“The R8 is an icon of our brand. But icons of the past aren’t necessarily icons of the future. A successor to the R8 won’t just be an R8 with an electric motor. It needs to be an R8 but different,” said Wortmann in an interview with Top Gear.
Very interestic to read, will it even be called the R8?
However, a report from Germany said that according top Auto Bild, we can expect an all-new R8 as early as 2023.
They said that the 2023 R8 will likely make use of the 4.0-liter V8 engine. The 4.0-liter V8 packs a pair of turbochargers with power ranging from 453 horsepower (338 kilowatts) to 641 horsepower (478 kilowatts). This engine is used in a wide variety of Volkswagen Auto Group models, from Audi RS models to the Lamborghini Urus.
