The Future of the Audi R8 Powertrain

The Future of the Audi R8 Powertrain

Audi’s next R8, set to come out in 2015, will have a lot in common with the new, V10-powered Lamborghini Huracan.  Both cars will put 5.2-liters of 10-cylinder power to the road through 7-speed dual-clutch gearboxes and all-wheel-drive.  That should come as no surprise.  After all, the current 4-ringer shares a lot of its DNA […] More »
