Entries from all over the world have been made into the world of supercars, with each manufacturer having varying levels of success. In 2007, Audi was a newcomer to the world, following the success of its sports car entrant, the TT. With that, they knew they had to spice it up a little bit, and boy, did they deliver.
Exterior and Interior
Audi is renowned for their classy, minimalistic interiors, and this R8 is no different. The inlays of carbon fiber and the flat-bottom steering wheel are all indications of this car’s true nature, but in classic Audi fashion, it still maintains opulence. A quality audio system controlled through the intuitive Audi Multi Media Interface (MMI) system with Navigation will keep your favorite tunes blasting away on those twisty back roads. The R8 has always been viewed as a stunning piece of metal. The silver paint pairs well with the black soft top and blacked-out / carbon fiber accessories. And just look at that clamshell hood. The honeycomb front grill makes for a menacing stance. If you saw this car in your rearview mirror, you’d better move over. The 19-inch polished wheels, unique to the V10 R8s, add a bit of flair to the well-proportioned body.
Engine
Sitting behind those two seats lies a powertrain that would have car enthusiasts very excited in this day of four cylinders and EVs. A Lamborghini-derived 5.2-liter naturally aspirated V10, reportedly capable of producing over 500 hp, propels this beast to 60 mph in approximately 3.2 seconds. All this is made light work thanks to Audi’s world-class Quattro AWD system, which uses a 6-speed R Tronic automated manual to send power to all four wheels.
