Every trim level of the 2021 Audi R8 has impressive horsepower. And with competitors like the
Lamborghini Gallardo
, there’s a lot to live up to. Each of the five R8 trim levels comes with one of two engines: a 5.2-liter V10 with rear-wheel drive or a 5.2-liter V10 with Audi’s signature quattro® all-wheel drive.
Brand new, the base model started at an MSRP of $142,700—just a bit less than the next trim up, the $154,900 Spyder. Those two come with
rear-wheel drive
and the 5.2-liter V10 engine, which gets 532 horsepower at 4,475 rpm and 398 lb-ft of torque at 6,300 rpm. If you’re looking for more power, turn to the Performance Coupe Quattro and the Performance Spyder Quattro, starting at $196,700 and $208,100, respectively. Those are both equipped with a 5.2-liter V10 with quattro all-wheel drive, capable of getting 602 horsepower at 8,100 rpm and 413 lb-ft of torque at 6,700 rpm.
The R8 Panther Edition completes the family: only 30 of these rear-wheel-drive versions exist and will cost you a cool $183,300.
The high price means high speeds for the R8. The 0 to 60 times for the Audi R8 are also pretty impressive, ranging from 3.2 to 3.8 seconds. The top speed is around 205 mph.
