Audi R8 V10 RWS: For Those About To Drift

There will be both Coupe and Spyder variants, but unfortunately only 999 people will be able to put into their garage the first R8 with rear wheel drive only. RWS stands for “rear wheels series” and represents an important step for the Four Rings brand, who have finally decided to listen the requests of sideways lovers. Clearly, the R8 has always been synonymous with great performance and usability, but knowing that you won’t sweat too much to make it slide through corners, definitely boosts salivation in our mouth, bringing on the road the experience gained in motorsport with the R8 LMS.

Then you’ll deal with its V10 outputting 540 HP and 540Nm of torque, which is also one of the latest aspirated engines in the category. Performance that despite the bite of the rear wheels alone, remains excellent, with a 0-100 in 3.7 seconds (for the coupe) and 3.8 (for the spyder) and a top speed of 320 per hour (coupe, 318 for the spyder). Prices range from € 140,000 to € 153,000, with first deliveries scheduled for beginning of 2018.
