It’s a famous fact that the second-generation Audi R8isn't in the distance away. It will feature an all-electric model but as soon as it arrives, it could support to seriously shake taking place the supercar shout out according to Audi research and increase boss Ulrich Hackenberg.
In one of his interviews in UK, Hackenberg avowed quite usefully that a plug-in-hybrid model and a unmodified electric were coming. And as as soon as the current R8, the next-gen model will borrow from Audi's Italian cousins at Lamborghini.
Audi has intentions to conclusively layer the number of powertrain options for its flagship behave car, in imitation of the usual naturally aspirated V-8 and V-10 engines set to be joined by a battery-powered electric powertrain, a downsized turbo engine and maybe even a high-performance diesel. Now a plug-in hybrid different is other to that list.
"We are able to make the R8 a plug-in hybrid," Hackenberg told CAR. "The Lamborghini Asterion shows this is possible – that car uses the platform of the R8. We will see an accumulation in the efficiency of high-performance cars – they have to meet CO2 regulations of the difficult in order to survive."
Hackenberg clarified that the second-generation R8’s platform, which in addition to underpins the Huracn supercar, was the basis for Lamborghini’s Asterion concept unveiled at 2014. even if the Asterion isn’t destined for production, its impressive plug-in hybrid powertrain will likely stop taking place in some cutting edge cars from the Volkswagen Group. The powertrain paired an internal combustion engine in the manner of three electric motors; a motor powering each of the tummy wheels and an supplementary motor sandwiched between the engine and transmission helping to steer the wheels.
"The R8 successor will arrive neighboring year and we have developed a platform that you can see in the Lamborghini Huracn today. We will have alternative powertrains available, though. And in the R8 E-tron we will have just about 250 miles range."
The naturally aspirated V-8 and V-10 models are conventional to be offered at launch, similar to the all-electric e-tron to reach rapidly after. other variants will likely be introduced well along in the car’s lifecycle.
