Audi of America today announced that the Audi Nuvolari will make its U.S. debut on the Monterey Peninsula during Monterey Car Week.* For the first time in the U.S. visitors will have the opportunity to see the limited-production plug-in hybrid supercar in person at both The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering and the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance. Additional private events and appointments will be hosted with interested buyers and collectors throughout the weekend.
“Once a year, the Monterey Peninsula becomes the pinnacle backdrop for premium and exclusive mobility, which makes it the ideal place to introduce our halo performance model to North America and share our excitement with customers, collectors, and enthusiasts,” said Audi of America President, Vito Paladino. “The Nuvolari is more than an extraordinary supercar; it is a defining moment for Audi, built on substance. Substance that delivers on what has always shaped Audi to be an iconic brand – performance, design, and innovation.”

Limited to 499 units globally and powered by Audi’s first high-performance plug-in hybrid supercar powertrain, the Nuvolari represents “a new performance halo for the four rings.” With a claimed 987 horsepower (1001 PS), a top speed of more than 217 mph (350 km/h), active aerodynamics, quattro predictive ride and a new Audi Space Frame with full carbon fiber body, the Nuvolari embodies “Vorsprung durch Technik,” [Progress through Technology – AutoCrat.].
“It also serves as a statement of Audi’s future direction in performance, technical innovation, and a new design philosophy,” Audi claimed.

Above all, decades after he first drove a car, Zino still revels in the sound of the exhaust as the throttle is blipped during a downshift and the driver’s rush that occurs when the entry, apex and exit points of a turn are smoothly and swiftly crossed. It’s the beginning of a perfect lap.
AutoInformed has an editorial philosophy that loves transportation machines of all kinds while promoting critical thinking about the future use of cars and trucks.
