Audi R8 in Kemora Grey Driving on the track

Description

Instant response, lightning-fast high-revving and a unique sound - the heart of the Audi R8 is its V10 naturally aspirated engine. It is available to customers in two output ratings. The almost identical drive technology of the V10 engine in the R8 LMS GT3 and R8 LMS GT4 is put to good use on the racetrack. The V10, which is produced at the engine plant in Gyor, Hungary, is very compact. A separate radiator controls the temperature of the engine oil, which comes from a dry sump. This principle was adopted from motor racing and allows for an extremely low installation position of the engine, producing a low center of gravity. The pump module operates with multiple suction stages and assures proper lubrication under all conditions - including during lateral acceleration of around 1.5 G, which is possible in the R8. Both engines have a gasoline particulate filter.Modifications to the suspension provide even more stability and precision. The assistance has been retuned both with the optional dynamic steering and the electromechanical power steering: Steering response and the feedback from the road come across as even more precise across the entire range of speeds.Depending on the selected engine, the three additional programs dry, wet and snow are added to the well-known Audi drive select modes with the performance mode. They adapt the key dynamic parameters to the friction coefficient of the road. Thanks to the enhanced Electronic Stabilization Control (ESC), the top-of-the-line model brakes from 100 km/h (62.1 mph) to a standstill up to 1.5 meters (4.9 ft) earlier; the stopping distance from 200 km/h (124.3 mph) is up to five meters (16.4 ft) shorter - in each case depending on the exterior conditions.

Since its launch in the U.S. in 2008, the brand halo and pinnacle of performance for Audi achieved iconic status both on and off the track, winning the World Performance Car of the Year in 2008 and in 2016 as well as proving its authenticity on the track by winning every major endurance race around the world. The R8 continues the Audi strategy of proving its race technologies on the track and bringing those technologies to the road. That same strategy will be brought to bear as the brand shifts toward electrified performance with its entry to Formula 1 in 2026.

    Audi Sport GmbH will be celebrating the tenth anniversary of the Audi RS Q3 in 2023 with a particularly sporty version: the RS Q3 edition 10 years. And with the TT RS Coupé iconic edition, Audi is celebrating the success story of a quarter-century of the Audi TT Coupé. As a design icon and athletic sports coupé, the TT RS has shaped the brand just as much as the Audi R8 has as a super-sportscar. Since 2009, R8 has meant a 5.2 FSI ten-cylinder naturally aspirated engine, representing a core of the brand’s DNA. With up to 60% matching parts between the production model and the LMS race car, no other model from Audi Sport GmbH is closer to motorsports than the R8. It delivers top performance and is designed for maximum dynamics – and that’s exactly what it shares with the RS 3, which could not be further away in the portfolio. A compact sports car suitable for everyday use on the one hand, and a high-performance sports car on the other. Different vehicle segments, different drive concepts, but the exciting driving experience is available from the smallest Audi Sport model to the largest.
