The Audi Nuvolari combines a twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 engine with three electric motors.

With a top speed of over 217 mph, it's the fastest Audi ever.

Production is limited to 499 units.

The name honors a legendary Italian race car driver and was previously used on a 2003 concept.

It’s been a little over two years since Audi called time on the R8 by ending production of its iconic mid-engine performance machine. The German luxury brand has since refuted reports about bringing it back for a third generation, yet there’s now a new supercar that fulfills a similar role. It doesn’t revive the R8 moniker; instead, it adopts another nameplate with a historical reference.
