Audi R8

Now even more dynamic, lighter, more powerful and faster: Audi is launching a limited -production version of its R8 high-performance sports car - the R8 GT. The output of its 5.2- liter V10 has been increased to 560 hp; vehicle weight has been reduced by roughly 220 lb. The R8 GT accelerates from zero to 100 kph in 3.6 seconds and reaches a top speed of 198 mph. The engineers have reduced the weight of the Audi R8 GT drastically once again compared to the R8 5.2 FSI quattro. In addition to the aluminum Audi Space Frame body, a number of new components made of carbon fiber composite play a decisive role in the car's low weight.

Audi is expanding the model range of its R8 high-performance sports car, with the Spyder 4.2 FSI Quattro, another open-top version equipped with a V8 engine joining the R8 Spyder 5.2 FSI quattro. The 4.2-liter FSI produces 430 hp and launches the two-seater to 100 kph in 4.8 seconds on its way to a top speed of 186 mph. The Audi R8 Spyder 4.2 FSI quattro is pure high tech. The quattro permanent all-wheel drive gives it superior traction, and there is an option for the R tronic sequential manual transmission.
