Audi’s return to the supercar arena is getting closer, and Europe will be among the first markets to receive its new flagship. The Audi Nuvolari will be limited to just 499 examples worldwide, with the first customer deliveries scheduled for the first half of 2027.
While the recently announced US price starts at $700,000, Audi has yet to confirm European pricing. The American figure should therefore not be treated as an official euro price.
The Nuvolari combines a 4.0 litre twin turbo V8 producing 800 hp with three electric motors, delivering a total system output of 736 kW, or 1,001 PS. Power is sent to all four wheels through Audi’s advanced quattro system.
The performance figures are suitably extreme. Audi claims 0-100 km/h in just 2.6 seconds, 0-200 km/h in 6.8 seconds and a top speed exceeding 350 km/h. That makes it the most powerful and fastest production car in the company’s history.
The car also introduces a new design direction for Audi, combining a mid-engine layout with active aerodynamics, a carbon fibre exterior and an innovative Audi Space Frame. Its hybrid system and predictive quattro technology are among the features Audi says draw inspiration from Formula 1.
European order books are scheduled to open in the fourth quarter of 2026, ahead of deliveries in the first half of 2027.
Named after legendary Italian racing driver Tazio Nuvolari, the new model is more than a successor in spirit to the R8. It is Audi’s attempt to establish a new benchmark at the very top of the performance car market.
