Audi R8 Electric Supercar Is Possible, Says R&D Head Marcus Duesmann

Scherer Sport is building what looks like a road legal version of a R8 GT3

This Wild Audi R8 Prototype Could Be A Road-Legal GT3

This white Audi R8 isn't a normal model, and spy photographers say it could be a special GT3 version built for road use.

The Audi R8 is headed into the history books. 2023 marks the end of production for this much-loved supercar, so imagine our surprise when a series of R8 spy photos arrived in our email inbox. The winged and scooped Audi looks much like a GT3 race car, but there's something different about this one. It has number plates front and rear.

Are we looking at a road-legal Audi R8? Our spy sources behind the photos believe so, but it's not necessarily a special model coming from Audi proper. Rather, it's believed to be an R8 GT3 built by Scherer Sport, a company that's long been involved with Audi Sport in the racing and performance world. This could be a test vehicle designed for road use to meet future homologation requirements, but whatever it is, we want to have a go behind the wheel.

That almost certainly won't happen. Our sources say only 100 of these road-going R8 GT3s will be built, and it's safe to assume most (if not all) already have buyers waiting in the wings.

Audi R8 rumored to be considered for a revival by 2027 and twinned with the Lamborghini Temerario.

If this report is to be believed, I'm glad to hear the R8 is returning. As nice as the E-Tron GT is, it simply doesn't have the same appeal in terms of being the brand's flagship model.

With Audi's current design language, it could recreate the futuristic vibe the first-gen had very well. I also hope they go back to making the side blade one piece again.

Great news! Hopefully it won‘t look as bland as the Temerario, though. That‘s the first time I’d call a Lamborghini boring design-wise.
