The R8 is Audi's first production mid-engined supercar, built from 2006 to 2024 across two generations. The first generation (Type 42, 2006–2015) launched with the 420 hp V8 4.2 FSI and from 2009 also offered the V10 5.2 FSI shared with the Lamborghini Gallardo. The second generation (Type 4S, 2015–2024) was V10-only, using the same block as the Lamborghini Huracan. The R8 is one of the last production supercars with a naturally aspirated V10; its successor will be fully electric.
