Meet the Audi R8

audi r8

The Audi R8 is a perfectly balanced, supremely designed, all-wheel drive sports car. It’s sleek layout is complemented with a 420 hp V8 4.2L FSI engine and rear-biased quattro(R) all-wheel drive system. A 4.4 second 0-60 time and a top speed of 187 mph proves it’s no slouch. The interior is equally as impressive and Audi’s flat-bottomed steering wheel is the perfect touch. Audi offers two transmissions, the six-speed manual or the six-speed R-tronic. The R-tronic transmission can be controlled using paddles on the steering wheel, capping off it’s super-car feel. Options include carbon-fiber “sideblade” exterior styling panels, a Bang & Olufsen premium stereo, a navigation system and upgraded napa leather. As if it couldn’t get any better, it’s priced far below the competition.
