A genuinely electric replacement to the potent German coupe is anticipated to debut in 2025 after the canceled Audi R8 e-Tron did not appeal to many purchasers back in 2015. It is rumored that it may be built on one of Porsche's advanced EV platforms, underpinning the next iteration of the popular Taycan.
One of the most well-known German cars in the
High-end supercar market is the V10-powered Audi R8. However, the potent coupe from Ingolstadt is reportedly set to be replaced as part of the automaker's transition into the EV era by a natural electric successor, which might be produced in more significant quantities than the incredibly rare but also exorbitantly expensive Audi R8 e-Tron from 2015.
According to a recent report by Motor1, the electric replacement for the Audi R8 is planned to debut in 2025. However, it may use a completely different model name. The normal Audi R8 is now manufactured at the Audi factory in Heilbronn, Germany, where production of the two-door electric supercar will also continue. The gas-powered
Supercar may be retired in 2023, but the German automaker reportedly intends to create a unique RWD model to farewell the cherished V10.
Fans and potential customers are speculating on which platform the electric Audi R8 replacement may be on. One viable alternative, according to Motor1, is Porsche's SSP Sports platform, which will underpin the next Porsche Taycan update and the Audi e-Tron GT. On the other hand, the all-electric successor to the Audi R8 may be built on a platform that has yet to be named and is being created for the electric versions of the Porsche Cayman and 718 Boxster. In addition, Sebastian Grams, the head of Audi Sport, told customers that the company is also developing an electric version of the Audi TT, the coupe's smaller sibling.
