2022 Audi R8 Trims Comparison

2022 R8 trim level differences

The 2022 Audi R8 is a two-seat mid-engine sports car available as both a coupe and convertible, the latter of which uses a power-operating soft top and is dubbed the R8 Spyder. The two trim levels are the R8 V10 Performance RWD, which is rear-wheel-drive, and the R8 V10 Performance Quattro, which is all-wheel-drive. Features are identical for both the coupe and convertible.

R8 RWD
Power comes from a 5.2-liter V10 engine now making 562 horsepower and 406 lb-ft of torque paired to seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. Standard feature highlights include:

  • 20-inch wheels
  • Power-folding, heated mirrors with auto dimming
  • Auto-deploying rear spoiler
  • Automatic climate control
  • Leather upholstery
  • Heated seats
  • Digital instrument panel
  • Navigation system
  • Satellite radio
  • Wireless charging pad with signal booster
  • Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration
  • Automatic high beams
  • Front and rear parking sensors

The RWD model is also available with a few packages, including:

  • Premium package
    • Bang & Olufsen premium audio system
    • Faux suede interior treatments
    • Extended leather upholstery
  • Dynamic package
    • Carbon-ceramic brakes
    • Upgraded leather upholstery
    • Nappa leather-wrapped racing seats with fixed backrests

R8 V10 Performance Quattro
Besides including the Dynamic package as standard equipment, the R8 Quattro gets a power increase (602 hp, 413 lb-ft). It also has:

  • All-wheel drive
  • Fixed rear spoiler
  • Sport exhaust system
  • Upgraded headlights
  • Carbon-fiber accents
  • Optional fully adjustable sport seats

Which 2022 R8 trim does Edmunds recommend?

While it might be tempting to opt for Audi's Quattro all-wheel drive system, we believe most people will be more than pleased with the R8 V10 Performance RWD. You still get the R8's wonderful V10 soundtrack and excellent handling for far less money than the all-wheel-drive version.
