AUDI DEBUTS THE NUVOLARI IN MONACO
words by FELICITY CARTER
Audi has unveiled the Nuvolari, a limited-production hybrid supercar and the most powerful road car in the brand's history. Revealed ahead of the Monaco Grand Prix, the model offers a new design direction for the marque while drawing on technology developed through its Formula 1 ambitions. Limited to 499 examples worldwide, the launch arrives alongside Audi's new hospitality unit in Monaco.
As Audi F1 drivers Nico Hülkenberg and Gabriel Bortoleto prepare to take on the famously tight corners of Monaco this weekend, the German marque has chosen motorsport's most glamorous stage to unveil the Nuvolari, a limited-production hybrid supercar.
Limited to only 499 examples worldwide, the Nuvolari is Audi's fastest and most powerful road car to date. And not only that, the model represents something bigger -- it's a statement of intent from a brand that is now competing in F1, incorporating elements of its motorsport programme into a new gen of road cars.
Named after legendary Italian racing driver Tazio Nuvolari, the supercar is the first production model to showcase Audi's evolving design language. Expect sculptural surfaces, a dramatic mid-engine silhouette and extensive use of carbon fiber, as the Nuvolari combines elite technical precision with a super futuristic presence. The launch specification arrives in Titanium, a new signature shade shared with Audi's F1 programme.
Unveiled in Monaco as F1 descends on the principality for one of the season's most anticipated and glitzy weekends, the Nuvolari reflects Audi's growing presence on and off the track. While the supercar incorporates technologies inspired by the brand's racing programme, its arrival is accompanied by the launch of a new hospitality unit in Monaco, creating a space where performance, design and contemporary luxury converge during Grand Prix weekend.
Back to the Nuvolari, it's expected to carry a price tag of around $700,000, so it firmly its within collector territory, and deliveries are scheduled to begin in 2027, with fewer than 500 examples destined for roads globally.
