Powertrain Analysis
The Nuvolari uses a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 paired with three axial-flux electric motors. The internal-combustion engine is credited with 789 hp and a 10,000-rpm redline, and total system output rises to 987 hp.
Audi’s description identifies the hardware as a hybrid supercar layout with the Lamborghini Temerario’s V8 as the base engine. The electric side includes a 7.3 kW gross battery and a fully electric drive mode.
Performance claims include 2.6 seconds from 0-62 mph and 6.8 seconds from 0-124 mph. Audi also states a top speed of more than 217 mph.
Chassis & Dynamics
The bodywork is carbon fiber, and Audi states this is a first for the brand. The forged aluminum wheels use a center-lock design, also identified as an Audi first.
Audi lists an S-duct at the front and an active rear wing. These elements contribute to 882 lb of maximum downforce. The aero system is integrated with traction control, stability control, suspension, and engine management under the quattro predictive ride system.
The braking system uses Ceramic Pro brakes. Audi compares their deceleration capability to a current Formula 1 car.
Dimensions & Practicality
The source describes the Nuvolari as street legal and track-focused, but it gives no cargo-volume or seating-capacity figures. The rearview mirror is a video unit, and the car has no rear window.
Track-oriented equipment includes Bridgestone Potenza Race tires in 255/35R20 front and 325/30R21 rear sizing. The car also offers balanced, dynamic, dynamic plus, and track drive modes.
Track mode includes wet, dry, race, and traction-control-off settings. The vehicle is limited to 499 units and uses a production schedule beginning early next year.
