Audi CEO Gernot Döllner, speaking at a roundtable, briefly discussed the V8 in the Lamborghini Temerario.
Döllner also covered the potential performance greatness of plugin-hybrid sports cars and VW Group platform sharing.
The R8 has not been officially confirmed, but Döllner's comments suggest it's certainly being considered.
Audi CEO Gernot Döllner lets out a hearty laugh. He pauses, smiles, and then says, "I'm a big fan of the V8." That's all we, the assembled group of journalists at a roundtable in Munich, needed to hear. A pathway for the R8's return exists, and it would likely collide with the Lamborghini Temerario.
While the discussion in the room mainly focused on the upcoming RS5 and Q9, the gathered media pressed Döllner on other topics, such as increased hybrid options, global strategies, and even more rugged offerings. But for a brief moment, talk turned to a future R8, which Döllner deemed a "good idea."
