Audi Unveils First Supercar with High-Performance Hybrid Powertrain Audi has introduced its first supercar, the Nuvolari, which is set to become the fastest and most powerful production vehicle in the brand’s history. The vehicle features a high-performance hybrid powertrain, delivering 1,001 PS (736 kW) and a top speed exceeding 350 km/h. Deliveries of the limited-edition model, capped at 499 units, will commence in the first half of 2027. The Nuvolari accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.6 seconds and reaches 200 km/h in 6.8 seconds, thanks to a combination of Formula 1-inspired technologies and advanced engineering. Audi CEO Gernot Döllner emphasized the project’s significance, stating, “With the Audi Nuvolari, we are accelerating technological progress, focusing on technology, performance, and execution through teamwork.” CTO Rouven Mohr highlighted the role of Formula 1 in driving innovation, noting, “Formula 1 is a key impulse to bring innovations to the road quickly and with precision.” The Nuvolari’s hybrid powertrain integrates a 4.0-liter V8 biturbo engine producing 588 kW (800 hp) with three axial flux electric motors, each generating 110 kW. The lithium-ion battery has a gross capacity of 7.3 kWh, supporting the vehicle’s extreme performance. The Nuvolari’s design reflects Audi’s new philosophy, blending supercar performance with a distinctive aesthetic. Its mid-engine layout creates a monolithic, powerful stance, while the exterior features a signature Titanium color, inspired by the Audi Concept C and Formula 1 race cars. Carbon fiber elements enhance both visual appeal and structural integrity, with the carbon exterior forming the basis of the Audi Space Frame (ASF).#formula_1 #audi #nuvolari #gernot_dollner #rouven_mohr
