Audi Confirms R8 Successor Will Be Totally Electric - CNET

We don't know if the R8 as we know it will live on, but whatever succeeds it will be electric. Linda Kurz, Audi Sport's head of product marketing, confirmed with Roadshow on Wednesday the next car will not feature an internal-combustion engine.

After dipping its toes in electric performance with the E-Tron GT, Audi Sport's "next challenge" will be work to "transform the R segment, and the R segment is going to be fully electric. This is our job for the next decade," she said. To be clear, that doesn't mean we're going to get a next-generation R8, but whatever replaces Audi Sport's halo car will be totally electric, whether it's called an R8 or not.

This will start happening pretty quickly. Aside from cars under the R segment, RS badged cars will dive into electrification heavily, Kurz added. By 2026, 80% of the RS lineup will feature some sort of electrification, and that includes forthcoming purely electric RS-badged models. None of this is a particular shock, but the rate at which we'll start to see silent Audi R vehicles and RS-badged cars zipping around is a mighty quick clip.

The R8 as we know it continues to soldier on with the V10 Performance model in both rear-wheel and all-wheel drive flavors. The brand bid farewell to previous "entry-level" R8 V10 Quattro last year. The consolation prize is anyone buying an R8 these days is treated to 610 horsepower, up from the base R8 model's 562 hp.

Audi R8 V10 Decennium Celebrates 10 Years Of 10-cylinder Power

Ten years ago, Audi shoved a V10 engine into its R8, transforming the R8 into a true supercar. Audi is launching a special edition of the R8 to celebrate 10 years of 10-cylinder production, which will make its public debut at the 2019 Geneva Motor Show. Called the Decennium, it gets the same updates as the rest of the 2019 R8 lineup, plus a few special touches of its own.

The Decennium (the name is Latin for "decade") is distinguished from regular R8 models by matte Daytona Grey paint, The subdued color is matched with 20-inch wheels in a copper finish, a combination that works quite well. The mirror caps and "side blades" (Audi's name for the bits of trim running parallel to the backs of the doors) are made from gloss carbon fiber.

The interior is black-on-black, with copper contrast stitching adding a hint of color. Audi added gloss carbon fiber inlays, and a grippy Alcantara steering-wheel rim as well. Like many limited editions, the interior is also littered with badges attesting to the car's specialness. The puddle lights even project the Decennium logo onto the ground, along with the car's individual serial number.

The Decennium gets the more powerful of Audi's two 5.2-liter V10 variants, with 620 horsepower and 428 pound-feet of torque. While Audi previously offered a rear-wheel drive version of the R8, the Decennium sticks with all-wheel drive. Audi claims it will do zero to 62 mph in 3.1 seconds, and reach a top speed of 205 mph. The same engine will be offered in the standard R8 when that model hits showrooms later this year. Audi is also expected to offer a less-powerful variant of the V10 in base versions of the R8.

Only 222 copies of the Audi R8 V10 Decennium will be built. It's likely that some will make it to the United States, but Audi won't discuss how many, or how much they will cost. The automaker did say that the Decennium will cost 222,000 euros (about $252,000) in its home market of Germany, which represents a roughly 22,000-euro premium over the standard R8 V10 in that country. In addition to the Decennium, Audi will bring an electric concept car called the Q4 e-tron to the Geneva Motor Show.
