most powerful production vehicle in the brand\u2019s history - and the first to follow Audi\u2019s new design philosophy. Just a few days ago, the supercar caused a stir when it made its UK debut in London. Deliveries of the vehicle, limited to 499 units, will begin in the first half of 2027.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=\"4928\" img_size=\"full\" alignment=\"center\"][vc_column_text el_class=\"article-copy\"]<strong>Historic icons: the Auto Union Lucca makes its first public appearance in motion<\/strong>\r\n\r\nAudi Tradition also showcased a number of legendary race cars from AUDI AG\u2019s historic collection at Goodwood, including models from the Le Mans and rally eras, as well as the Auto Union Type C and Type D Grand Prix cars.\r\n\r\nBy presenting the Auto Union Lucca in public for the first time in motion at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, Audi paid tribute to a pivotal chapter in motorsports history centered on the record-breaking drives of the 1930s.
