The Audi R8 V10 Plus was a high performance variant of the Type 4S Audi R8 that debuted for the 2016 model year. Initially, the V10 Plus was only available as a coupe, but for the 2018 model year, a convertible was introduced. Although powered by the same mid-mounted 5.2L V10 engine as offered in other R8s, the V10 Plus' engine was tuned to generate 602hp. Drive from the engine was sent to all four wheels through Audi's Quattro all wheel drive system paired to a 7 speed S-Tronic automatic transmission. The Type 4S R8 V10 Plus was built until 2018, when it was replaced by the new Audi R8 Performance Quattro.
