Audi R8

Brand New Base Price:  £76,825

The 2007 Audi R8 was built to take your breath away. Audi’s leading designers have pushed the boundaries of racing technology, futuristic construction and luxury refinement to deliver a genuine masterpiece. The R8’s features include a centrally-mounted, high-revving V8 petrol engine, Audi Space Frame (ASF) construction, front and rear double wishbone suspension and the stability of quattro four-wheel-drive.

Styling
Low and wide, the new Audi R8 crouches on the road, waiting for just one thing: the driver’s command to spring into action. The Audi single-frame grille adapted to the proportions of a sports car, the colour-contrasting sideblades (available optionally in Oxygen Silver or Carbon Sigma), the LED rear lights and daytime running lights… this is a car designed to take your breath away.

Engine
The new Audi R8 combines the time-honoured hallmarks of the best of the classic sports cars with futuristic construction, transmission and suspension technologies. All this is underpinned by the steadfast reassurance of the quattro four-wheel-drive system. The high-revving V8 petrol engine delivers 413 bhp (420PS), instantaneous response and a very thrilling engine sound. This punches the R8 through the 62mph (100kph) barrier in just 4.6 seconds. Audi’s exclusive FSI technology means a higher power output, higher torque, lower fuel consumption and reduced exhaust emissions.

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. 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.
