Autocar understands that Audi will debut a brand-new R8 in late 2027 as the Audi Sport division's take on the 2026 Lamborghini Temerario

Audi is reportedly preparing a plug-in hybrid R8 based on the Lamborghini Temerario. With an electrified twin-turbo V8, it could develop up to 1,000 hp.

The Audi R8 might not be as dead as we once thought, if a new report from Autocar is correct. Take this information as the anonymously-sourced report that it is, but if true, the R8 could be coming back as an Audi version of the Lamborghini Temerario.

The Audi R8 rode off into the sunset in March last year, marking the end of almost two decades in production. Its time may not have passed yet, however, as a new report claims that Audi may revive the R8 using the chassis and engine from the Lamborghini Temerario.
