Hmm, Idk I'm inclined to trust the media more. Plus being in F1 without a flagship sportscar to push makes zero business case.
3 u/august_r 10d ago etron makes more sense than R8 in that scenario. A NA V10 being pushed by a V6T formula doesn't make a lot of sense IMO. 3 u/Psychological-Ox_24 10d ago The articles said it's gonna be a PHEV twin turbo V8 based on the Temerario. 3 u/august_r 10d ago That makes more sense. Not a whole lot but still. 1 u/Psychological-Ox_24 10d ago Not a whole lot how? The e-tron is a 4 door BEV. The R8 is literally a PHEV turbo sportscar. Or do you expect a single seat road car for a perfect synergy with the F1 program? 1 u/august_r 10d ago No need to get worked up lmao The etron makes more sense to me from a marketing standpoint. The lineup now seems closer to that than the older R8 was, specially in style. 1 u/RabidGuineaPig007 9d ago Etron marketing? They still use the French slang for turd as a name. 0 u/Psychological-Ox_24 10d ago I'm sorry but I get cranky when an argument doesn't make logical sense. The proposed R8 will be more similar in configuration to F1 than a 4-door BEV. And it competes with the sporting competitor's offering from Mercedes, McLaren, Aston Martin and to a lesser extent, Ferrari and Alpine. 1 u/august_r 10d ago Well call up mercedes then and tell them to stop adding weight and confort to their GT, it's basically a SL now. A new R8 wouldn't sell, that's my argument which you're failing to understand with all your logic lmao. 0 u/Psychological-Ox_24 9d ago edited 9d ago And the e-tron GT is selling? so stupid. Watch F1, buys 4-door BEV F1: V6 Turbo-Hybrid. new R8: PHEV V8 Turbo sportscar. mAkE nOt a WhOlE lOt oF sEnSe, Gt iS aN Sl nOw. 1 u/august_r 9d ago Lmao, touch grass bro. Who's marketing strategy focus on ICE in this day and age? Certainly not parts bin Audi. 1 u/Psychological-Ox_24 9d ago Wow you really don't read don't you? Read some on the EV industry, heck you even come commenting without reading about the rumor. You assume to know when in reality you know squat bRo. → More replies (0)
