Audi R8 Specs, Engines & Dimensions (from 2018) — Second Generation Restyling
The restyled second-generation Audi R8 offers a two-seat sports car experience in Coupe and Roadster forms. Beyond choosing a fixed roof or open-air driving, pay attention to the drivetrain when comparing versions.
The Audi R8 engine is a naturally aspirated gasoline V10, rewarding you with stronger acceleration as revs rise. Its dual-clutch transmission offers automatic shifts or manual gear selection. Depending on the version, rear-wheel drive brings a more playful handling character, while all-wheel drive provides extra traction when applying power.
