Audi R8
Audi R8 ý one of the fastest cars. The German automaker, Audi, in 2007 introduced a sports car with mid-engine design for a whopping US$113,150. It started hitting the ramp at the auto shows and other events in 2006 for the first time. The design is based on the Lamborghini Gallardo. It should be noted that Audi owns the Lamborghini Spa completely. The car was originally a racecar. Audi had decided as early as 2005 to use the racecar as a base for a new road car, which was the Audi R8. It also borrows heavily from Audi Le Mans quattro concept car. The Audi R8 was officially launched on the 30th of September 2006 at the Paris Motor Show.
The Audi R8 is fitted with an engine at ýmid-shipsý. This basically means that the engine is housed between the front and rear axles. The engine has a 4.2 liter capacity, with its DOHC FSI technology producing 420 hp. This dream of a car has an acceleration of 0 to 60 mph in 4.4 seconds. It is the same engine as the one used in Audi RS4.
The car has amazing thrust with the torque going as high as 317 lb-ft. This car achieves a top speed of 187 mph. The Audi R8 also comes equipped with disc brakes, dry-sump lubrication and four-link suspension, Quattro all wheel drive and Servotronic steering. There is also an option between manual six-speed transmission and the ýR tronicý (single clutch semi-automatic) transmission. Originally there used to be an additional option of a double clutch gearbox but that option is no longer available.
It weighs approximately 1560 kg. The Audi R8 goes high tech in its suspension capabilities with magneto rheological dampers. These are controlled using a magnetic fluid and which is in turn controlled using an electromagnet. This is used to sense the change in the road conditions and protect the passengers from it, providing the ultimate driving experience.
The R8 closely resembles the Lamborghini Gallordo and deviates from it dramatically only when it comes to styling, design, engine and pricing. The Audi assures its drivers of a totally secure experience ensuring that the Audi R8 is equipped with side impact protection, crash sensors, ESP and an extremely rigid bodyshell in addition to the standard features of airbags, central locking system and the rest.
The Audi R8 also boasts of a Bang & Olufsen stereo system and Carbon Ceramic composite breaks. Add to this the BI-XENON headlights, which uses electronically controlled gas discharge lamps, an Oxygen Silver or Carbon sideblade, a retractable rear spoiler, reinforced bumpers, twin tailpipes and a single frame grille in high gloss black and you have one sweet ride.
The Audi R8 is definitely easy on the eye and one of the sweetest rides present in the market. The inside of the car is just as mouth watering as the outside, with sports seats, a multi-function three-spoke steering wheel, and auto-dimming interior mirrors. But what takes the interior to a whole new level is the Alacantra, a suede-like fabric, which is used for the upholstering. This car is widely touted as the only car that can actually better the Porsche 911 experience, which is considered to be the ultimate in sports cars.
