This Is Not a Drone Story: Audi Nuvolari Supercar Spotted Testing at Nürburgring with 987 HP Hybrid Powertrain
This article is about the Audi Nuvolari supercar, not a drone-related topic. The Nuvolari features a mid-mounted 4.0L twin-turbo V8 with three electric motors producing 987 HP, achieving 0-100 km/h in 2.6 seconds with a top speed exceeding 350 km/h. Deliveries are expected in the first half of 2027.
Highlights
- The Audi Nuvolari supercar has been spotted testing at the Nürburgring in camouflaged near-production prototype form.
- Its plug-in hybrid powertrain combines a mid-mounted 4.0L twin-turbo V8, 7.3 kWh battery, and three axial-flux electric motors for 987 HP total output.
- The Nuvolari accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.6 seconds with a top speed exceeding 350 km/h.
- A three-position active rear wing generates over 400 kg of downforce and serves as an air brake.
- Deliveries are scheduled to begin in the first half of 2027, with no concept car phase preceding production.

The Audi Nuvolari seemingly appeared out of nowhere — the brand skipped the usual pre-launch teasers and spy photo leaks, instead opting for a direct official reveal with an announcement that deliveries would begin in the first half of 2027.
Spotted Testing at the Nürburgring
The all-new supercar has now been seen testing on the Nürburgring circuit. The vehicle wears a special camouflage livery, with a cover fitted over the grille area to conceal the Audi emblem.
Reportedly, the car debuted earlier this month as a near-production prototype, bypassing the concept car stage entirely. As a result, no major design changes are expected from the final production version. That said, several components on the test car appear to be temporary stand-in parts.
Powertrain Specs: 987 HP Plug-In Hybrid
Although the camouflage hides most exterior details, the Nuvolari is confirmed to feature a high-performance plug-in hybrid powertrain comprising a mid-mounted 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine, a 7.3 kWh lithium-ion battery pack, and three axial-flux electric motors. The car offers five driving modes and is equipped with an intelligent predictive quattro all-wheel-drive system.
The combined powertrain output reaches 987 HP (736 kW / 1,001 PS), surpassing the Lamborghini Temerario. The car accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.6 seconds and achieves a top speed exceeding 350 km/h.
Aerodynamics and Braking Highlights
Notable features include a three-position adjustable active rear wing that doubles as an air brake, generating over 400 kg of downforce. The braking system uses ceramic composite brakes with 420 mm front discs paired with ten-piston calipers.
Interior Design
The interior adopts a minimalist design approach, accented with anodized aluminum trim. The center console houses a substantial multimedia infotainment display. The cabin also features lightweight sport seats, push-button gear selection, and a flat-bottom steering wheel backed by a fully digital instrument cluster.
