Overview
- Audi revealed the Nuvolari in early June during Monaco Formula 1 events as a near‑production prototype capped at 499 examples with first customer deliveries scheduled for the first half of 2027.
- The car pairs a mid‑mounted 4.0‑litre twin‑turbo V8 with three axial‑flux electric motors and a 7.3 kWh battery to produce about 987–1,001 hp and accelerate to 62 mph in roughly 2.6 seconds.
- Nuvolari uses largely hand‑built carbon‑fibre bodywork, F1‑style active aerodynamics including a three‑position deployable rear wing with a DRS button, and an aluminium‑frame/chassis architecture shared with Lamborghini’s Temerario.
- Prototypes have already been sighted testing at the Nürburgring and early interest is strong in some markets with a small initial UK allocation reported and several buyers expressing interest.
- Internal comments that the model may barely break even prompted an official Audi statement asserting overall profitability, highlighting a deliberate trade‑off between using the run as a brand‑shaping halo and direct profit from the car itself.
