Overview
- Audi unveiled the Nuvolari during early June’s Monaco Formula 1 events, confirming a mid‑engined 4.0‑litre twin‑turbo V8 paired with three axial‑flux electric motors for a combined output of roughly 1,001 PS.
- The car uses a small high‑power battery of about 7.3 kWh and offers an E‑Hybrid mode for short electric driving and aggressive regenerative strategies focused on performance rather than range.
- Audi says the Nuvolari features F1‑inspired systems including a deployable rear wing with DRS, brake‑by‑wire, and a new ‘quattro predictive ride’ torque‑vectoring system to manage traction and handling.
- Production is capped at 499 units with deliveries slated to begin in the first half of 2027, and Audi has not published final market prices despite media estimates circulating.
- The Nuvolari combines an aluminium Audi Space Frame with extensive CFRP bodywork made using autoclave carbon processes and draws on Lamborghini’s Temerario hardware, signaling Audi’s push to reassert its performance image after the R8 era.
