Audi’s 987-HP Nuvolari Plug-in Hybrid Supercar Tears Up the Track

Audi has released a video showcasing the Nuvolari, a plug-in hybrid supercar, being tested at the Nardò proving ground in Italy.

The Nuvolari boasts a 987 HP powertrain, consisting of a twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 engine, a 7.3 kWh lithium-ion battery pack, and three axial flux motors.

This enables the car to accelerate from 0-62 mph in 2.6 seconds and reach a top speed of over 217 mph.

The supercar features an active rear wing with three positions, which can generate over 882 lbs of downforce and functions as an air brake. Audi will produce only 499 units of the Nuvolari, with a potential Spyder variant to follow.

The company will begin accepting European orders in the fourth quarter, ahead of deliveries in the first half of 2027.

Although pricing has not been officially announced, the Nuvolari is rumored to cost around $500,000 in the United States.

The Nuvolari’s development time showcases Audi’s determination to move faster in development, decision-making, and innovation while maintaining technical excellence.
