New Audi R8 Spyder

The stunning Audi R8 Coupé is a head-turner, showcasing the brand’s athletic design approach and most powerful engine technology. As a result, the car is a consistent award-winner and firm favourite with adventure-seeking drivers.

Being the pinnacle of Vorsprung Durch Technik, the R8 showcases all of the greatest features in Audi design and technology. Developed and honed on the track and enjoyed on the road, the R8 assures supercar levels of performance with Audi comfort, entertainment and safety all added to create a supercar without the traditional drawbacks.

Audi has styled the car as a clear tribute to the iconic Le Mans event, with added air intakes across the model’s sleek body. The R8 is built around the Audi Space Frame, a lightweight aluminium and magnesium chassis that reduces both wind resistance and overall fuel consumption.Large air intakes front and rear draw air in to cool the engine as well as the optional ceramic discs. Whilst carbon fibre is found across the side intakes to hint at Audi’s weight saving accomplishments.

The car is equally race-inspired across the interior, with a two-seat cabin layout completed by heated sports seats and Nappa leather upholstery. The multifunction leather steering wheel includes sporty gear shift paddles if you select an S tronic gearbox. Making hands-free calls via Bluetooth as you drive has never been simpler, as Audi has built microphones into the seatbelts for your convenience.

The engines, which push the Coupé to perform at supercar standards, include a top-end 5.2-litre V10 with 525bhp and 550bhp when selected as the V10 Plus. The model can post a 0-60mph time of less than 5 seconds, with Audi quattro technology maintaining power and traction as the commanding ceramic disc brakes provide greater braking performance whilst also being lighter than their steel counterparts.
