Audi reveals its hybrid Nuvolari supercar as a replacement for the R8.

Audi positions the Nuvolari as a hybrid halo that serves as a replacement for the R8, reflecting the brand's performance ambitions. The limited run comprises 499 units, with deliveries planned for the first half of 2027. Power combines a mid-mounted 800 hp V8 turbo with three electric motors capable of up to 110 kW each, delivering a claimed top speed of 350 km/h and 0-100 km/h in 2.6 seconds. The drivetrain architecture emphasizes torque coordination between the combustion engine and electric machines to enhance acceleration and handling. Detailed chassis specs and weight figures were not disclosed in the release, but the model underscores Audi’s push toward electrified performance across its halo lineup as it moves beyond its R8 legacy.
