Audi R8 V10 preview

If it weren’t for the sideblades, you could easily mistake this Audi R8 V10 for a banal V8. But the new Audi R8 V10 is up for some serious competition, and could give the Lamborghini Gallardo LP560 and co., a run for its money. The new Audi is seen as the maximum expression of fast sports style from the company.

The engine is a 5.2 litre V10 from the Italian car, but with a little less power and torque at 525hp and 530 Nm. The performance, though, comes off very similar, thanks to a 1,620 kg weight, the Audi R8 V10 reaches 100 km/hr in just 3.9 seconds. Maximum speed is 315 km/hr.

The aesthetic updates are limited to the lateral air intakes, front full LED headlights and 19-inch alloy wheels. After its debut at the Detroit motor show, the R8 V10 will be commercialised in the second quarter of 2009 at a price of about 142,400 euros.

    This may be the most lusted after car of the century. I can’t afford the real thing … yet, but I’ll have to settle for a shelf model of the Audi R8.
