The New Audi R8 official launch

Audi presents the second generation of its high-performance R8 sports car. The V10 mid-engine and a newly developed quattro drive ensure breathtaking driving performance, especially in the top-of-the-range version with 449 kW (610 hp): achieving 0 to 100 km/h (62.1 mph) in just 3.2 seconds, its top speed is 330 km/h (205.1 mph).

The 5.2 FSI is available in two versions: one with 397 kW (540 hp) and another sporting 449 kW (610 hp). The range-topping model accelerates in a mere 3.2 seconds from 0 to 100 km/h (62.1 mph) and keeps going to its maximum speed of 330 km/h (205.1 mph). The sound of the freely aspirated V10 engine, whose maximum torque is available at 6,500 rpm, has become even fuller and sharper. A 7-speed S tronic transmission and a newly developed quattro drive system transmit the power to the road. The distribution of the drive torque adapts to the respective driving conditions – in extreme cases, 100 percent of the torque can be transmitted to the front or rear axle. The new performance mode in the Audi drive select dynamic handling system enables adaptation of the most important ride dynamics parameters to the friction coefficient of the road.

Sales of the new Audi R8 start in summer 2015. Prices are 165,000 euros for the R8 V10 and 187,400 euros for the top-of-the-range version R8 V10 plus.

Go ahead, it's free!

All the Best.

Front lights are too simple, fixed rear wing?
This car is going backwards in terms of design.

[Thunderboardautos]

I love the fact that it still has a V10! that noise!

[Javonn_]

Ever since they redesigned the Q7 everything has been going downhill in terms of design

[voluted]

Looks more like a mid-cycle refresh than an all new vehicle. Still pretty to me, though!

[kserug]

Front reminds me of the Quattro concept, I like it!!

[MartinUnited]

I know Audi owns Lamborghini, but seriously? I can barely tell the difference now. The old one looks better in my opinion.

[tokekkk]

The headlights is way too simple, i prefer the previous gen R8 V10+ LED galore to compensate with the simplicity of the body design. The DRL silhouette is too much similar with A3.

[MrMagnificentMedia]

I think since Audi started going for this more square-ish design language I've been less impressed with what they've been showing.

[MojeYTube]

they didn't fuck it up like with new Q7

[MethDuck]

I know everyone is saying it but I can't help agree, the design is no longer unique. However there is no doubt this is an amazing car. Still a favorite. 

[MMMCLXXX]

For doctors and dentists the world around.

[grabir]

Did the Germans address the reliability issues? 

[justchilling]

The R8 and new TT look too much the same now.

[NotCommanderShepard]

Looks like the first complete mistake in the new Audi design language. Q7 has some saving features but they totally ruined the R8.

[bluebag]

In my personal opinion, previous version is better than this. This is too normal. This doesn't look like a supercar.

[cleavland]

Sure its fine as a daily driver but I need something special to set me apart from others because I have seriously low self-esteem. 

[michaelism]

I prefer new interior, old exterior. Not good as 488

[Benny]

Very disappointing. The old car was ugly and this hasn't improved much.
