2021 Audi R8 has introduced the initial coupe and rear-wheel drive in the 532 hp Spider version. This configuration replaces last year’s base offering, which was equipped with a 522 hp V-10 engine and all-wheel drive.
To now get an all-wheel drive, you need to upgrade to the more expensive and more powerful high-performance R8 model with 602 hp.
Choosing between standard models and performance models is a difficult decision. For starters, the 532 hp V-10 also offers incredible acceleration and the same rumble as the 602 hp version.
Engine, Performance, and Transmission
The V-10 R8 engine comes in two horsepower options – both powerful enough to knock out unexpected occupants and can burn your ears with a second universal exhalation. R8’s seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, but not the most comfortable.

The Audi R8 base comes standard with adjustable hubs, while high-performance models have a more aggressive fixed-tilt setup.
The two protrusions absorb very well and provide a pleasant driving experience that you can take with you on long, tireless journeys.
Interior and Comfort Audi R8
Minimalism has never been so luxurious Audi R8. Combining a dashboard and infotainment devices, Audi offers a pleasantly simple layout and beautifully designed gaming seats, as well as a high-resolution digital instrument panel that is central to the R8’s cabin.
It allows a slight alteration of the heel and the internal structure and interior: Black, gray, gray, and red leather are available with a flat or stitched pattern and with matching or contrasting seams.
All in all, it’s a well-designed cab with simple access controls, including amenities like a power button on the steering wheel. No one buys a supercar for convenience, and the R8 doesn’t break the trend in the segment by delivering real cargo.
