The 2028 Audi Nuvolari is an ultra-exclusive, 200-plus-mile-per-hour supercar that is set to change the landscape of the automotive world. Since the Audi R8 was discontinued after the 2023 model year, Audi has been quiet on the supercar front. However, that is about to change with the introduction of the Nuvolari, named after Tazio Nuvolari, the fearless Italian racing driver of the 1930s.
As with the R8, the new Nuvolari will borrow its underpinnings from Lamborghini, specifically the Temerario's all-wheel-drive plug-in hybrid V-8 powertrain. This powertrain is expected to produce up to 987 horsepower, making the Nuvolari a serious competitor in the supercar market. With Audi's recent entry into Formula 1, some technology from the pinnacle of motorsport may also be incorporated into the Nuvolari's DNA, including active aerodynamics, a carbon-fiber body structure, and an energy deployment system.

This is 80 more horsepower than the Lamborghini Temerario. The Nuvolari will also feature several Formula 1-inspired technologies, including an active front wing and rear splitter that automatically adjust to different conditions, altering downforce, drag, and aerodynamic balance in response to driving conditions.
The all-wheel-drive system will be extremely advanced, employing a new quattro predictive ride setup that uses sensors to proactively adjust torque delivery to each wheel for optimal grip. The brakes will be up to the task of keeping the Nuvolari's power in check, thanks to ten-piston calipers up front, four-piston calipers on the rear axle, and carbon brake disks derived directly from Formula 1.
