The Audi R8 (Type 4S) is the second generation of the Audi R8 sports car, manufactured by Audi, with production beginning in late 2014 and a public debut at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show. It replaced the Type 42 and is based on the Volkswagen Group Modular Sports System platform shared with the Lamborghini Huracán, whose 5.2 litre V10 it uses. Development began in 2013, and the body swaps several large aluminium parts for carbon fibre to make it lighter and stiffer. The range included a coupe, a Spyder convertible shown in 2016, a rear wheel drive RWS limited to 999 units from 2017, and a short run of electric R8 e-tron cars. A facelift in October 2018 raised the base V10 to 570 PS and the V10 performance to 620 PS, and the R8 LMS GT3, GT4 and GT2 customer racing cars were built on it. Reviewers praised its engine and handling.
