The new Audi R8 V10 has been given a fantastic review by Motors-Merseyside.co.uk
They say:
‘This is the epitome of sophistication on four wheels and with just 150 examples coming to the UK every year the R8 5.2 FSI quattro will be as exclusive as they come.
The acceleration is mind blowing at 3.9 seconds and, if it’s relevant, the max is a claimed 196mph.’
Motors-Merseyside also go on to say:
‘Other supercars can feel heavy, twitchy and fussy – not this Audi. It is beautifully balanced, simple to keep under control yet astonishing when it comes to letting its hair down.
No other car has such a blend of performance making it a supercar which can be used in any condition. For many this will be the ultimate dream of automotive sophistication. This is going to be one sought after car.’

The Audi R2 is a high-performance two-seater cabriolet and is being developed with sister company VW.
The engine line-up is to include a mix of 2.0-litre four cylinder and 2.5-litre five-cylinder turbocharged petrol units. A diesel version is being considered, but it’s not likely to be offered from launch.
All R2 models will offer a choice between six-speed manual and seven-ratio R tronic semi-automatic gearboxes.
The performance of this new Audi sports car should be fantastic, with power outputs ranging from 200bhp to a spectacular 380bhp.
The Audi R2 continues to develop the company’s successful design theme as the tail-lamps of the new car will be sculpted to mimic the Q of its famous Quattro badge.
Inside, the high-quality cabin is likely to share much of its equipment with the BlueSport. That means an enormous touchscreen cabin control set-up, as well as lightweight sports seats.
As well as this, a clever heating system inspired by the innovative ‘headscarf’ system offered in Mercedes’ SLK is integrated into the seatbacks.
The Audi R2 is expected to be launched in 2012, with a starting price of around £30,000.
Audi Sport Team Joest is partaking in the notorious 12-hour race at Sebring, Florida on 21 March with two Audi R15 TDI’s.
The US endurance classic will act as stern test and dress rehearsal for the 24 Hours of Le Mans in June.
Fourtitude says the new Audi R15 TDI is packed with numerous technically innovative detail solutions and differs significantly from its predecessor model the R10 TDI which was undefeated at Le Mans.
Head of Audi Motorsport Dr. Wolfgang Ullrich explains: ‘So far the R15 TDI has performed as we expected. Now it must also prove itself in race conditions. Sebring is a particularly hard race and is therefore perfectly suited to reveal even the smallest of weaknesses.’
The Audi R8 triumphed on its debut at Sebring and on the premiere of the R10 TDI in 2006 Audi landed the first victory worldwide for a diesel powered sports car.
In total Audi has won the 12-hour race at Sebring eight times, not bad eh!
The Audi R8 is known to be a super sports car with its centrally mounted V8 engine, aluminium body and amazing stability, but what people don’t know is the Audi R8 has a great fuel efficiency compared to other sports cars.
Top Gear has put together five of today’s top sports cars in a race to find out which one of them is the most fuel efficient. Racing against the Audi R8 there was a Mercedes Mclaren, an Aston Martin DBS, a Ferrari 599 and a Lamborghini Murcielago.
Each one of those cars were filled with one gallon of petrol and they raced until they run out of petrol, the Ferrari was the first one to stop after only 1.7 miles the second to stop was the Aston Martin DBS, followed by the Mercedez, the Lamborghini stopped after impressive 4.1 miles but the great champion was the Audi R8 with exactly 5 miles covered.
Full LED headlamps are now available as an option for the Audi R8, this new option joins other very well-known high-tech components such as the aluminum Audi Space Frame, ceramic brakes and the mid-mounted V8 engine with FSI technology.
In addition to the standard Audi-signature 24-LED running lamps, LED high and low beam headlamps, LED turn signals are to the front fascia of the Audi R8.
Audi R8’s full LED headlamps are equipped with 54 high-performance LED’s to provide all lighting functions. With a lower energy consumption requiring a lower voltage and a colour similar to daylight offer advantages at night and a greater contrast to be easier on the human eye.
The €3,590 option rounds off the list of equipment available for the high-tech, mid-engine sports car.
Presumably, over time, this innovation will move down the range to other Audi’s in the same way the ABS breaking was initially an option on more expensive cars before becoming available across the full range.
At the weekend at the Nurburgring 24-hour race, a Privateer Race prepared Audi R8 is set to make its debut.
This is by no stretch of the imagination a standard Audi R8, and is therefore being entered in the SP7 class by a German team called 24h-Project 2008: Blue-Tec (and before you ask, we have absolutely no idea what that name means).
The race prepped R8 has had its stock engine changed to race-spec four-litre engine putting out 530bhp and 353lb ft of torque… all in a car weighing just over a ton – OH YES (as Jeremy Clarkson would say).
In addition it has a lightened chassis, and features improved aero packages, high-mounted exhaust pipes and a diffuser.
After popular demand we have now added wallpapers for Audi A3 Cabriolet, Audi Cross Cabriolet, Audi TTS and even the R8 TDI Concept car.
