Mat’s got his hands on the Audi Nuvolari!
He’s flown over to Spain, and he’s going to have a chance to walk around a pre-production model, take it out on the road, and push it to its limits on track!
The question is, with it being such a departure from Audi’s recent design language, is it really worth the eye-waveringly large price tag? It’s time to find out, starting with the design…
One thing’s for sure: there’s no denying the Audi Nuvolari stands out compared to any Audi released in the past several years! The entire bodywork is made of carbon fibre, and it really stands out on the road. Up top you’ll find two huge vents flanking the rectangular grille, all of which are made out of aluminium - there’s no plastic to be found here! There’s a huge vent in the bonnet to help with airflow, and around the side you’ll find side blades which are a nod to those found on the R8. Around the back you’ll find a huge carbon fibre diffuser, and when you look under the car you’ll note multiple different fins to help distribute airflow.
The interior of the car may have a simple layout, but it’s all incredibly well built. There’s almost no plastic to be found throughout the cabin, with leather, metal and Alcantara-like material found everywhere. There’s a large rectangular display on the centre console, and the steering wheel is covered to control a whole host of functions. Anyone looking for some storage may be out of luck, though - there are no door bins, and not even a cupholder! But then again, what would you expect in a supercar like this?
As for the performance, the Nuvolari is equipped with the same 4-litre twin-turbo V8 as found in the Lamborghini Temerario. This alone produces 800hp and 730Nm, which is sent to the rear wheels only. However, there are dual motors on the front axle, where these and the engine combine to produce 1,001hp! This makes it the most powerful Audi ever produced!
But of course, a car such as this doesn’t come cheap, costing £526,990! It’s limited to 499 units, with only 25 coming to the UK - and they’re all sold out! But do you think this is the greatest Audi ever produced? Let us know in the comments!
