Audi R8 may be discontinued
Audi has published a teaser of the new version of the Audi R8 supercar. This modification will probably be the last one
The official presentation of the car will take place on September 12, but for now there are several images of the exterior hidden under camouflage. You can notice the F-shaped LED headlights, carbon fiber inserts on the body and a large spoiler. On the company's official social media pages, these images are accompanied by the hashtag #AudiR8LastLap, which can be translated as “The last run of the Audi R8”. Rumors about the end of production of the supercar have been going on since 2021. Many even assumed that the 2022 R8 GT RWD modification would be the last for the model ahead of the brand's complete electrification.
There is no information about changes in the power plant yet. It is known that the new modification will retain the traditional V10 FSI. In the R8 GT RWD version, the 10-cylinder 5.2-liter unit had a power of 620 hp and 565 Nm of torque. Acceleration to “hundreds” – 3.4 s. Maximum speed – 320 km/h. Transmission – 7-speed “robot” S tronic. Drive – rear or all-wheel drive.
