Audi recently introduced the 2019 R8, with the mid-cycle revamp of the supercar bringing changes on multiple fronts. These days, the Internet simply must take advantages of such opportunities, which is why the rendering realm rushed to portray the Ingolstadt mid-engined machine in various setups, such as the Sportback.
Well, we are now back on the matter and that's because we've brought along a 2019 Audi R8 Police Car.
With its V10 motor and its loud naturally aspirated soundtrack, the R8 would make for a proper Autobahn traffic control vehicle - keep in mind that the German highway network has multiple derestricted sections, which allow drivers to go flat out.
The render we have here comes from social media label J.B. Cars, with this managing to achieve its goal via small changes - note that the R8 has been gifted with a roof-mounted light bar, front-grille lights, as well as decalls on the sides and the frunk lid.
As indicated by the small fixed wing found at the posterior of the vehicle, the model used for this pixel play is the R8 V10 performance (this replaces the V10 plus), which pushes its 5.2-liter V10 motor to 620 horsepower and 580 Nm (428 lb-ft), which makes for a boost of 10 hp and 20 Nm of twist.
One of the reasons for which the power upgrade was introduced is that the 2019 model is slightly heavier than the car it replaces. The German engineers were forced to introduce extra hardware in order for the vehicle to cope with the stricter WLTP emissions testing in Europe.
Of course, the close sibling of the second-generation Audi R8, namely the Lamborghini Huracan, is also preparing for its mid-cycle revamp.
And since we're talking renderings, we'll remind you that we've already featured a pixel stunt showcasing the 2020 Huracan. As the spyshots have proved, most of the visual changes are set to take place at the back, while multiple Huracan Performance-inspired visual changes are coming.
