Audi R8

From Audi comes the all-new R8. Race inspired and derived from the Le Mans dominating R8 machine. With it’s mid-engine design and high-revving 4.2 liter V8 with FSI® Direct Injection technology, the new R8 is the ultimate execution of Audi.

Engine

• The mid-mounted V8 engine with 4.2 liter displacement and four-valve FSI® technology produces 420 hp and accelerates the Audi R8 to 62 mph in 4.6 seconds. The maximum torque of 317 lb-ft delivers breathtaking thrust. The top speed is 187 mph. But ultimately these numbers merely prepare the ground for something that is impossible to express in numbers: the supreme driving experience.

R tronic transmission

• An automated 6-speed manual gearbox combines the sportiness of a manual gearbox with the advantages of an automatic. Shifting is performed with the joystick gear lever or with manual shift paddles mounted on the steering wheel. A sport mode shift program further accentuated this motorsport oriented gear-shifting.

Four-link suspension

• The four-link independent suspension at both sets of wheels allows for the functional separation of the cushioning of longitudinal and transverse forces. Not only is comfort enhanced, but directional stability and a sporty road behavior are fully maintained.

Manual 6-speed transmission

• The gearing of the mechanical 6-speed manual gearbox with a dry double plate clutch is matched exactly to the engine and driving performance of the Audi R8. This allows for the engine’s torque to be transmitted to the wheels over almost the entire range of gear ratios and engine speeds.
