The Audi R8 is planned to use the same platform as the Lamborghini Huracan. While we at Jim Ellis Audi of Marietta won't know any full, confirmed details until March, sources hinted that the V8 and V10 engine options will remain. That being said, a seven-speed, dual-clutch transmission is expected to take over from the six speed manual gearbox.
In addition, Audi executives have confirmed an all-electric version of the R8 is on the way.
