Used 2021 Audi R8 Coupe Trims Comparison
Trim level differences
The 2021 Audi R8 is available as either a two-seat sport coupe or convertible (Spyder). Two trim levels are offered: the R8 RWD, which is rear-wheel-drive, and the R8 Performance Quattro, which is all-wheel-drive. The Spyder versions are identically outfitted to the coupes and add a sound-insulated power-folding cloth roof and power glass wind blocker. There's also a limited Panther Edition for 2021. Many features can be substituted between RWD and Performance trims as options.
Which R8 trim does Edmunds recommend?
We have no doubt that the vast majority of drivers will be overjoyed with the R8 RWD. It has more than enough power and overall performance to thrill. You'll also save a bundle of cash compared to the all-wheel-drive R8 Performance Quattro.
