The third-gen R8 will reportedly swap the naturally aspirated V10 for an electrified twin-turbo V8 that already powers the Lamborghini Temerario

The Audi R8 may be set to return as soon as 2027, sharing its chassis and powertrain with the Lamborghini Temerario. The news was first reported by Autocar on March 10, which claimed that a new R8 is crucial for Audi's GT racing program.

The Audi R8 may be brought back featuring a new plug-in hybrid powertrain from Lamborghini, according to our sister publication Autocar UK. This new R8 is reportedly set to launch internationally in 2027; Audi rolled off the last R8 supercar from its production line in 2024.
