Overview
- Audi unveiled the Nuvolari, which debuted Thursday during Monaco‑area Formula 1 events, and confirmed a mid‑engined 4.0‑litre twin‑turbo V8 paired with three axial‑flux electric motors producing about 1,001 bhp.
- Audi quotes a 7.3 kWh battery, roughly 2.6 seconds for 0–100 km/h, 6.8 seconds to 200 km/h and a top speed above 350 km/h, with the V8 alone tuned to around 800 bhp and a 10,000 rpm redline.
- The Nuvolari uses Lamborghini‑derived Temerario hardware and an Audi Space Frame with almost all exterior panels in carbon‑fibre, and introduces a new ‘quattro predictive ride’ system that uses fast sensor data to shift torque and adjust active aero for improved traction and cornering.
- Production is capped at 499 units, deliveries are scheduled to begin in the first half of 2027, and initial European price estimates center near €590,000–€600,000 while final regional pricing remains unconfirmed.
- As a limited halo car, the Nuvolari signals Audi’s strategy of transferring F1‑informed materials and control systems to road models and will likely land with collectors and enthusiast buyers rather than broad volume demand.
