Hello, one and all.
Massive and tragic headline I have for you all.
The Audi R8 has finally ceased production.
For years this car has been a wonderful super sportscar in every sense.
We have all seen these R8s on our roads.
And we have all admired seeing them.
They always stopped us in our tracks wherever we saw one.
If you wish here is the Wikipedia article:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audi_R8
Maybe someone here even chatted to an R8 owner. (I haven't)
How did your conversation go?
Sad days indeed that this car is no longer being made!
Safe driving from Flt 158

0-100 - 2.71 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oSzg_Kkuqso&t=1s
It may seem unbelievable at first, but R8 Plus does 0-100 in 2.8, so a quicker 0-100 on a newer, more powerful model is definitely possible. also, at the start of the video, it says 2.71, but in the description its 2.72. and the 2.71 could have been a typo since in his newer videos it says 2.72.

Audi OFFICIALLY announces it's 2026 Formula One Entry!
But, I see no sign of mention of Sauber? Might have missed it.
Quote>"Audi enters the premier class of motorsport. From 2026, the premium brand will compete in the FIA Formula 1 World Championship with a specially developed power unit. The project will be based at Audi Sport’s facility in Neuburg near Ingolstadt. This is the first time in more than a decade that a Formula 1 power train will be built in Germany.
Audi announced its entry at a press conference at the Formula 1 Belgian Grand Prix at Spa-Francorchamps. At the event, Markus Duesmann, Chairman of the Board of Management of AUDI AG, and Oliver Hoffmann, Member of the Board of Management for Technical Development, answered questions in the company of Formula 1 President and CEO Stefano Domenicali and Mohammed ben Sulayem, President of the International Automobile Federation (FIA).
“Motorsport is an integral part of Audi’s DNA,” says Markus Duesmann. “Formula 1 is both a global stage for our brand and a highly challenging development laboratory. The combination of high performance and competition is always a driver of innovation and technology transfer in our industry. With the new rules, now is the right time for us to get involved. After all, Formula 1 and Audi both pursue clear sustainability goals.”
The key to getting involved is the world’s most popular racing series is the clear plan to become more sustainable and cost-efficient. The new technical rules, which will apply from 2026, focus on greater electrification and advanced sustainable fuel. In addition to the existing cap on costs for teams, a cost cap for power unit manufacturers will be introduced in 2023. In addition, Formula 1 has set itself the ambitious goal of being a carbon-neutral racing series by 2030."

Audi R8 TWIN TURBOCHARGED replacement! (*possibly scooped)
https://www.carscoops.com/2021/10/a-new-audi-r8-may-launch-in-2023-with-twin-turbo-v8/
Quote>"A new report from Auto Bild now claims that the third-generation R8 could return to V8 power, albeit a twin-turbo unit related to the 4.0-liter mill of the Lamborghini Urus and various other VW Group models. Auto Bild suggests that it could produce around 700 hp with some form of hybridization."
Hybrid too? Very nice.
I wonder if it'll SPANK the 918? Hahaha!

https://www.driving.co.uk/car-reviews/first-drive/2019-audi-r8-v10-performance-review/
Quote>"The R8 had four-wheel drive but unlike other quattro Audis, power was primarily sent to the back wheels. This meant that, most of the time, the R8 handled a rear-wheel drive supercar. A good one, too.
Throw in an open-gated manual gearbox and a NASCAR-esque 4.2-litre V8 engine, pinched from that year’s RS 4, and you ended up with a machine of which the GODS themselves would be proud."

I think the r8 with more proper tests will be faster than the smilar powered huracan lp 610 4

Well its based on Gallardo, with Gallardo engine and this makes it very special. It feels like Italian car, but with Audi comfort and interior quality.
Can be used every way in brutal fashion. V10, middle engine, AWD, oversteer. Not scary but still fun.
This quote is STILL very atual
