The Audi Nuvolari in 405 days

405 days from the first sketch to the drivable prototype: the Audi Nuvolari1 demonstrates a new pace in vehicle development at Audi. The making-of video traces the project’s journey from the initial concept ideas through development and testing to the endurance tests with the drivers of the Audi Revolut F1 Team and the world premiere in the South of France. “The Nuvolari project is a striking example of how quickly we at Audi can bring an idea to life — that is ‘Vorsprung durch Technik,’” says Audi CEO Gernot Döllner. The new model is much more than a supercar. As a technological North Star, the Nuvolari1 guides the way for future Audi developments and provides important impetus for the brand’s technology portfolio. “The Audi Nuvolari1 is the fastest and most powerful road car we’ve ever produced,” says Rouven Mohr, Member of the Board of Management for Technical Development. At the same time, the project represents a new kind of collaboration at Audi: from the very beginning, experts in design, vehicle technology, aerodynamics, and powertrains worked closely together in an autonomous, focused project team. Short lines of communication, quick decisions, and the close integration of all disciplines enabled the development project to move forward at a rapid pace. “The Audi Nuvolari1 shows that, when you have the right mindset and close teamwork, you can succeed in delivering rapidly without making any compromises”, says Chief Creative Officer Massimo Frascella.
