Audi will introduce a V6 Audi R8 in 2018

Recently the new Audi R8 V10 Spyder was spotted in Spain. It's a beautiful car with a very high price tag. For those less fortunate there's some good news. Audi prepares for the introduction of an entry-level R8 in 2018. This car will be powered by a V6 biturbo.

The car magazine Car and Driver tell us that the 'entry level R8' will be powered by a 3.0 liter V6 biturbo, similar to the engine of the Audi S4. We expect that the R8 will produce around 450 hp. When you compare this with the first R8 which was powered by a V8, this copy produced 'only' 420 hp. The R8 V6 will be equipped with a seven speed automatic gearbox with a double clutch and Quattro. This model should easily reach a top speed of over 300 kph. Customers can soon choose between this biturbo V6 and the V10 producing 540 or 610 hp. Rumors about an even more powerful V10 version are also spread although this isn't confirmed yet.
