Audi surprised the automotive world with the Nuvolari, a production model featuring a fresh design language focused on absolute simplicity. The Nuvolari made its dynamic debut over the weekend, with Nico Hülkenberg and Gabriel Bortoleto taking turns behind the wheel ahead of the F1 Monaco Grand Prix. This supercar will start reaching customers from 2027.
The Lamborghini Temerario-derived model is the first to fully embody the new aesthetic, which will also be seen in the Concept C. The Concept C will evolve into a production model as an electric sports car with a retractable targa roof and close ties to the Porsche Boxster/Cayman EVs. Both performance vehicles are the first models fully designed by Chief Creative Officer Massimo Frascella after he joined Audi in June 2024.
View Price on AmazonMassimo Frascella, the former design boss at Land Rover and Jaguar, spoke about what the Audi of tomorrow will look like. He believes that future models bearing the iconic Four Rings “should exude extreme solidity and absolute simplicity.” The man in charge of design in Ingolstadt goes on to claim he has found the “secret sauce” for designing next-generation cars. The secret sauce is the perfect coexistence of radii and tensions, incredibly controlled but never organic, a strong sense of solid metal supported by very precise geometric shutlines.
Much like the Concept C before it, the Nuvolari also signals radical changes inside, where the Volkswagen Group luxury brand is moving away from the screen extravaganza of today’s cars. Whether other high-end automakers will follow suit remains unclear, but in Audi’s case, a reduction in screen real estate will bring another benefit: a resurgence of physical controls. A jump in the quality of materials used throughout the cabin is also planned.
