2020 Audi R8 Coupe Introduce https://youtu.be/hkDd32Tlt3w

It will be a sad day if Audi will ever decide to drop the R8 like some of the reports have been indicating. Not all hope is lost as the naturally aspirated supercar could transition to an EV as per a recent statement made by Hans-Joachim Rothenpieler, the company’s board member for technical development. If that’s going to be the case, we’re hoping it won’t suffer from the same fate as the defunct R8 E-Tron.
Whatever the future may have in store for the R8, the current model is hands down one of the most desirable cars money can buy. In this range-topping R8 V10 Performance guise painted in Ascari Blue, the flagship sports car from the Four Rings definitely has that wow factor. The custom 20-inch ABT wheels with a dark finish also help as the aftermarket shoes blend nicely with the other black accents.
Audi unveiled the updated R8 back in October last year, but it’s only now we’re getting pricing details for the U.S. market. Arriving next week at the New York Auto Show before going on sale this summer, the naturally aspirated supercar is going to set you back at least $169,900 for the R8 V10 Coupe base model with 562 horsepower and 406 pound-feet (550 Newton-meters) of torque. Should you want droptop thrills, it’ll cost you an extra $12,200, with the R8 V10 Spyder kicking off at $182,100.
Replacing the Plus version sold during the pre-facelift period, the new R8 V10 Performance Coupe ups the power ante to a mighty 602 hp and 413 lb-ft (560 Nm) in exchange for a hefty $195,900. Go with the R8 V10 Performance Spyder and math starts from $208,100 or the same extra $12,200 over the fixed roof variant.
But wait, we’re not done yet. Audi has an even more expensive version of the R8 you’ll be able to buy. Limited to 222 cars worldwide, the R8 V10 Performance-based Decennium is coming to the U.S. where the last 50 units of the special edition will be available, so numbers 173 through 222. Celebrating ten years of the glorious high-revving 5.2-liter FSI engine shared with the Lamborghini Huracan, the fancy R8 comes strictly in coupe form and has a starting price of $214,995.

So, what do you get for the extra $19,095 you’re spending over the regular R8 V10 Performance Coupe? Like we detailed in the special edition’s reveal article, the Decennium is all about cosmetic tweaks. There are things such as a bronze intake manifold and the 20-inch rims finished in the same shade, while the Four Rings and the “V10” lettering on the front fenders come in glossy black. Inside, the predominately black interior is contrasted by the bronze stitching on the seats, door cards, and the armrest.
