The R8 is a true supercar and by far Audi’s most exotic vehicle. It shares a certain number of components with the Lamborghini Huracán, most notably the naturally aspirated 5.2-litre V10 engine. RWD models generate 562 horsepower, while those equipped with quattro AWD produce as much as 602 horsepower. A limited edition called R8 V10 GT will have a production run of 333 units. The R8 in its current form is expected to retire after 2023.
