As one of the few "supercar" models of the three German brothers, the Audi R8 has always had a high degree of attention, and rumors of the upcoming electrification of the R8 have been circulating for some time.
Recently, we obtained a set of winter test spy photos of the Audi R8 from overseas media, the car did not wrap any camouflage, basically determined that it is the final version of the model. It is reported that the new car will be equipped with a combination of V10 engine + rear-wheel drive, based on the test vehicle front wheel rear flanks do not have so much snow, if it is four-wheel drive should not have this situation.
In terms of appearance and styling, the new car in the spy photo basically continues the design language of the current model. The front face adopts a hexagonal grille, and the LED headlight group on both sides is still sharp, with a new front lip and double-layer spoiler wings, which look more aggressive.
The sides of the body are also as silky and smooth as ever, showing a low-lying shape. And the new car looks like it has increased the size of the side skirt, and the overall body length should also be improved.
Most of the rear of the car is also laid out in line with the current model, equipped with a large spoiler and carbon fiber spoilers added to the lower surround. The taillight shape, tail diffuser and large bilateral exhaust pipes have not changed, and the visual effect is still excellent.
In terms of power, the new car is expected to be equipped with an upgraded 5.2L V10 engine, and the power output will be higher than that of the current model, and the performance performance will be more prominent. The maximum power of the current R8 has reached 456kW, the acceleration of 100 kilometers is only 3.1s, if the performance of the new car is more prominent, then it will also be a more competitive runner, do not know the next two companies panic?

According to the current situation, the new car is very close to the state of mass production, and it is very promising to officially debut in the second half of this year. As Audi is about to enter the stage of electrification products, Audi has also previously reported that it will also launch a special edition model of R8, but the current details are still only a mystery. Of course, the arrival of the new car is more exciting in any case, and we also look forward to it meeting with everyone as soon as possible, what do you think?
