Rumor has it the famed Audi R8 isn't gone for good, after all. Apparently sharing its underpinnings with the Lamborghini Temerario, we envision what it could look like.

Autocar understands that Audi will debut a brand-new R8 in late 2027 as the Audi Sport division's take on the 2026 Lamborghini Temerario

Autocar claims to have knowledge that engineering on the vehicle is officially underway with the backing of Audi chairman Gernot Döllner. The details are theoretically similar in scope to the two previous generations of R8: take the important bits from Lamborghini; temper its character into something more Germanic; and wrap it all in Audi styling.
