The R8, obviously not enough for the Audi, which has decided to enter on the stage of hypercars with a halo car. This revelation comes from the most official lips, those of CEO της Audi Sport Stephan Winkelmann, who states that the model will be late to come, but he will be placed over the R8.
Rendering of Audi's hypercar, which could be called the RS- Quattro. Why not?
“Θέλω πολύ να δουλέψω σε αυτό, στο μέλλον”, είπε το αφεντικό της Audi Sport, όταν ρωτήθηκε από το Automotive News για ένα limited production, centrifugal hypercar και τόνισε: “Πιστεύω όχι μόνο ότι the brand deserves it, but also that there is demand outside, that customers are looking forward γι’ αυτό”.
Of course, as he explains, this will not happen overnight. Η Audi Sport must first expand its range of models with more RS crossovers and electrical cars, before starting to work on a hypercar.
Το Audi R8 εν ώρα… δράσης
Practically, that doesn't mean we'll see it before 2022, as by 2021, it will present the remaining series of its fast models. Immediately, we will see the RS Q5 and RS Q8 be added to the RS Q3, while already prepared and new publications of RS4 and RS6 based on the new generation of Α6. Later, somewhere in 2020-21, the Audi Sport will present the series of electric e-Tron, ενώ, όπως είπε ο Winkelmann, θα αποκαλύψει ένα “coupe-ish sedan” και ένα “coupe-ish SUV“, ηλεκτρικά, υψηλών επιδόσεων.
As regards the hypercar, τώρα, αυτό θα τοποθετηθεί στην κορυφή της “πυραμίδας” της Audi, over the R8 and will be the top model of the brand. Γι’ αυτό και ο Winkelmann λέει ότι η ομάδα του θα πιεστεί πολύ για να το φτιάξει σωστά, καθώς it is necessary να υπάρξει ένα halo model και πρέπει να γίνει σωστά. “Αν πρέπει να το φτιάξεις, πρέπει να έχεις πάντοτε κάτι κορυφαίο”, λέει.
