Every detail of the R8’s exterior immediately marks it out as a progressive sports car. From the emphatic, structural shape, wide air intakes and weeping sideblades, to the retractable rear spoiler. But these design features aren’t just for show. Each serves its own purpose, whether enhancing the car’s erodynamic potential or cooling the engine which sits directly behind the cockpit. And that’s no easy task.
Both the 4.2 V8 and 5.2 V10 powerplants are extremely high-revving, with breathtaking performance thanks to FSI® direct petrol injection and quattro® all-heel-drive. Enabling you to get the most from them are a number of auxiliary technologies – a lightweight aluminium crankcase, spontaneous R-tronic® automated 6-speed gearbox and Audi magnetic ride.
The Audi R8 Coupe and R8 Spyder combine the time-honoured hallmarks of the best of the classic sports cars with futuristic construction, transmission and suspension technologies.
