It is reported that Audi officially confirmed that the V10 R8 will be the last model in the series, which is expected to be discontinued in 2023, and the successor model is not yet clear, that is to say, the Audi R8 supercar will become history.
Sebastian Grimes, head of Audi RS, said in an interview a few days ago: "Audi RS is following Audi's all-electric strategy, which is also the plan of S and RS models. If we were to build a new type of supercar, it would be electric. It follows our strategy and vision towards an all-electric future. ”
"If we build" not only indicates that the R8 will not be replaced, but also that its electrified successor model is unclear. Of course, Audi has no shortage of electric sports car reserves in recent years, including the RS e-tron GT, and even if they no longer continue the name of the R8, Audi will surely launch an exciting successor.
