2016 Audi R8 V10 plus forward

The V10 mid-engine as well as a recently developed quattro drive ensure breathless driving operation, particularly in the top of the range variant with 449 kW (610 hp): attaining 0 to 100 km/h (62.1 mph) in only 3.2 seconds, its top rate is 330 km/h (205.1 miles per hour).

A high-revving mid-engine with top-notch functionality, an incredibly dynamic chassis with quattro drive system and completely varying torque control and a lightweight building theory - this is what makes the R8 Audi's sporty spearhead. The high performance sports car continues to be recently developed from the bottom up - it's fascinating, more striking and more tight both on on the way and the race track.

"Together with the new Audi R8, our engineers are bringing accrued racing expertise in the race track on the street. No other version evokes emotion that is dynamic. As a result of the close co-operation between racing drivers racing engineers and programmers, the Audi R8 has found an operation increase that was clear - this benefits both the R8 LMS as well as the chain production car developed on the foundation with this.

The engines: 10 cylinders in two variants

The 5.2 FSI is accessible in two variants: one with 397 kW (540 hp) and another sport 449 kW (610 hp). The freely aspirated V10 engine's sound, whose maximum torque can be obtained has become sharper and more total. A 7- a recently developed quattro drive system carry the power to the street as well as rate S tronic transmission. The distribution conforms to the individual states that are driving - in excessive instances, 100 percent of the torque could be carried to the front or rear axle. The brand new operation style in the Audi drive select dynamic managing system enables adaptation of the very most significant ride dynamics parameters.

Lightweight structure: just 1,454 kg (3,205.5 pounds) dry weight

Despite lots of additional gear and greater rigidity, the brand new Audi R8 weighs up to 50 kilograms (110.2 pounds) less than its forerunner. The stuff Audi Space Frame (ASF) ensures optimum axle load distribution and low weight. The mixture of aluminum and carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP) opens up new measurements regarding crash behaviour, rigidity and weight. The aerodynamic underbody which incorporates a diffuser that is long increases downforce. The chassis, also, using its double wishbone suspension presents how the new Audi R8 would be to motorsport.

Layout: level, broad, muscle

The plan represents the R8's strong sporty nature. A visual differentiating characteristic which additionally provides increased security comes in the shape of the normal LED headlights. For much more brightness and a long field of vision, the laser area is offered by Audi for the high beam as an alternative - complemented by the dynamic turn signals in the front. Dynamic turn signals are normal in the back.

In the new Audi virtual cockpit, the screens are not analog. The most significant controls are grouped on the steering wheel, also called satellites in button bunches. In the inside, the motorist gets the feeling. The air conditioning controls accentuate the simplicity of the control panel using the interior's floating effect. MMI navigation plus is normal.

Sales of the brand-new Audi R8 beginning in summer 2015. Costs are 187,400 euros for the top of the range variant R8 V10 and 165,000 euros for the R8 V10 .

New factory for quattro GmbH: production in the "Bollinger Hofe" website

An intricate fabricating technique ensures that Audi- quality that is typical is made.

The next generation forms the basis for more versions. The most recent evolutionary model of the electrically-powered high performance R8 e-tron sports car reaches a performance amount of 340 kW as well as a torque of 920 Nm (678.6 pound-feet).

The Audi R8 LMS race car that was brand new was developed on the basis of the new GT3 regulations due to come into effect world-wide from 2016. This year it's going to be put at the factory through its paces. Despite substantial operation increases 50 percent of its own elements will be exactly like the series production automobile.

The brand new Audi R8

The R8 is Audi's dynamic spearhead. In Audi's second generation, the high performance sports car continues to be recently developed from the bottom up - it's fascinating, more dramatic and more tight. The high-revving V10 engine can be found in two operation variations. In the top of the range variant with 449 kW (610 hp), it develops power that is breathless.

"Together with the new R8, our engineers are bringing accrued racing expertise in the race track on the street. No other version evokes emotion that is dynamic, none is nearer to a race car. The brand new R8 V10 plus is the strongest and most rapid series production Audi of all time."

The mid-engine principle employed for the Audi R8 isn't just a significant bit of Audi convention but in addition a classic theory in motorsport. The strong engines were found before the back axle in the Grand Prix race cars brought by Auto Union - a ground-breaking measure in the time to the start line. In 2000, the 24 hour Le Mans endurance race was won by Audi using the LMP R8 model for the very first time. By 2005, the auto which provided the the name for the current series production five general successes had been ensured by high performance sports car in the Sarthe - the name selected for the road form of the superb sports car suggests the technological connection between both winners.

The foundation for our brand's accomplishment: motorsport was part of the development strategy in the very beginning. In 2009, the R8 LMS customer racing race car started its success story which might lead it to 23 tournament titles and more than 190 successes world-wide. Technically speaking, it's closely associated with the street form of the same parts of the sports car.

The brand new generation uses the most recent development of the ten-cylinder engine. In the new R8, the offers a lot more power and torque. Controllable flaps in an elective sport exhaust system and the exhaust pipe make the vehicle sound even characteristic.

The ten-cylinder engine can be found in two variants. The R8 V10 is the fastest series-production Audi of all time and is a lot more strong.

It improves engine output and complements the FSI direct petrol injection, lowers fuel consumption. In addition, the R8 features yet another revolutionary system in the type (cylinder that is on demand). It shuts off among the two cylinder banks by deactivating ignition and injection. Up to 10 percent when compared with the prior model's fuel consumption decrease can also be because of the new start-stop system.

The dry sump lubrication finishes the technology bundle of the 5.2 FSI. As a conventional motorsport technology, it allows for low setup of the engine, which can be very valuable for the center of gravity of the car. What is more, in addition, it ensures oil supply under extreme lateral acceleration.

Quickly as exceptionally changeable and lightning: the power transmission

To some fast-transferring seven-rate S tronic transmission, power is carried in both engine variations. The S tronic has three modes that are automatic and also can be controlled. Full throttle acceleration is managed by the launching control system .

In these instances, the car as well as both clutches open goes into coasting mode. This function saves a significant amount of fuel, particularly in regular use by the client.

The quattro permanent all-wheel drive system provides the new R8 a crucial plus when it comes to grip and equilibrium in comparison with two wheel drive rivals. On the leading axle, an electrohydraulic multi-plate clutch replaces the forerunner model's Visco clutch. The recently developed quattro drive system enables fully variable and totally unrestricted distribution of the drive torque to the back and front axles determined by the driving scenario and weather. To the back wheels, up is carried in standard functioning and, if needed, the clutch always deviates up to 100 percent of the torque. As a result of the mechanical differential lock on the back axle, the motorist experiences maximum grip with no slide.
