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.

The Audi R8 may be set to return as soon as 2027, sharing its chassis and powertrain with the Lamborghini Temerario. The news was first reported by Autocar on March 10, which claimed that a new R8 is crucial for Audi's GT racing program.

The third-gen R8 will reportedly swap the naturally aspirated V10 for an electrified twin-turbo V8 that already powers the Lamborghini Temerario

With a four-digit power output, the new R8 Performance will be the most powerful and fastest road-legal Audi ever, surpassing the current titleholder, the e-tron GT RS.

The Audi R8 may be brought back featuring a new plug-in hybrid powertrain from Lamborghini, according to our sister publication Autocar UK. This new R8 is reportedly set to launch internationally in 2027; Audi rolled off the last R8 supercar from its production line in 2024.

The Audi R8 might not be as dead as we once thought, if a new report from Autocar is correct. Take this information as the anonymously-sourced report that it is, but if true, the R8 could be coming back as an Audi version of the Lamborghini Temerario.

The Audi R8 rode off into the sunset in March last year, marking the end of almost two decades in production. Its time may not have passed yet, however, as a new report claims that Audi may revive the R8 using the chassis and engine from the Lamborghini Temerario.
