Audi has officially wrapped up the production of its iconic R8 supercar, with the last model recently rolling off the assembly line at Audi’s plant in Germany. The final R8, in V10 Performance Quattro spec, was finished in a Vegas Yellow paint with bronze wheels, and was a coupe with a carbon fibre styling package.
The particular R8 is now set to live a quite life as it will reportedly be placed in a museum. Audi had announced plans to phase out the R8 back in October 2022, but that announcement led to a surge of orders for the last few R8s, which is why Audi reportedly extended production by a few more months.
Audi is set to replace the R8 with a radically redesigned electric supercar to crown its new era line-up of sports cars. The EV is on track for a mid-decade arrival, and while details remain scarce, it will hold true to the R8’s general formula, with a striking two door silhouette, more power than any other Audi and a lofty price tag. It, however, remains to be seen if Audi retains the ‘R8’ moniker for the electric successor.
