Previously unaffordable, not available in the future, these classic models are about to be discontinued due to electrification

"Don't deceive the young and poor" can be said to be the most well-known sentence of "Ru Lin Wai Shi" on the contemporary Internet. The next sentence of this sentence is "In the end, there must be a day when the dragon wears a phoenix, and the pants of the first life wear a hole", but most people will not have the day when the "dragon wears the phoenix", but will "wear the hole in the pants of the first life".

Just like the following classic models, it is the daily dream material of most teenagers, and now teenagers have entered the society for many years, and still can't afford to buy half a rudder, but these models are no longer willing to wait, and will soon stop production to give way to electrification.

As the cheapest large-displacement self-absorbing supercar at present, the Audi R8 can be said to be the ultimate dream car for teenagers, but with the advancement of the electrification of the Volkswagen Group, Audi has made it clear that it will completely stop the R8 in 2023.

In fact, this is not the first time Audi has announced the death penalty for the R8, the first suspension date audi set for the R8 was 2020, when the reason for the suspension was that the sales situation of the second-generation R8 was not optimistic and could not recover the cost.

When it comes to the sales of audi R8, I have to mention the ultimate question that always accompanies R8: why not buy Lamborghini huracan, I bought R8, am I still worse than the difference of one hundred?

When Audi built the R8 based on the Lamborghini huracan platform, it originally hoped to raise the image of the R8, and later directly used the huracan's same 5.2L self-priming V10 engine, but it did not expect to become the Achilles heel of the R8.

Of course, this question aside, the R8 is definitely a good car. It is also the only supercar outside the Porsche 911 that can talk about comfort and cope with daily commutes.

And the R8 uses the same chassis and engine as the huracan, but the maximum horsepower and peak torque are higher than the basic huracan, and the 0-100km/h acceleration performance is also 0.2 seconds faster.

However, the words of netizens are well said: R8 is not Audi no matter how fast, and huracan is also Lamborghini no matter how slow.

Rolls-Royce Phantom/Shadow

Manufacturer guidance price: 5.05.00 ~ 6.20 million

Even for the planet's top luxury brands, some rolls-Royce models have to say goodbye to us. Last April, Rolls-Royce announced that its coupe Phantom/Shadow would be discontinued in the United States and globally by 2023.

At that time, we thought that the previous generation of BMW 7 Series platform used by the Phantom was too old, and the Phantom's market performance was not as expected, so Rolls-Royce chose to discontinue production directly. Unexpectedly, last fall, Rolls-Royce released the two-door pure electric model Spectre (Lightning), which is expected to be officially launched in 2023.

Unlike the Phantom, which is based on the BMW 7 Series platform, spectre will be based on the Rolls-Royce Architecture of Luxury architecture (luxury architecture) used in Gust, Mirage and other models, but this means that the Spectre will be an oil-to-electricity model.

In this way, I might as well buy a Phantom! As I spoke, I glanced at the wallet on the front of the keyboard, which contained nothing but tissues and a driver's license.

Honda NSX

Reference price: USD 169,500 (North America, approximately RMB 1.1 million)

Powertrain: 3.5T V6 + 3 motors + 9DCT

At Monterey Car Week last year, Honda released the NSX Type S with a limited edition of 350 units, officially announcing the end of the second-generation NSX.

Jon Ikeda, vice president of Acura, said in an interview with foreign media: The first generation of NSX uses a fuel engine, the second generation is changed to oil-electric hybrid, and NSX must have a follow-up. This also proves from the side that the NSX has stopped production due to the electrification of concessions.

The NSX Type S is the last model of the second generation of NSX, and its concept car was first unveiled at the North American Auto Show in early 2012. The biggest highlight is the use of a hybrid system, which consists of a 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6 engine and three motors located in the left front, right front, and rear.

The hybrid supercars that debuted around 2012 also include the Porsche 918 Spyder, McLaren P1, Ferrari LaFerrari, and these three hybrid supercars are also currently recognized as the "three god cars".

Although the second-generation NSX has only been on the market in 6 short years from its official launch (listed in 2015) to the release of the last model, it has also guided the design ideas of the supercar power system in recent years together with the "three major divine cars" and is at the forefront of the industry.

It's just that this time NSX is discontinued due to electrification, which is a bit embarrassing, and there are already pure electric supercars such as Lotus Evija and RIMAC Nevera on the market. Electric supercar is not a new concept, Honda can turn out what flowers this time, the new pure electric NSX can become the dream car of teenagers?
