AUDI R8 SPYDER V10 PERFORMANCE RWD with 570 hp
The Audi R8 V10's RWD (rear-wheel drive) performance is the new sporting vanguard of Audi's rear-wheel drive sports cars. The basic versions of both models, the R8 V10 quattro and the R8 V10 RWD as Coupé and Spyder, will be replaced by the new performance models. This puts the R8 model range more firmly in the top position.
This mid-engined sports car leaves others in the dust, accelerating from zero to 100 km/h in 3.7 seconds (3.8 seconds for the Spyder) with a top speed of 329 km/h (327 km/h for the Spyder). ). The crown jewel of the new R8 is the renowned 5.2-liter naturally aspirated V10 FSI engine with unrivaled sound, lightning-fast reaction and incredible liveliness. In the R8 V10 RWD performance, the aggregate has an output of 570 hp and brings up to 550 Nm of torque, which it distributes to the rear wheels with its seven-speed S tronic. That's 10 newton meters more torque than the Audi R8 V10 RWD. A mechanical limited-slip differential ideally distributes torque based on the driving situation, ensuring main traction even when the roads are wet. As with all R8s, the body is constructed from aluminum using the Audi Space Frame (ASF) design, with large parts made from carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP). The Coupé version of the RWD performance R8 V10 therefore weighs a mere 1590kg, with the Spyder version weighing in at 1695kg.
Suspension and driving dynamics are specifically balanced for rear-wheel drive. When Sport Mode is activated in Electronic Stabilization Control (ESC), suspension setup and control systems allow for controlled drifts. Electromechanical power steering provides close contact with the road. Dynamic steering, available for the first time for the rear-wheel-drive R8, provides even more precise reaction and feedback. This makes driving more dynamic through more direct driving, for example on winding roads or when turning. It also increases comfort by making driving easier, such as when parking or manoeuvring. The RWD sport suspension is specifically adapted for rear-wheel drive, has double wishbones and passive differential lock. The axis distribution is 40:60. Extra lightweight 19-inch and 20-inch cast aluminum wheels ensure precise handling and lane control in fast cornering.
The overly sporty design is inspired by its GT4 siblings. Elements of this include the wide, flat Singleframe radiator grille in matte black with an R8 badge flanked by large air intakes, the front splitter and rear air outlet grille, as well as the oval tailpipes. The slit under the hood is reminiscent of the legendary Audi Sport quattro. The new R8 is available in ten color options. One of them is Ascari Blue Metallic, a color that was previously only available for the quattro R8 V10 performance.
The slim lines of the design also set the tone inside the car. Its most eye-catching element is the “Monoposto” – the large, heavily contoured arch that spans the area in front of the driver's seat and strongly resembles a racing driver's cabin.
