With the fully electric e-tron GT about to join the Audi lineup, the sensational R8 sports car faces an uncertain future. It’s still part of the lineup for 2021, mind you, both in Coupe and Roadster body styles. The R8 can sprint from 0-100 km/h in 3.5 seconds thanks to a 562-horsepower V10 engine. Meanwhile, the R8 Performance cranks output to 602 horsepower and reaches triple-digit speeds from a standstill in 3.3 seconds.
