More Powerul and Sharper: This Is The Updated Audi R8

Since it has seen the light, the R8 has always represented at best the traits of the typical supercar with muscles and horsepower, but perfectly able to be used every day, thanks to an excellent on board equipment, plenty of comfort and an aggressive look all in all sober, in perfect Audi style. With the second series presented in 2015, the performance bar has been raised even more and now is the moment of the mid-life facelift, with the introduction of numerous aesthetic and mechanical touches that keep it among the best today’s super sports cars.

The front has been partially revised thanks to the new and wider single frame mask and with a new layout of air intakes, new splitter and slots at the base of the hood. There are new 19-inch wheels and you can opt for a set of 20-inch ultralights, as well as for the carbon-ceramic system, but what matters most beats obviously behind the driver’s seat, where you can have an aspirated V10 FSI capable of delivering 570hp and 550Nm of torque or a 610hp and 580Nm V10 of the Performance version. Both, including the spider boast a 0-100 in the order of 3 seconds (3.4 and 3.5 respectively for the 570hp Coupe and Spider, 3.1 and 3.2 for the Performance Coupe and Spider) and top speeds ranging from 322 per hour to 331 of the most performing of the two.
