Audi debuts Nuvolari supercar and Q9 flagship SUV

Audi has introduced two major new models to the North American market, highlighting its strategic focus on the United States. During Monterey Car Week in California, the company debuted the Nuvolari, a limited-edition supercar produced in only 499 units. The Nuvolari features a 1,001 PS hybrid powertrain, capable of speeds exceeding 350 km/h, and shares architectural elements with the Lamborghini Temerario.

In addition to the Nuvolari, Audi is launching the Q9, its largest flagship luxury SUV to date. The Q9 is designed specifically to meet the needs of American customers and offers seven-seat configurations. In the UK, the Q9 will start at £103,900, featuring a 3.0-litre V6 diesel engine with MHEV plus mild-hybrid technology.

CEO Gernot Döllner stated that while the Q9 addresses specific market requirements, the Nuvolari serves as the technological and design flagship for the brand’s renewal.
