It’s a well-known fact that the second-generation Audi R8isn't far afield away. It will feature an all-electric model but later than it arrives, it could foster to seriously shake stirring the supercar market according to Audi research and enhancement boss Ulrich Hackenberg.
In one of his interviews in UK, Hackenberg acknowledged quite clearly that a plug-in-hybrid model and a pure electric were coming. And as similar to the current R8, the next-gen model will borrow from Audi's Italian cousins at Lamborghini.
Audi has intentions to conclusively accumulation the number of powertrain options for its flagship produce an effect car, in imitation of the normal naturally aspirated V-8 and V-10 engines set to be united by a battery-powered electric powertrain, a downsized turbo engine and maybe even a high-performance diesel. Now a plug-in hybrid complementary is further 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 lump in the efficiency of high-performance cars – they have to meet CO2 regulations of the innovative in order to survive."
Hackenberg clarified that the second-generation R8’s platform, which plus 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 occurring in some well ahead cars from the Volkswagen Group. The powertrain paired an internal combustion engine subsequent to three electric motors; a motor powering each of the stomach wheels and an other motor sandwiched amid the engine and transmission helping to drive the wheels.
"The R8 successor will arrive next year and we have developed a platform that you can look in the Lamborghini Huracn today. We will have interchange powertrains available, though. And in the R8 E-tron we will have very nearly 250 miles range."
The naturally aspirated V-8 and V-10 models are time-honored to be offered at launch, as soon as the all-electric e-tron to reach immediately after. supplementary variants will likely be introduced well along in the car’s lifecycle.
