Audi R8 – full-blooded sporting experience

Saturday, November 20, 2010

The Audi R8 is a result of longtime work of Ingolstadt‘s designers, developers and technicians. One say that the Audi R8 is a symbol of history and powerful experience (not only from dirty tracks) of Audi, second one thinks that this is a new way of automotive industry. Both are right.

Audi and this model is a part of the best automotive production. Maybe it’s not so powerful as Lamborghini, or Ferrari, but it has definitely place between them.

This sporting roadster with the aluminum chassis (just only 210kg) and LED daylights has become a hit of the year. Sharp lines, sporting look and perfect aerodynamics are priorities of this German monster.

The car has carbon elements both outside and inside, giant openings outside; amazing interior and extreme width prove its sporting hearth.

The engine above the rear axle is the biggest lure of this model. A donor of the engine is the most sporting version of the A4 series called Audi RS4.

But it’s more agile thanks to the Audi R8’s lower weight. The engine placed under the vision glass is a 4.2 liter V8 with a FSI direct injection. It can produce 420 hp at 7800 rpm. Speeding is easy and providing by 430 Nm of giant torque. These parameters allow the car to reach 100 km/h in 4.6 seconds and 300 km/h without any electronic limits.
