Things we can learn from the video
Press to jump
- 0:52Watson argues the angular styling works better in person, highlighting functional carbon fibre bodywork and aluminium vents.
- 4:20The cabin has solid metal controls but little storage, with neither door bins nor a cupholder.
- 9:13A twin-turbo V8 and three electric motors supply the hybrid drivetrain.
- 17:39A spoiler deployment fault triggers safe mode during Victor's passenger lap with Watson.
- 22:44Watson praises the brakes and chassis balance, while noting throttle delay and an industrial engine sound.
- 29:46The earlier glitches are traced to the demonstrator remote being left in exhibition show mode.
The styling starts conversations. Beneath carwow's Audi Nuvolari review, viewers are reaching for retro concept cars, Minecraft blocks and household appliances to describe its unusually angular bodywork. Others have more practical priorities: the metal grilles, the steering-wheel wiper controls and a seat belt that isn't lying flat.
The Spanish outing has reached roughly 2.4 million views, making it the week's most-watched new upload. Mat Watson argues that the prototype makes a stronger impression in person, where its carbon fibre bodywork and functional aluminium vents are easier to appreciate. Inside, the solid metal controls get his approval, though anyone bringing a drink will have to reckon with the absence of cupholders.
There is proper prototype troubleshooting, too. Track runs bring spoiler faults and reduced power, eventually traced to the demonstrator being left in exhibition show mode. Watson's driving verdict separates its tremendous road presence and straight-line performance from the sharper track focus of a Porsche 911 GT3.
Elsewhere, the week's V8 choices could hardly be more different: a stripped-out, Chevrolet-engined BMW E30 takes on a stock M2, while the hybrid Corvette ZR1X lines up beside a Ferrari SF90. The latter is drawing the most views per day right now. An older Porsche 911 Carrera-Cybertruck pairing also remains busy.
Subscribers held steady over the week, despite growth over the past month, and daily views are currently well below carwow's usual level. That quieter daily picture is shared by ChrisFix and Top Gear; Westen Champlin is enjoying a livelier spell. For carwow, the range remains distinctive: exotic hybrid engineering at one end, Volvo-brake jokes and a surprisingly quick Nissan Micra at the other.

Mat noticing the guy activating the wipers with the palm is nice attention and that's one of the things that makes him an actual car reviewer.
