An unrivalled combination of passion, determination, expertise and Vorsprung durch Technik has helped propel the four rings of Audi past finishing line after finishing line. With the introduction of the revolutionary quattro® all-wheel-drive technology in the early 1980s came a run of victories that will never be forgotten. And thanks to a continuing dedication to innovation and progression, that success has continued right through to the present day. In 1999, Audi entered Le Mans for the first time. Since then, it has won the legendary endurance race an incredible eight times. It is in recognition of this unprecedented success that the new Audi R8 was created ­ a car that has much more in common with the Le Mans-winning racer than simply a name. aluminium crankcase, spontaneous R tronic automated 6-speed gearbox and Audi magnetic ride. Inside its rigid yet lightweight aluminium Audi Space Frame, the R8 has more than a hint of racing car inspiration in its layout and appearance, with Fine Nappa leather Sports seats, driver oriented instruments and a leather flat-bottomed steering wheel as standard. The perfect setting to enjoy some impressive technologies, including the optional Audi parking system advanced and the 465-Watt 12-speaker Bang & Olufsen surround sound system ­ if the arresting symphony of the R8's engine wasn't enough. Read on to discover more about the revolutionary Audi R8, including standard and optional equipment, paint colours and prices. Design and performance 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 sweeping 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 aerodynamic 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-wheel-drive. Enabling you to get the most from them are a number of auxiliary technologies ­ a lightweight Craftsmanship The Audi R8 is built on a small production line in a specially constructed block at the Audi factory in Neckarsulm, Germany. The entire production process ­ from the bodyshell construction to final assembly ­ is organised in the same way as it would be in a craft workshop. Small teams of specialists oversee every step of production, subjecting every part and component to intense scrutiny. This ensures that every one of the maximum 20 cars built each day will more than match the customary high-quality standards of the Audi product range. 5 Transmission Manual By specifying a 6-speed manual transmission for your R8, you can put yourself in complete control of your driving experience. The system is matched precisely to the R8's engine configuration and driving dynamics, allowing you to take full advantage of the broad spread of engine torque available across its six closely-spaced gear ratios. With its compact design and low weight, the manual system is a simple, direct way to tap into the awesome power of the R8. Providing short gearshift travel and precise lever movement, it gives you the highest possible level of accessibility with the minimum of fuss. R tronic sequential transmission R tronic is a unique technology developed by Audi, which provides swift and seamless gear-changing for an incredibly sporty drive. Thanks to its groundbreaking electro-hydraulic shifting unit, R tronic transmits all the force of the R8's engine power to the road with unrivalled smoothness and control. And when you switch to S mode, the ride becomes all the more thrilling: the system delays automatic gearshifts for optimum acceleration, while the pioneering Launch Control provides the kind of lightning-fast performance that allows the R8 to spring from a standing start to 62mph in just 3.9 seconds*. *5.2 FSI quattro®. 6 Model details and prices 7 8 9 Model equipment All R8 models have the following items of standard equipment: Safety and security Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) Anti-Slip Regulation (ASR) Anti-theft alarm and electronic immobiliser Brake lights with LED technology Disc brakes, internally vented, 8-piston brake callipers at front and 4-piston at rear Driver, front passenger and front side airbags Electronic Differential Lock (EDL) traction control ESP Version 8 ­ latest generation Electronic Stability Programme networks the ABS, EBD, ASR and EDL systems and ensures greater stability at all speeds by braking individual wheels as required and overriding the engine-management system.
