Last Audi R8 Rolls Off Assembly Line as Iconic Supercar Ends Production
-
The final Audi R8 has rolled off the assembly line in Germany, a Vegas Yellow coupe in the Performance Quattro Edition.
-
R8 production was extended due to an influx of orders after Audi announced it was killing the flagship sports car.
-
R8 sales peaked at 5,016 units in 2008 and have declined steadily since then, making it Audi's slowest-selling global product.
-
The R8's demise means the end of VW Group's venerable V10 engine, which is shared with the Lamborghini Huracán also ending production.
-
There are hints of an all-electric R8 successor but no confirmed direct replacement due to the steep price tag and emissions regulations.
