Here, out of spots and other stories, the Audi R8 is now official and available from the first half of 2007. For my taste, Audi will not disappoint anyone with the launch of this supercar with aluminum body and two-tone paint.

Motor data which we know is not true, not the Biturbo V10 FSI of 610 hp and will be diesel. Audi has finally decided by the 4.2 FSI V8 engine capable of releasing up to 301 km / h speed limit or do 0-100 km / h in 4.6 seconds. The maximum power of 420 hp at 7800 rpm and maximum torque is constant from 4500 to 6000 rpm, 430 Nm left figure, which is not bad for a naturally aspirated engine.

R8 power reaches the wheels through a gearbox and a six-speed R tronic automatic, although purists enjoy it much with a change sequential control lever or cam wheel.




If you look good on the outside, we can see some details never seen before at Audi. For the first time in a production car, the house has decided to mount the Germanic brand emblem on the hood, instead of the usual position on the grid.And two-tone body with air intakes on the side of a darker color than the rest, I think that has not been seen before in any way Audi.





Further details of the Audi R8 is also present throughout the body. The engine compartment that looks good from the outside or from within, through the transparent cover and the option to add a diode to be visible at night.Continuing the retractable rear spoiler deploy automatically when the speed is increased and helps grip provided by the design of the body improve considerably.













The interior is dominated by leather and Alcantara, although there is the option to request a seat on the skin only. What may disappoint some extent if the dashboard is very similar to that already seen in the Audi A6. Shifter, aluminum all, maybe you can make it difficult to access the climate control.







A greeting to all who sent us the track.
