Audi Nuvolari at Nardò.
Audi Revolut F1® Team drivers Gabriel Bortoleto and Nico Hülkenberg played an active role in the development of the Audi Nuvolari, contributing valuable feedback throughout the testing programme. Both drivers praised the car's precise handling, balanced performance and advanced hybrid powertrain, highlighting the close collaboration between Audi's engineering team and its Formula 1® drivers.

Gabriel Bortoleto
“Running the Audi Nuvolari at Nardò and working closely with the development team on the setup was a really great experience. What stands out immediately is how clean and predictable the car feels on turn-in. There’s basically no understeer, which is impressive given the level of performance. The balance stays very neutral and precise, giving you the confidence to carry speed through the corners. You can clearly feel how the different systems – especially the aerodynamics and torque distribution – work together as one. Overall, it’s a very complete package and a car that responds exactly the way you expect as a driver.”
Quote
Nico Hulkenberg
“The Audi Nuvolari looks really cool and unique. For me, what truly counts is the overall package – that is, how the car feels, how precisely it responds, and how well performance and drivability complement each other. The Nuvolari really has a lot to offer. It’s exciting to see just how much potential this car has, and the power of the high-performance hybrid powertrain – with over 1,000 PS – is truly impressive.”
Injecting Vorsprung to Audi Revolut F1® Team.
At the Audi site in Neuburg an der Donau, the F1® Audi Power Unit is taking shape. Since 2022, its development, testing, and optimization have been continuously driven forward on over 20 engine and component test benches there.
The race before
the race
On the engine test bench, the performance, efficiency, and integration of all components of the Audi F1® Power Unit are tested and optimized. As early as May 2024, the fully integrated power unit ran simulated race distances on the test bench.
Every micron
counts
On a coordinate measuring machine, a tactile measuring procedure is used to inspect the geometry of components like the crankshaft. The precision is in the micrometer range; this corresponds to dimensions many times smaller than the diameter of a human hair.
With forensic
precision
Mass spectrometry is a chemical 'detective tool'. It analyzes liquids down to the molecular level. This method allows for the precise verification, for example, of the fuel composition according to the strict FIA regulations for the upcoming Formula 1® season.
Detect the
unseen
The scanning electron microscope (SEM) enables the analysis of component surfaces and material structures. Magnification up to hundreds of thousands of times helps in the optimization of materials and identifies the smallest potential causes of failure.
Zero tolerance –
and beyond
On the injector test bench, the fuel injectors are analyzed and calibrated to optimize the engine's combustion efficiency, performance, and reliability. For the high-performance hybrid power units of the 2026 F1® season, details of fuel combustion are crucial.

1980 - The game changer
From 1981 onwards, quattro changed everything. With its permanent all-wheel drive, Audi left the competition behind in rallying. In total, it won two manufacturers' and two drivers' titles. And all-wheel drive became the standard – as it remains to this day.
1990 - Dominance on the circuit
quattro on asphalt? Of course. In 1988 and 1989, Audi dominated the American Trans-Am and IMSA GTO racing series. Then in 1990, with the V8 quattro, it won the DTM – debut season, overall victory. The following year, the title was defended. No other manufacturer had ever achieved this before.
2000 - Endurance victories
Audi achieved a total of 13 overall victories in the legendary 24 Hours of Le Mans. With the R18 e-tron quattro, Audi did pioneering work in 2012 in the electrification of motorsport. Right from its debut, the first success of a hybrid sports car at Le Mans was celebrated.
2020 - Successes in the desert
In 2022, the Audi RS Q e-tron made its debut in the desert – a low-CO₂ prototype with electric drive, high-voltage battery and energy converter. With its overall victory in the 2024 Dakar Rally, Audi also made motorsport history here.
2026 - Ready for the starting grid
Formula 1® is the next and arguably the biggest challenge. The entry reflects a mindset and provides the stage to once again demonstrate Vorsprung durch Technik on the racetrack. The countdown to the launch of the Audi Revolut F1® Team is on.
