Audi will deliver 182 of its 499-unit Nuvolari production run to the U.S., representing 36.5% of total output. The 2027 model starts at $700,000 before destination and taxes, with U.S. deliveries scheduled for the first half of 2028.
The Nuvolari shares its powertrain with the Lamborghini Temerario, pairing a twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 with three axial-flux hybrid electric motors for 987 horsepower combined. It accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in 2.5 seconds and reaches 217 mph top speed.
Audi says the Nuvolari incorporates Formula 1-derived technology in its hybrid energy management system, by-wire brakes, active aero, and launch control programming. The car offers 50 gloss paint colors and over 10 matte finishes through standard options, plus customization through Audi Exclusive. Buyers can specify an exposed carbon-fiber body, a first for Audi.
Audi of America reports that build slots remain available and "orders continue to be accepted at authorized Audi dealerships throughout the United States for a limited time."
