V10 engine: the beating heart of the R8
It’s the familiar growl you love, but with extra bite. With 570HP, the roar of the new R8 is unmistakable.
The chassis: precision from every perspective
Key to the comfort and stability in the new R8 is the double aluminium wishbone axles that guide all four wheels. Modifications to the suspension provide razor-sharp precision when you need it most. It’s power to match the purpose.
The design: striking appearance
The new R8’s aesthetics upgrades are subtle yet impactful. The wider Singleframe grille and front splitter accentuate the tauter, more focused aesthetic, while thick air inlet bars and slits in the hood nod to the iconic Audi Ur-quattro brand. Inside the cabin there are a number of new colour and stitching options, giving you more opportunities to make the new R8, your new R8.
Interior: focus and elegance
Its proximity to racing is also noticeable in the interior of the Audi R8: directly in front of you, a large, contoured arc visually encompasses all the controls, imitating the driver-focused design of a monoposto car. In addition, the heated sports seats are electrically and pneumatically adjustable, and upholstered in high-quality Nappa leather. For the Audi R8 Coupé V10 quattro, there are new colour combinations: pastel silver with stone-grey contrast stitching, palomino brown with steel-grey seams and black with utopia-blue stitching. Of course, there is no limit to your individual requests. Audi exclusive has a variety of colour and material combinations for you.
The Audi virtual cockpit: keep the essentials in view
Engine start-up, exhaust sound, driving dynamics and gear changes can all be controlled from the buttons on the R8 performance steering wheel. A range of innovative technologies come as standard in the new R8 including MMI Navigation plus with Audi connect, Audi Drive Select, which lets you customise the drive to suit you, and the fully customisable Audi Virtual Cockpit, which replaces the traditional instrument cluster with a high-resolution 12.3” LCD screen.
