R8
Racing meets serial production.
Audi has racing in its genes – and the Audi R8 Coupé V10 performance quattro has plenty of this genetic material. You can see this from every angle: from the powerful air intakes next to the wide single-frame grille at the front, through the sharp-edged sidelines, which gives a sense of the mid-mounted engine, through to the raised diffuser at the rear. This 449 kW Coupé marks the exact transition between the road and the race track.
The chassis delivers a key part of the answer: dual aluminium wishbone axles guide all four wheels, while the Audi R8 Coupé V10 performance quattro features springs and dampers that are set up to be even tighter.
Designed to be at the front of the pack: the new Audi R8, with its passenger space located close towards the front, its strongly accentuated wheel arches and its distinctive diffuser, borrows a host of design elements from racing and Audi's history of motor-racing.
Its proximity to racing is also noticeable in the interior of the Audi R8: directly in front of you, a large, contoured arc visually encompasses all the controls, imitating the driver-focused design of a monoposto car. The Audi R8 Coupé V10 performance quattro has bucket seats as optional.
Maximum performance. Breathtaking sound. Exclusive limitation. The new Audi R8 Coupé V10 RWS leaves what you know behind and breaks with traditions: for the first time in the history of Audi Sport, we rely on a pure rear-wheel drive. This gives power a new perspective, a new dimension and a unique driving experience: the Audi R8 V10 Rear Wheel Series is limited to 999 cars worldwide.
Emphasis sportiness, enhances exclusivity: the decorative foliation with a sporty RWS strip design in Misano red - which matches the lacquer in Ibis white perfectly
The interior, with a puristic and sporty open-wheel design, has been constructed to meet the driver's needs right down to the last detail; To ensure you have the optimum sitting position in fast corners as well, the standard R8 sports seats are equipped with distinctive seat side sections. Always under control: the optional R8 performance leather steering wheel, which raises precision to a new level. Everything important in front of you: all relevant driving data can be found on the 12.3'' Audi virtual cockpit right in front of your eyes.
The power of the 10-cylinder engine in the R8 Coupé V10 RWS is not only felt. It also spreads its message of freedom out loud - and this is unmistakable. The powerful sound of the sports exhaust system is highlighted with trapezoidal tailpipes.
