The hard-top version will be released sometime in the second half of 2014 and the following year for the convertible version.

Audi has revealed some details about the next-generation R8 and it seems that the company is taking a progressive approach to it. The next-generation Audi R8 will feature a two engine line-up and they will be naturally aspirated. The new engines will be enhanced versions of the 4.2 litre V8 (for the base model) and the 5.2 litre V10 (for the high performance version).

 

Expected power output for the V8 engine is around 450bhp (414bhp). The V10
