Audi's R8 next generation
Here I have
a notice that I like a lot, because this is one of the best cars nowadays
fabricated and it is going to appear in a few months.
Following
the debut of the Lamborghini Huracán, work is now well well under way on its
cousin. That, of course, would be the next-generation Audi R8, the followup to
the model that put Ingolstadt on the supercar map in 2006 and has been on the
market ever since. That's an eight-year lifespan, though to be fair, for 2014
it has gotten a pretty meaningful update. Still, that's a long lifecycle, even
if the Gallardo with which it shares its underpinnings was around even longer.
In other words, it's about due for replacement.
Fortunately,
that's just what Audi has in the cards. We've seen prototypes wearing heavy
camouflage lapping the Nürburgring a couple of times over the past few weeks,
but now it's been snapped nearly completely undisguised, with largely bare
black bodywork giving us an even better look at what to anticipate.
So what are
we looking at here? A sharper-looking take on the existing design, for
starters, so onlookers and customers alike shouldn't have any trouble
identifying this as an R8 – but a newer one at that. It seems to take some cues
from the new TT, particularly around the headlights, with more squared-off
elements throughout. There's an adaptive rear wing poking out the back and more
pronounced side-blade intakes between the doors and the rear wheels, which
themselves are wearing ultra low-profile rubber.
Until the
last details are put in place, it's still too early to pass final judgement,
but as an indicator of what's to come, the prototype seen here certainly
catches our attention. But don't take our word for it: check out our spy shots
in the high-res gallery above to see for yourself.
