The story

Audi R8

The second-generation R8 shared its V10 and much of its structure with the Lamborghini Huracán. The 2019 facelift gave it a sharper nose and more power.

The performance quattro sent drive to all four wheels; a rear-wheel-drive performance model with 570 PS was offered alongside it.
