With no big news to show, Audi took the R8 LMX to Paris, perhaps for the last time. The promise of the upcoming presentation of the new generation of the R8 remains, with a platform based on the Lamborghini Huracán, as well as two new versions: a hybrid and an all-electric one.
The Audi R8 will undergo a profound transformation already in 2015, with a new platform, more technology and a heartfelt farewell to the manual transmission.
It seems that the new skeleton of the R8 will be based on the platform of the Lamborghini Huracán. Economies of scale demand it so that development costs can be met.
In the engine room, it will continue to be possible to choose between the 2 FSI petrol blocks, including the V8 and the V10, but the big news lies in the R8 e-tron, which has been developed over time. After 5 years of maturation, Audi has finally arrived at a definitive solution.
