R8 e-tron

The Audi e-tron concept car was unveiled at the 2009 Frankfurt motor show. Similar in appearance to the R8, but slightly smaller.The prototype version of the R8 e-tron sticks closely to the original concept with a shape reminiscent of existing V8 and V10 petrol powered versions. Audi claims the production version of the R8 e-tron will be capable of a 0–100 km/h (62 mph) time of around 4.8 seconds, making it only 0.2 seconds slower than the R8 V8. Initial plans call for its top speed to be limited to 124 mph (200 km/h) to protect the charge of the battery. It is planned for launch in early 2012.

R8 NF 

Journalists at a tech demonstration at Audi's lightweight research and production plant in Neckarsulm, Germany were shown a teaser of an upcoming supercar, codenamed “NF” that will feature even greater usage of lightweight composites.

The vehicle identified as R8 NF was featured on a timeline showing the creation of carbon-fiber in vehicles such as the R8 and highlighted the carbon-fiber engine cover on the R8 Spyder, the roof of the R8 e-tron and a collection of pieces found on the R8 GT.

At the 2014 mark was the R8 NF, or more specifically, the passenger section. The image implied that the NF would feature a new carbon-fiber rear bulkhead between the seat backs and the engine compartment and showed the carbon-fiber piece extending into the lower B-pillar. Audi would not elaborate on the image, however, they said the prototype is up 20% (325 kg (720 lb) lighter than an aluminum-bodied R8.
