V8 engine The high-revving V8 petrol engine delivers 420PS, spontaneous response and a thrilling engine sound. It punches the R8 through the 62mph barrier in just 4.6 seconds.

quattro The R8’s unique engine position, together with quattro permanent four-wheel drive, results in outstanding dynamic performance with very high directional stability and enormous lateral acceleration.
Transmission You can choose a 6-speed manual transmission to channel the 430Nm of torque, or the race-inspired R tronic sequential shift gearbox with joystick and paddle control, which offers exceptionally fast gear changes.

Audi Magnetic Ride Audi Magnetic Ride, optional on the R8, is an adaptive suspension system with two selectable modes: Normal and Sport. Sensors in the car monitor the road conditions and adjust the damping effect by varying a magnetic charge that passes through a fluid-based shock absorber, delivering improved road handling, outstanding chassis control and excellent driving comfort.

FSI® Audi’s exclusive FSI technology means a higher power output, higher torque, lower fuel consumption and reduced exhaust emissions.

Interior Beneath the skin is a deceptively spacious two-seat cabin with plenty of racing car inspiration in its layout and appearance, and full of typical Audi luxury - evident in its fine Nappa leather upholstery and trim.

Colours Choose from a range of eight exterior colours. The sideblades are in a harmoniously contrasting finish, also optionally in Oxygen Silver or Carbon Sigma.

Wheels The Audi R8 is fitted with 5-arm double-spoke design 19-inch alloy wheels. The 235/40 size tyres at the front and up to 285/35 at the rear provide all the road-holding you need.

Lights See and be seen with Xenon Plus ellipsoidal headlights with headlight washer system, dynamic headlight range control and LED daytime running lights.

Audi Space Frame ASF® The Audi R8 incorporates Audi’s many years of experience in working with aluminium. As a result, it has an extremely rigid but light aluminium body

Active headrests The chance of a whiplash injury in a rear collision is reduced thanks to active head restraints. They automatically deploy forwards to cushion backward momentum of the head. This feature is fully adjustable for maximum comfort.

Brake system 8-piston fixed callipers on the front axle and 4-piston fixed callipers on the rear axle give the Audi R8 supreme stopping power and directional stability.

Xenon headlights Bi-Xenon headlights with LED daytime running lights and LED rear lights assist the driver at night, or when visibility is poor, and gives the R8 its distinctive look.

Seat belts In the event of a crash (including from behind or side-on), belt tensioners promptly bring the belt much closer to the occupant’s body, reducing the risk of injuries.

Electronic stabilisation The Electronic Stability Program, ESP 8.0 - configured in three modes for the first time - offers high driving safety and vehicle stability.
