Audi Nuvolari 2028 is heading to America, and the sticker will stop enthusiasts cold. Audi has confirmed U.S. sales roughly five months after the European premiere, and pricing starts at $700,000. Globally, the hybrid hypercar will be limited to just 499 examples.
Audi Nuvolari 2028 Pricing Strategy
On paper, that number looks absurd. It sits roughly $100,000 above a Lamborghini Revuelto and nearly $150,000 beyond a Ferrari 849 Testarossa. Audi is clearly positioning its halo far above the Italian benchmarks.
Audi’s own yardstick is equally telling. The limited R8 V10 GT, the swan song for the naturally aspirated 5.2-liter V10, was priced at $253,290 in 2022. For more background, read our earlier coverage of the Audi Nuvolari allocation. Ultimately, the business case rests on scarcity rather than volume.
| ⚙️Engine / Powertrain | 4.0L Twin-Turbo V8 with three axial flux electric motors |
| 🐎Power Output | 987 HP (combined) |
| ⚡Peak Torque | Not confirmed (est. 1,000 Nm / 738 lb-ft) |
| ⏱️0-60 mph (0-100 km/h) | 0-60 mph in 2.5s |
| 🚀Top Speed | 217 mph (350 km/h) |
| 🔄Drivetrain / Gearbox | Hybrid AWD with torque vectoring |
| 💰Starting Price / Est. | $700,000 (US base) |
Power comes from the same twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 used in the Temerario, paired with three axial flux electric motors. Combined output reaches 987 horsepower, which is 80 hp more than the Lamborghini. Audi’s larger 7.3-kWh battery, compared with the Temerario’s 3.8-kWh unit, supports a claimed 2.5-second sprint to 60 mph and a 217 mph ceiling. Audi Nuvolari 2028 is engineered to win the spec sheet war.
Aero and Chassis Built for Rarity
Beneath the bodywork sits Audi’s new Space Frame architecture, wrapped in lightweight carbon fiber panels. A three-stage adjustable rear wing and DRS system generate more than 880 lbs of downforce. Still, with so few cars heading stateside, very few owners will risk a scratch on a circuit.
An all-wheel-drive system continuously adjusts torque distribution and aero balance based on acceleration, steering input, and grip levels. Adaptive 4-way suspension and carbon-ceramic brakes come fitted as standard. Those hardware choices suggest Audi built this car for capability first and exclusivity second.
Options will push the figure higher quickly. Buyers can choose from more than 50 gloss paints, 10 matte finishes, and bespoke Audi Exclusive colors. Exposed carbon fiber is available, and 33 leather shades plus three Dinamica fabrics complete the cabin palette.
Limited Allocation and Resale Outlook
Only 182 cars will reach American garages, with deliveries beginning in late 2028. On paper, that scarcity should keep values firm for years. Even so, the market will test whether buyers pay $700,000 for a hybrid V8 when rivals offer comparable performance for less. Ultimately, Audi Nuvolari 2028 looks destined to become a blue-chip collectible rather than a weekend weapon.
