The 2023 Audi R8 is a mid-size coupe offered in 2 trims, starting off at a base MSRP of $149,200. For that price, it mainly competes with the BMW M8, the Porsche 911 Turbo, and the Nissan GT-R. Between 2 trims, the R8 offers a single powertrain with 2 different outputs. The base engine is a 5.2L V10 capable of making 562 horsepower and 402 lb-ft of torque. If more power is required, the same engine on the R8 V10 Performance Quattro trim makes 602 horsepower. Both engines are mated to a 7-Speed Dual-Clutch Automatic transmission. 

The R8 reaches 60 MPH from zero in 3.6 seconds in its base tune, which gets pumped up to 3.1 seconds with the aforementioned boost. Depending on the powertrain, the R8 can manage a combined fuel economy between 15 MPG and 17 MPG. While we’re on the topic of choices, the 11 striking colors the R8 comes in really pull you towards itself.
