Audi simply revealed its first hybrid supercar, the Nuvolari. It got here as a shock to us, as we have been anticipating to see the next-gen R8 in idea type. As an alternative, we obtained a futuristic-looking limited-edition supercar powered by a V8 hybrid from the Lamborghini Temerario. Nevertheless, the similarities between the Nuvolari and Temerario don’t finish at that.
In contrast to the R8, which shared elements with the Gallardo and its successor, the Huracan, Audi didn’t simply raid Lamborghini’s elements bin to create the Nuvolari. The collaboration went a lot deeper this time round. In truth, it’s extra Italian than you’d assume.
Effectively-placed sources have revealed to us the true extent of Sant’Agata’s involvement within the undertaking. We’ve been advised that the Nuvolari was developed by Lamborghini. It’s even constructed on the identical manufacturing line because the Temerario.
Naturally, the 2 share a whole lot of widespread elements. The chassis and engine, together with all of the hybrid elements, are borrowed from the newborn Lambo. It has the very same gearbox and steering. Even the seats and infotainment system have been carried over.
The Audi Nuvolari is actually a rebodied Temerario with slight setup adjustments. However we’re not complaining, because the automobile seems to be completely magnificent, and we’re glad they’re solely making 499 models.
