The Audi Nuvolari marks the resounding return of the brand with the rings to the world of supercars with cutting-edge hybrid technology.
Three years after the disappearance of the R8, many thought Audi had definitively turned the page on supercars. That was without counting on the Nuvolari. Unveiled on June 4, 2026, this new extreme sports car opens a new chapter in the history of the German manufacturer. More powerful, more exclusive, and more ambitious than any Audi road car that preceded it, it instantly becomes the new flagship of the brand.
We expected Avus, but the choice of its name is ultimately not trivial. Audi pays tribute to Tazio Nuvolari, one of the greatest drivers in history, who notably shone behind the wheel of Auto Union cars in the 1930s. A prestigious legacy for a model that aims to place Audi back at the top of the hierarchy of sports cars.
The Audi and Lamborghini Cousins
Under its spectacular carbon body hides a close kinship with the Lamborghini Temerario. The two models indeed share the same technical architecture as well as the 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 paired with a next-generation hybrid powertrain. However, Audi has developed its own settings to give the Nuvolari a distinct personality, more focused on high-speed efficiency and versatility.
The technical specifications are impressive. Thanks to the combination of the V8 and three electric motors, the total power reaches 1,001 hp. Audi announces a 0 to 100 km/h time of just 2.6 seconds and a top speed exceeding 350 km/h. These figures place the Nuvolari among the most high-performing supercars on the planet.
But the Audi Nuvolari is not just about its power. It also introduces the new stylistic language of the brand and foreshadows the evolution of Audi’s design for the years to come. Produced in just 499 units, it targets a clientele of collectors and enthusiasts in search of exclusivity.
