Forget Bringing Back the R8, Audi's New 987-HP V-8-Powered Supercar Is Cooler and Rarer
If you’ve mourned the 2023-discontinued Audi R8, listen up: Audi’s unveiled the Nuvolari, a bold hybrid supercar named after legendary racer Tazio Nuvolari. It delivers 987 total hp (789 from a Lamborghini-sourced 4.0L twin-turbo V-8 plus 3 electric motors), hitting 0-62 mph in 2.6s, 0-124 mph in 6.8s, and top speed over 217 mph. More powerful than its Lamborghini cousin, only 499 units will be built early next year, priced from $686,613. Spots remain—though that may shift after its Monaco F1 track lap this weekend. It also has Audi firsts like a full carbon fiber body. Would you reserve one, or hold out for an R8 comeback?
