The 'R' stands for 'RennSport', which is German for 'racing sport'. It represents the car's high-performance and sporty nature.

It could also stand for 'Roadster', as the R8 is available as a convertible. But it is mostly associated with 'RennSport'.

I personally think it could also stand for 'Revolution', as the R8 revolutionized the supercar market with its combination of performance and luxury.
