The Audi Nuvolari*

Audi presents its first supercar with a high-performance hybrid powertrain.

With the Nuvolari*, Audi is unveiling its first supercar with a high-performance hybrid powertrain - further accelerating technological progress. With 1,001 PS and a top speed of more than 350 km/h, the Nuvolari* is set to become the most powerful vehicle and the fastest production vehicle in the history of the four rings. Deliveries of the supercar, limited to 499 units, will begin in the first half of 2027.

The Audi Nuvolari* accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.6 seconds¹ and reaches 200 km/h in 6.8 seconds¹. This exceptional performance is made possible by a range of innovations inspired by Formula 1, including the advanced high-performance hybrid powertrain, quattro predictive ride, active aerodynamics, and the new Audi Space Frame (ASF) with a carbon-fiber exterior.

Statements of our drivers.

“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.”

Nico Hulkenberg

“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.”

“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."

Gabriel Bortoleto

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."

Gabriel Bortoleto

"Overall, it’s a very complete package and a car that responds exactly the way you expect as a driver.”

Highlights of the Audi Nuvolari*

Design at its
most visceral

As the first production vehicle that follows Audi’s new design philosophy, the Nuvolari* will combine the high-performance character of a supercar with a distinctive design.

Hybrid powertrain with
four drive units

The Audi Nuvolari* combines a 4.0-liter V8 biturbo engine delivering 588 kW (800 hp) with three axial flux electric motors, each producing 110 kW. The lithium-ion battery has a gross capacity of 7.3 kWh.

The quattro
predictive ride

The quattro drive defines traction, control and driving dynamics, evolving in the Nuvolari* into the next generation with quattro predictive ride.

Active aerodynamics
inspired by Formula 1

Audi uses active aerodynamics in the Nuvolari* to purposefully combine performance and efficiency.

Audi space frame with
carbon exterior

The vehicle architecture of the Audi Nuvolari* is consistently designed for lightweight construction and high torsional rigidity.

Dynamic energy
management

The energy management system of the Audi Nuvolari* is also inspired by motorsport. Boost and recuperation strategies are closely linked to torque distribution.

High-performance
braking system

The Audi Nuvolari* braking system delivers maximum performance under extreme conditions through the precise interaction of hydraulic braking and electric deceleration.

Interior and UI/UX

The interior of the Audi Nuvolari* is fully focused on the act of driving.

Tazio Nuvolari

The Audi Nuvolari* embodies uncompromising performance and absolute focus. The pre-production prototype unveiled was developed in an exceptionally short timeframe through close international collaboration. The vehicle is named after Tazio Nuvolari, one of the most celebrated figures in motorsport history. Renowned for his fearlessness, ingenuity, unwavering determination, and relentless pursuit of victory, the Italian racing legend remains an enduring symbol of performance and innovation.
