Audi Nuvolari First Drive: Utterly Involving

Audi’s new Nuvolari arrives as a supercar that aims to be brutally quick without being isolating. Driving it at Spain’s Circuito Permanente del Jarama, Audi performance manager Victor Underberg runs through five selectable modes—Hybrid, Balanced, Dynamic, Dynamic Plus, and Track—saying fine-tuning the chassis balance requires Track mode and a second steering-wheel knob. The headline stakes are the numbers: it’s a 1,001-horsepower machine with a base price of €607,000, and all 499 examples have already been spoken for. The first-drive experience is framed as involving and accessible, with comfort alongside sharp handling.
