The 'R8' in the Audi R8 stands for 'Racing' and '8 cylinders'. The car was designed with racing in mind and it has a powerful 8-cylinder engine.

The 'R8' in the Audi R8 actually stands for its engine displacement - 4.2 liters for the V8 model and 5.2 liters for the V10 model. It's a clever way for Audi to label their cars and inform buyers about engine size.

The 'R8' designation was inspired by the winning Le Mans prototype race car - the Audi Le Mans R8 - which won the 24 Hours of Le Mans race 5 times from 2000 to 2005.
