R8/S RS8 or R8/ RS???

[tvrfan]

how would be the 10cylinder version of the R8 named??? R8 is made by quatto gmbh right? so there wouldnt be S version of this car (because audi produces S models and R8 made by quattro gmbh) ?? the name RS8 would be stupid because RS8, everybody would think this is a S version of the car :nono: so i hope and think that it will be names R8/RS.

what do you think?

[The RS6]

I think it will be called the R10, following the nomenclature of the LeMans winners...

[tvrfan]

dont think so, because R8 is a model range i think, a R4 would be there too, and a rumored R10 too, but the rumored R10 is a supersportscar than the R8.

do you think there will be a Successor of the R8?

[w00d00]

I think that it will be names R8-V10

[Fab]

I don't care about the name I care about the fabulous new N/A V10 of 500+ hp to be fitted in it :bow:

This R10/RS8 wathever will be THE 2 seater :R8kiss:

The price will be nice as well :deal:

[tvrfan]

do you think there will be Successor of the R8 in future? i think so, because the car is selling well i think and got very good feedback from carmagazins. also audi introduced R lineup. so its like a A model so there must be a successor. and it sells well.

[Shatlak]

The Successor will be, only hardly it will refer to R10 therefore as such model already is - Le Mans

[Leadfoot]

My guess is the V10 will be called either the
R8/RS
R8v10
R8/10
then we move to the slightly longer names like the
R8S/though not a S-Line
or my favourite the
R10/though not to be mistaken with the LeMans racer. :hihi:

The last one has a catchy ring to it and rolls off the tongue quite well. ;)

What about... RR8 ?

[The RS6]

RSR8 :p :R8kiss:

If we continue with these amazing names Audi will have to shut down and admitt that RS6.com is much better than marketing than they will ever be so we will finally achieve the goal that the forum was setup for... to control Audi worldwide!

But yeh realistically R8 V10 sounds about right?

[Audiphile]

It will be simply called a R8 V10 (the V10 badge (logo) on the opposite side of the rear) as is standard with Audi nomenclature. For example, an A6 is an A6, but you get it as 3.2 or 4.2 or an A8L is 4.2 or W12, etc. Audi will not ruin or dilute the R8 name by calling it something like an RS8 or R8S, etc. Plus an RS8 designation will get it confused with A8 nomenclature. I highly believe that the RS nomenclature is reserved for standard Audi model lines (sedans and their derivatives). The R-series is unique to the point that I would say in terms of prestige and performance it would go as R>/=RS>S with the R reserved for mid-engined Audis. How will you designate the Q7 V12 TDI? It is truely a performance-minded vehicle. As for a R10, I think that will be resevered for a future very high end mid-engine Aud R Series sports car.

I also think it will end up being called the R8 with v10 badges discreetly positioned around the car.

But I still would like something more in your face like 'R8/S'.

[chewym]

R8 V10 makes the most sense. A second gen R8 won't come out for a long time.

[RAMBLER]

I'm leaning towards the "R8-R:dig:

[AndyBG]

R8 RS

...imho

I would as well, but I am afraid that a name like that is just not the way of Audi culture.
