No model with the four rings is closer to motorsport, none is more striking and more dynamic: at the Geneva Motor Show<\/strong>, Audi<\/strong> is presenting the second generation of its high-performance R8<\/strong> sports car.<\/p>\n

The sporty spearhead of Audi<\/b><\/h2>\n

A high-reviving mid-engine with superior performance, a consistently lightweight construction concept and an extremely dynamic chassis with quattro drive system and fully variable torque control \u2013 this is what makes the R8<\/strong> the sporty spearhead of Audi<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The high-performance sports car has been newly developed from the ground up \u2013 it is more taut, more striking and more fascinating both on the race track and on the road.<\/p>\n

The design reflects the powerful sporty character of the R8<\/strong>. A visual distinguishing feature which also provides enhanced safety comes in the form of the standard LED headlights. For an extended field of vision and more brightness, Audi<\/strong> offers the laser spot for the high beam as an option \u2013 complemented by the dynamic turn signals at the front. Dynamic turn signals are standard at the rear.<\/p>\n

In the new Audi<\/strong> virtual cockpit, the displays are digital. The most important controls are grouped together in button clusters on the steering wheel, also known as satellites.<\/p>\n

In the interior, the driver has the impression of sitting in a race car. The air conditioning controls emphasize the simplicity of the control panel with its floating effect. MMI navigation plus with MMI touch is standard.<\/p>\n

The engines: 10 cylinders in two versions\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n

The new R8 V10<\/strong> plus is the most powerful and fastest series-production Audi<\/strong> of all time.<\/p>\n

The 5.2 FSI is available in two versions: one with 397 kW (540 hp) and another sporting 449 kW (610 hp).<\/p>\n

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).<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

The distribution of the drive torque adapts to the respective driving conditions \u2013 in extreme cases, 100 percent of the torque can be transmitted to the front or rear axle.<\/p>\n

The new performance mode in the Audi<\/strong> drive select dynamic handling system enables adaptation of the most important ride dynamics parameters to the friction coefficient of the road.<\/p>\n

Sales of the new Audi R8<\/strong> start in summer 2015. Prices are 165,000 euros for the R8 V10<\/strong> and 187,400 euros for the top-of-the-range version R8 V10 plus<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
