New Audi R8

The New Audi R8 has been declared as a truly great supercar, and one of the only ones available that you can truly use everyday. Lets start with the engine, which is the wonderful 4.2 V8 as seen previously in the RS4, giving a full 414 bhp, which in the lightweight R8 will propel you from 0-60 in 4.5 seconds, (although motoring magazine EVO recorded it in 3.9 seconds!) The R8’s chassis is an all aluminium monocoque, and can be seen in detail on the recent Audi TV advert – “The slowest car we’ve ever built.” It shares much in the floorpan and suspension design with the Audi owned Lamborghini Gallardo, but ditches the Lambo’s expensive 4 wheel drive system for the familiar Audi Quattro 4 wheel drive unit, so as the engine and drivetrain are all current audi products, servicing and part are no more expensive than other Audis and reliability is proven, so no big bills or unexpected breakdowns that you would get in a traditional fragile supercar like a Ferrari. Driving the R8 is a sublime experience, the Quattro system weighted with a rear bias, so the car can be made to drift and kick out the rear should you want to, and the everyday theme is carried over into the fantastic way the suspension absorbs bumps on British roads.

Audi R8 4.2

The Audi R8 4.2V8 engine is the only one currently available, and a fantastic engine it is too. Fun to rev with a very linear power delivery. Audi has confirmed a V10 R8 is due late 2009, but no word as to the exact engine capacity yet, thought to be around the 5.0 mark, and meant to be normally aspirated like the engine in the Gallardo, rather than turbocharged like the unit in the RS6. Also not clear is the future naming policy, will it be called the R10, or maybe RS8? A 6.0 V12 diesel engine was shoehorned into the R8 as a concept car, which looked great and gave a tie up with the successful diesel powered Le Mans racing cars that Audi runs, but there have been mixed reports in the press about whether it will make production.

Audi R8 Manual

The Audi R8 Manual features an open aluminium gate to the 6 speed gearbox, a reference to Ferraris and other sports cars of old, it is a lovely box to use, with a short throw and a precise action, even making the bare metal clacking sound when you change. Some motoring press reports have noted that you do have to be precise with your gearchange from 2nd – 3rd as the gate itself can get in the way slightly, but it looks the business.

Audi R8 R Tronic Automatic

The Audi R8 R Tronic is the automatic version, and is a traditional Automatic torque converter gearbox, rather than an automated manual like the Lamborghini and Ferrari autos, or the double clutch DSG versions in the Porsche 911. It still features a set of paddle shifts behind the steering wheel, or can be used as a traditional auto and just put into drive. It remains to be seen whether Audi will release a F1 style gearbox into the R8, although now owned by Porsche the PDK box from the 911 could easily find its way to the R8 soon.

Audi R8 Convertible

Audi R8 convertible spyshots have been circulating the internet for a short while now, it looks good and Audi have officially confirmed that a convertible version should be seen sometime in 2010, with the biggest difference being the loss of the R8’s “sideblades”. Prices and specification have yet to be announced.

Audi R8 Specification

The Audi R8 Spec has been criticised as lacking compared to some cars like the Jaguar XKR, but this has enabled Audi to price the basic car very competitively, and is also typical Audi! the standard R8 Spec includes: LED Xenon Lights, 8 piston caliper brakes, CD Player with 140 watt sound system 7 speakers and colour display, retractable rear spoiler, 19” alloy wheels, quattro 4 wheel drive system, multifunction steering wheel, trip computer, nappa leather sports seats, and climate control. It is quite easy to add £10,000+ to the cost of the R8 by adding niceties such as Sat Nav, Carbon Sideblades, Acoustic Parking, Cruise Control, Ceramic Brakes, etc. even Metallic Paint is extra! There’s also a huge range of personalisation on offer via the ‘Audi Exclusive’ service.

Audi R8 Colours

The Audi R8’s list of colours is good: Ibis White and Brilliant Red are standard, the metallic and pearlescent colours are £700: Ice Silver, Jet Blue, Daytona Grey, Mugello Blue, Phantom Black and Monterey Green.

Audi R8 Prices

Audi pitched the R8 starting prices at just over the £79,000 mark, which is a fantastic price to own a genuine supercar, Sat Nav is a required extra for resale value although don’t get too carried away with the options list! Most dealers aren’t offering any discount on Audi R8 Prices, but here at Orangewheels we have some great discounts for you – just take a look!
