The 2021 Audi R8: Performance, Interior, and What to Know Before Buying

The 2021 Audi R8 combines everyday drivability with the performance you would expect from a mid-engine sports car. Available as a Coupe or Spyder, the R8 offers a powerful V10 engine, sharp handling, and a high-end interior.

If you’re considering a used or salvage 2021 Audi R8, here’s what to know about its performance, interior, and features before you buy.

2021 Audi R8 Performance

The performance Quattro Coupe and Spyder churn out an astonishing 602 horsepower and 413 lb-ft of torque, with a 3.5-second 0–60 mph time. Not only does the Performance Quattro setup push out 70 horsepower and 15 lb-ft of torque over the base model, but the simple fact that it’s the top trim makes it that much more impressive. Just knowing what you’ve got under the hood makes it worth it.

The transmission is a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic. The suspension, on the other hand, doesn’t disappoint. The base trim has an adaptive suspension, while the Performance version has a fixed-damper setup. Both are designed to handle corners and long trips comfortably.

Look at those lines. Just stunning.

Audi R8 Interior

The cockpit of the 2021 Audi R8 is pretty minimalist and straightforward: a good thing if you ask us. When it comes to bells and whistles, we prefer those under the hood, not behind the doors.

The gauge cluster displays both instrumentation and infotainment, which includes standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, as well as a 4G LTE hotspot. The navigation system has voice commands, which is pretty cool. There’s not much lacking there.

The interior itself is customizable through a range of black, gray, brown, and red leather with either a flat or quilted pattern, along with matching or contrasting stitching. It looks pretty sharp.
