Yesterday, Audi revealed a new supercar out of nowhere. No warning, just a strange motorsport-related teaser 24 hours before it dropped a supercar with as much power as a Bugatti Veyron, and one with a 10,000-rpm V8 at its heart. No one saw that coming. But the Audi Nuvolari, which will be limited to just 499 units for approximately half a million dollars each, isn’t simply Audi’s take on the Lamborghini Temerario, as many thought such a supercar might be. It’s something vastly different, vastly more important, and can be considered Audi’s laying down of the gauntlet to rivals like Mercedes-AMG and BMW M.
