Score! Audi RS8 coming next year with V10 580-hp
Audi execs have been saying that it will never happen, but now, according sources at AutoCar, Audi will be bringing an even hotter and faster R8 super car next year, the RS8.

Audi’s powertrain development Wolfgang Hatz confirmed the car with AutoCar this past weekend. “The car is now signed off, and will appear during the second quarter of 2009,” he said.

And yes it’ll be getting the same 5.0L V10 TFSI engine found in the R6 Avant. That means we’ll seeing a 580-hp R8 that will stand next to family members such as the Porsche 911 GT2 and the Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4. AutoCar is estimating a 0-62mph time of... Read Article

Possibly, but the likelihood of Audi coming out with an RS8 based A8 is about as good at BMW coming out with an M7. The alternatives would have been a mouthful though: R8-S, RS-R8, R8-RS... RS8 flows enough and you know you're not going to get it confused with an A8 based car.

There is an R10. It's a LeMans car.

I like R8-S. Seems like the logical thing to call it IMO.

So they came out with an R8 supercar. So now there will be an RS8 super duper car??? lame. Too bad for all the suckers who shelled out for a plain R8, hahaha.

Not at all. It's the same as getting a Porsche C4S instead of a Turbo or GT2.

S4: I'm so envious of the V10 =P. I'm moving back to my hometown in June where my baby's waiting for me!. I can't wait.

It will be awesome with the twin turbo V10. Considering the engine makes the heavier RS6 quicker than the current R8.

I thought Audi was experiencing problems with the RS6 V10 in the R8 since the R8 kept burning up during testing and decided not to bring it to the R8.

That's good to hear. I would love to see the V8 or V10 diesel versions as well.

I hope it's competitively priced as I honestly feel that it will be the ugliest of it's rivals. Particularly against the Lambo, as I'm sure they will be comparable... which would you buy - a Lamborghini, or an Audi? I'm not bashing the car, I just think it may have an image problem.

if the styling of the lambo and audi were reversed, i'd want the audi instead.

That's when they'll call it the R10.

It will never be called the R10!

To differentiate it from the LeMans car, they should call it the R10"

It's nice that Audi customers finally have a two seater that can tow their boat to the cottage.

More importantly though, will it be able to take on a GT-R?

Has Audi ever had an R8 type car in its history? Just wondering because no one ever questions the R's "heritage".
