    Hybrid Audi R8 or EV Coming In 2023 Says Report

    It has been quite some time since we heard anything about the Audi R8 and last we spoke, the future of the supercar looked pretty bleak.

    Earlier this year, Audi’s global chief of sales and marketing, Hildegard Wortmann, confirmed a new R8 is apparently not in the cards for 2021.

    A new report coming out of Auto Bild in Germany could give the R8 fans a little glimmer of hope as they suggest we can expect an all-new R8 as early as 2023.

    They continued to note that the new supercar will more than likely be powered by the well known twin-turbo 4.0-litre V8 which would mean bye-bye to the eargasmic naturally-aspirated Audi R8 era. This V8 is used in a wide variety of Volkswagen Auto Group models, from Audi RS models to the Lamborghini Urus and can deliver as much as 641 hp (478 kW).

    The German publication reckons the 2023 Audi R8 will deliver around 700 horses (515 kW) with some form of hybrid assistance. It will likely be the same system that will power the updated Lamborghini Urus.

    Auto Bild did note that we should not rule out an all-electric model especially considering how EVs are quickly becoming very mainstream.

    For now, there is no official confirmation from Audi if they will continue the R8 bloodline. It seems that we’ll have to wait a few years to know if they will push through with it.

    • We waited a fair bit for the Tiguan R to arrive but that means it has been given enough thought and executed with the sort of German precision that makes us happy to have waited.

As fast SUVs go it’s a cracker, and with a price tag starting from R1,014,900 it is actually decent value in the segment.

It’s fun, aggressive when you want it to be and remarkably civilised when you don’t. Cars like this rarely make sense, but the Tiguan R is one case where that argument starts to change one's mind.

We cannot wait to drive the matching Golf next week!

    • The very first SA-spec BMW M2 snapped at BMW HQ in Midrand.

Zandvoort Blue would not be our choice but the looks have certainly grown on us. What about all of you?

    • If you’re expecting a faster, angrier and more focused version of the original 86, you’re going to be happy with this car.

Toyota finally gave the 86 more power. It’s not take-your-breath-away power, but again, it’s not made to win drag races. If you want more power, get a Supra.

Sure it is a bit more pricey this time around but it is a no-regrets kind of car that you will enjoy just as much today as 10 years from now.

Long live the manual transmission, especially when it’s packaged within something as fun as the Toyota GR86.
