The new 2017 Audi R8 and 2016 Audi RS7 performance and Audi S8 plus will make their North American debut next week at the 2015 Los Angeles Auto Show. We have very little information to report at this point, but we’re still super excited. Are you?

2017 Audi R8

Here we have the fastest and most powerful Audi of all time, and it’s scheduled to go on sale next spring. The new Audi R8 and R8 LMS racecar were co-developed and share approximately half their components, including the engine. The base R8 V10 model produces 540 horsepower, while the R8 V10 Plus cranks out 610 horsepower.

2016 Audi RS7 performance

The new RS 7 performance model with 605 horsepower joins the current RS 7 rated at 560 hp to further improve the RS 7 offering for those that seek track-tested performance and premium refinement.

2016 Audi S8 plus

This one uses a 4.0L twin-turbo V8 engine that breaks the 600-hp barrier. New exterior design elements help make it more special.
Don’t miss our coverage of the 2015 Los Angeles Auto Show to learn more about these three new Audi models.
