The R8 is the name of
Audi’s five-time Le Mans 24 Hours-winning racecar. It is also the chosen designation for Audi’s new flagship two-seat mid-engine sports car. Featuring an Audi Space Frame (ASF) aluminum body and a mid-mounted 420-hp V-8 engine with quattro permanent all-wheel drive, the R8 demonstrates Audi innovation and experience learned from years of involvement in motorsports. The two-seater looks, and handles, like nothing ever seen in an Audi showroom—from the forward-mounted cabin for optimal weight distribution, to the “side-blade” air deflector feeding and cooling the engine.
