The 322hp\/560lb-ft V8 is expected to be boosted even further to yield a 0-60 time of five seconds and top end of 160mph. Lots of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/performance\/\">sports cars<\/a> can manage that but how many of them can get 25mpg while doing it?<\/p>\n<p><em>AutoExpress<\/em> maintains that the diesel-powered R8 will come after the V10 version expected to be released next year.
