Dying sports cars at Audi to be continued. After it is November 2023 drove from the factory halls the last TT, its bigger brother is now headed for the proverbial sunset. In an exclusive factory Bollinger Hofe in Neckarsulm, another one has now rolled off the production line the latest R8 – Performance Quattro Edition with a carbon aero package and 20-inch wheels.
Audi had to increase production again of the R8 model. After the announcement of the cessation of production of the powerful parade horse, the law followed flood of orders. The last car was said to be originally built end of 2023, but he was actually ready only in March 2024. Last year, sales of the cult supercar increased by a surprising amount 49 percent. They were made 1.591 vehicles. However, the V10-flounder remained by far the least selling product from Ingolstadt.

The end of the Audi R8 model it also means that he is also established with one foot in the grave V10 car of the Volkswagen Group. Also Lamborghini will stop production this year Hurricane, which is basically the model's sister car R8. The rest of the production is already sold out, which means that the new car s 5,2-liter engines can no longer be ordered. Hurricane was definitely the more popular of the two supercars with a mid-mounted engine. This probably also explains why he will introduce the successor only Lamborghini. It was supposed to be presented in 2024. In June 2023, the Italians confidently declared that they would earn enough money to be able to develop a new car, without sharing costs with Audi.
Successor to the model Hurricane the Lambo is said to be of a different variety. Well, if we can say that for plug-in hybrid car and reduced gasoline engines. According to reports, it is said to be an internal combustion engine biturbo V8. We can't wait to see what tricks the bull will pull up his sleeve this time. The electrified successor to the Aventador, the model Scrambled, shocked us with more than 1.000 BAM, provided by the naturally aspirated engine V12 in three electric motors. Lamborghini is therefore already preparing for the arrival of a new supercar. Audi on the other hand doesn't plan the direct successor of the R8. Official voices from the subsidiary every now and then VW they are hinting at an all-electric replacement, but even if there is something to it, it will be quite a while before it happens.
