Nuvolari: Audi’s new hybrid V8 supercar is the Concept C made real
Published: Today 19:05
► New Audi Nuvolari hypercar revealed
► Hybrid powertrain, Concept C looks
► Limited production run; launches 2027
Audi has made its jaw-dropping Concept C a reality: this is the Nuvolari.
The new supercar is a limited-run monster with extreme power and axial flux electric motors. The name ‘Nuvolari’ comes from Tazio Nuvolari, an Italian racing driver.
Yes, our first production car based off one of the most dramatic new concepts seen in years is not an EV. It is understood that the Nuvolari is based, to some degree, on the architecture and general shape of the Lamborghini Temerario – albeit with some significant modifications.
The look, happily, hasn’t changed much at all from the Concept besides some production car requirements; legal headlights, venting front and rear for that aggressive powertrain and a central exhaust high up the rear end. Almost all of the bodywork is made from carbonfibre, while the structure underneath is a spaceframe.
Inside, it’s the same story, with much of the Concept C’s crisp and deliberate details made into a real car. Door handles and the steering wheel are almost identical to that concept, although a portrait screen has been added to the centre console’ structure. It is still, however, very minimalist inside with plenty of properly tactile materials used.
The Nuvolari uses a 4.0-litre V8 engine and three axial flux electric motors (two at the front, one between the engine and transmission), developing a total of 987bhp. Audi says the Nuvolari is capable of a 2.6 second 0-62mph time, a 6.8sec 0-124mph time and top speed north of 217mph.
Active aero is applied to the Nuvolari, with air intakes up front that open up when required to create an S-duct-like effect. An active rear wing is also applied here, with low and high-downforce modes depending on driving requirement.
The Nuvolari also features carbon ceramic brakes as well as something Audi calls ‘quattro predictive ride’. This new system is effectively technology that analyses the driving style and the road to deliver the best balance of grip and ride control, using the axial flux motors as tools for torque vectoring.
Audi says just 499 Nuovlari models will be made, with the first ones arriving in the first few months of 2027.
