# Hybrid Halo Supercars The Audi Nuvolari Pairs a Twin-Turbo V8 with a Three-Motor Hybrid System By Amy Duong | Published 2026-06-09 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nuvolari References: [audi](https://www.audi.co.uk/en/models/nuvolari/)  The [Audi](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/audi-rs-etron-gt) [Nuvolari](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/audi-nuvolari) is a high-performance hybrid supercar that combines a 4.0-liter biturbo [V8](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/concept-xm) engine with three 110-kW axial-flux electric motors and a 7.3-kWh lithium-ion battery. The powertrain produces a combined 1,001 PS and enables a 0–100 km/h time of 2.6 seconds, with a claimed top speed above 350 km/h. Built around an Audi Space Frame structure with carbon-fiber bodywork, the vehicle balances high output with lightweight construction. A predictive quattro system and variable torque vectoring manage power delivery across different driving conditions. Formula 1-inspired active aerodynamics play a central role in the design. An adaptive rear wing with a drag reduction system contributes to more than 400 kilograms of downforce. The exterior references earlier Audi performance models through contrasting side blades, a low-slung profile, and a tapered roofline.
