Audi R8 V10

67527454cu6.jpg


Spec:
- V10 5.2L N/A (525hp - 530nm)
- 316kmh - 0-100kmh (3,9s) . . . . not bad!!!!


Despite bringing us cracking soundtracks from the RS4’s V8 and the classic Quattro five-cylinder, Audi is not perhaps the first carmaker you think of when it comes to noise. That is all about to change thanks to the fact a V10 has just been strapped into the R8 supercar. It is of course a similar unit to that in Lamborghinis, and is currently doing service in the S6, and sounds absolutely glorious.

It becomes available in Germany from the second quarter of 2009 at a base price of €142,400.

The R8 V10 is a new version of the sports section receives an imposing German V10 of 5.2 liters, capable of delivering 525 horse power and 530 Nm of torque. The 3.9 seconds to perform the traditional acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h to 316 km/h maximum speed figures are capable of putting in order the more powerful versions of the Porsche 911. The transmission to four wheels is complemented by a manual box of six relations, or, optionally, the box "R-tronic" sequential automatic with steering wheel controls.

This version receives new entries from air side, optical front and rear with LED technology and two exits to escape, instead of four.

Still only an R Tronic? Why not the Veyron's gearbox? Plleeeease, Audi?

That's the reason they upgraded the Gallardo. I'd rather have the old Gallardo than this.

EDIT: I forgot the Veyron's transmission cost $120 grand. Ouch.

Lambo fixing pretty much all of the Gallardo's problems (even some most people didn't even know were there) makes this pretty pointless. Shoulda used the V12.
 
I seem to recall that they're adding nearly $60K to the sticker of the R8, which pretty much makes the car price itself out of a reasonable territory. I mean, c'mon, I can get an R8 and a S5 for that much.
 
A twin turbo eaks of super manly awesomeness. A diesel is just a diesel.

Id rather be on fire in an enraged hyperspeed twin turbo monster, eating all the feeble sheep and citroen at the side of the road than slipping quietly through the suburbs and getting good mpg in my diesel.
 
Who said anything about a Diesel? This is a normal-aspirated petrol V10.

Besides, do I have to bring out The Picture?

Wait... Since when have Audi's not sounded good? Maybe it's the engines, or VAG picked somebody up, but since VW is putting out these newer engines, they have all sounded great.

Why would it need the Veyron's transmission? They've started offering the V8 with the R-Tronic box, but since the V10 is running a Gallardo engine, I'm guessing it's more or less the same gearbox as the E-Gear in the Lambo. And there isn't much.

And we should be perfectly happy with the sequential manual. It could be running the regular tiptronic that's in the RS6...
 
This is the one we've been waiting for, right? Well, stats don't look bad, especially the 0-100.
 
in the first picture is regular Audi R8, not the V10. look at the sidescoops and rims. besides.. it's still just a mid-engined TT on extra dose of testosterone.
 
I still think this is too expensive for an Audi... you can get a Lambo or a Ferarri for similar money, and for me, they are both better overall purchase choices.

And those wheels are dreadful.

I have the same opinion . . . if I have +/- 145.000€ by sure I will choose another car, but remenber a new lamborghini and ferrari are more expensive than the R8!

With 150.000€ you just cant get a used Lamborghini or Ferrari!

I think the R8 V12 TDi will be a cool diferente supercar! Just because its diesel.

:D
