With numerous technical innovations, Audi has made motor racing history at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Until now, the brand with the four rings has achieved thirteen wins in this toughest long-distance race in the world. Plus there was the distance record from 2010: 5,410.71 kilometres were covered in one race. In 2012 and 2013, Audi started at Le Mans with the R18 e-tron quattro and a completely new technology – the hybrid drive. And won at the first attempt. This racing car furthermore secured the world championship title at the FIA World Endurance Championship in 2012 and 2013. In 2014, Audi triumphed with the R18 e-tron quattro once again at Le Mans and also set a new best value with respect to efficiency. By using ultra technologies, an optimised hybrid system and a newly developed 4-litre V6 TDI engine, a decrease in the fuel consumption of 22 percent compared to the previous year was achieved. To date, 100 wins in long-distance racing series around the world can be attributed to the Audi Le Mans prototypes (LMP) R8, R10 TDI, R15 TDI, R18 TDI, R18 ultra and R18 e-tron quattro. But the successes on the race track serve one core purpose: they are initiators for series innovations. Accordingly, you’ll find more than quattro, TDI, TFSI and hybrid drive in Audi standard models. Our most recent innovations, such as LED headlights with matrix beam technology and the laser light that were tested on the race track in tough conditions, are there as well. Audi lightweight technologies provide the decisive split-second lead on the race track, and on the road they offer noticeably more driving dynamics, improved driving performance, lower consumption and lower emission values. The demonstration of what is possible in terms of technology pioneers the technologies you will find in many Audi standard vehicles. 6 Audi R8 LMS 269 wins in the genes The new Audi R8 LMS. The Audi R8 LMS succeeded in putting, the R8 on the race track: since 2009 the teams in over 1,050 races have won 26 national and international titles as well as 269 races in the GT3 sport. These include the 24-hour classics Nurburgring, Spa and Daytona. In total, the Audi R8 drivers have appeared on the podium 745 times. The successor to the Audi R8 LMS lives up to these triumphs that can be traced back to the R8 – with the best basic prerequisites: The rear-wheel driven GT3 racing car deploys a power output of up to 430 kW* on the race track. Just like the vehicles competing in the DTM, aero-dynamic attachments provide for the necessary contact pressure. With the exception of the roof, all external attachments are made of carbon. Accordingly, the overall weight of the Audi R8 LMS has been reduced to only 1,225 kg*. Around 50 percent of the vehicle parts are taken from the R8 V10 Coupé, including impressive technologies such as the Audi Space Frame (ASF®) and the V10 engine. The Audi R8 LMS thus combines standard series and racing technologies, and stands out in particular thanks to its high reliability and performance. An ideal basis for successful motorsport. Audi race experience enables you to experience motor racing atmosphere first hand with the R8 LMS ultra: from individual training and acquiring a motorsport licence to participating in a race.

Transferred to the road. Audi Sport. Thrilling performance: whether it’s works motorsport, customer racing or our high-performance models – you’ll not get such a potent adrenalin rush anywhere else. Audi Sport utilises the expertise gained in motor racing to bring innovative technologies to series production. With unrivalled passion – for outstanding dynamism. 38 Performance Maximum power. Put to maximum use. The FSI® principle. Consequently dynamic: the 5.2-litre V10 high-speed engine with dual injection reaches a power output of 449 kW. With a maximum torque of 560 Nm the R8 V10 plus Coupé accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.2 seconds. Propulsion ends only at 330 km/h. The Audi R8 V10 Coupé brings a comparable performance to the road. With 397 kW and a maximum torque of 540 Nm, it sprints from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.5 seconds. In addition, the deep installation position of the V10 engine and the cylinder angle of 90° provide the R8 with a low centre of gravity. An even oil supply is achieved in conjunction with the dry sump lubrication used in motorsport and you can enjoy the torque and agility in every bend even at high lateral acceleration forces. The impressive combination of the inlet manifold and direct injection offers improved power delivery, low consumption and reduced exhaust emissions. And it complies with the strict guidelines of the EU6 emission standard. The engine runs even more efficiently with Audi cylinder on demand. Depending on the driving conditions in partial-load operation, the injection and ignition are switched off at a cylinder bank and only five, instead of ten, cylinders are active. Meanwhile the engine continues to run as quietly as ever and with improved consumption and emission values. Within milliseconds, the inactive cylinders can be switched on and the engine once again deploys its full power. Engine: the S tronic 7-speed dual-clutch transmission combines the advantages of a conventional manual transmission with those of a modern automatic transmission. Setting benchmarks in terms of sportiness, comfort and efficiency. Using two permanently active transmission parts and by changing the power-transmitting clutch, gear changes are enabled in hundredths of a seconds and with virtually no break in propulsive power. The start-stop system and the coasting mode further help to improve efficiency. The fuel consumption and CO₂ emission figures can be found on page 84. 40 quattro® Superb roadholding. The quattro® permanent all-wheel drive. Outstanding traction, improved handling dynamics and more driving safety – that is quattro. Hardly any other drive system around transfers the engine’s power to the road so effortlessly. In the Audi R8 Coupé a newly developed quattro drivetrain is deployed. An electronically controlled and hydraulically operated multi-plate clutch at the front axle and a mechanical differential lock at the rear axle enable controlled and sporty driving behaviour while maintaining outstanding traction. What is special here is that the drive torque can be variably distributed between the front and rear axle as required. In addition, the wheel-selective torque control counteracts undesirable wheel slip through targeted braking actions on all wheels. Depending on the weather and road conditions, it’s possible to further modify the permanent all-wheel drive. Linking the quattro software and Audi drive select, R8 V10 plus Coupé drivers are able to use performance mode to adjust the drive characteristics to the route conditions. The R8 V10 Coupé can also be equipped with the performance mode. The fuel consumption and CO₂ emission figures can be found on page 84. 42 Dynamics Bending the road to your will. Brake systems and suspensions. Brake systems Demonstrate power: with the standard 19-inch brake system in the Audi R8 V10 Coupé. The 8-piston fixed callipers at the front axle and the 4-piston fixed callipers at the rear axle take powerful hold at the wave brake discs. The cast friction rings have a waveshaped outer contour and are connected to the aluminium brake disc chamber by means of steel pins. This so-called floating mounting ensures that the friction ring remains largely tension-free, and improves stability when subjected to high temperatures. Axial perforation and cooling channels for internal ventilation increase the performance of the brake discs. The intelligent mix of materials and the characteristic geometry of the friction rings allowed weight to be reduced, thus also improving the balance of the unsprung masses. For even tougher requirements: the 19-inch ceramic brake system* at the front and rear – standard in the Audi R8 V10 plus Coupé. And optionally available for the Audi R8 V10 Coupé. The brake discs consist of carbon-fibre-reinforced ceramic material, a composite ceramic material made of hard silicon carbide. Even under high thermal stress their excellent deceleration and control are impressive. They also stand out thanks to their low weight. Moreover, the enormously firm and abrasion-resistant material increases the service life of the discs. * Please consult your Audi partner or national Audi website to find out more about the special features of the ceramic brake. Suspensions Show character: with the sport suspension in the Audi R8 V10 Coupé you will experience sporty, as well as self-assured driving. A double-wishbone axle is used for the front and rear suspension. What’s impressive about this construction that originated in motorsport is the resultant kinematics variance, highly precise wheel steering and excellent agility. The only way to achieve even more direct contact with the road and dynamic handling is with the stiffer spring/shock absorber combination of the Audi R8 V10 plus Coupé. Audi magnetic ride is optionally available for individual suspension tuning. Depending on the selected mode, the damping forces are adjusted to the corresponding driving situation in fractions of a second. Thus achieving uncompromising driving behaviour and significantly more comfort and dynamism. The electromechanical power steering with RS-specific characteristic curve also increases the sportiness. More control: a whole new generation of steering wheels appears for the first time in the Audi R8 Coupé. Depending on the model, it’s possible to control the engine start, exhaust flaps, Audi drive select and the performance mode with a single hand movement – using the R8 sport leather steering wheel with multifunction plus and two operating satellites or the R8 performance leather steering wheel with multifunction plus and four operating satellites which is optionally available for the R8 V10 Coupé. On request, the optional performance mode provides for a plus in dynamism in the R8 V10 Coupé. The fuel consumption and CO₂ emission figures can be found on page 84. 44 Audi drive select Reach your destination. The way you want. Audi drive select. Changing the character: with the standard Audi drive select in the Audi R8 V10 Coupé. Individual vehicle components can be influenced at the push of a button – including the engine, steering, permanent quattro allwheel drive and the transmission. Four different modes are available for drivers to adjust the R8 to each corresponding driving condition: auto, comfort, dynamic and individual. Auto for superior sporty quality. Comfort for longer journeys. Dynamic for ambitious driving. And individual, so you configure the individual components according to your preferences. Various optional systems can be configured, too. For example, the characteristic curves of the shock absorbers of the Audi magnetic ride. These can be varied in three stages: from balanced rolling in comfort mode through to sporty, direct responsiveness in the dynamic setting. The Audi R8 V10 plus Coupé is additionally equipped with the performance mode which is also optionally available for the R8 V10 Coupé. Thanks to the permanently assigned frictional coefficient parameters dry, wet and snow, drivers are able to actively adjust the R8 to the corresponding route conditions. For a plus in dynamism and safety. The fuel consumption and CO₂ emission figures can be found on page 84. 46 Laser light technology See and be seen. Audi laser light. An innovation with brilliance: the optional full-LED headlights with Audi laser light. The laser light technology is a revelation in lighting technology. It not only beams brighter than the conventional LED high beam, it also reaches twice as far. And provides more safety and comfort thanks to the increased range. From speeds of 60 km/h, four bundled high-power diodes with a wavelength of 450 Nm per headlight are used as the light source. The blue laser beams hit phosphor converter plates which transforms them into roadworthy white light. A reflector bundles the beams into an almost point-shaped source of light that focuses only on the car’s own lane thanks to narrow side illumination, resulting in a significantly improved visual range that is bound to win you over. Blue ambient lighting and the front indicators with dynamic display – additional highlights of the R8 V10 Coupé – also allow for an unmistakeable appearance. The fuel consumption and CO₂ emission figures can be found on page 84. 48 Audi Space Frame (ASF®) Innovative lightweight construction. Audi Space Frame (ASF®). Vehicle body rigidity made easy: for over two decades, the Audi Space Frame has been a convincing example of innovative lightweight technology. The high-strength aluminium frame structure is characterised by a high level of rigidity while at the same time being lightweight. With the R8 V10 Coupé, Audi presents a new body concept and the next evolutionary step of the Audi Space Frame. The multi-material construction design takes centre stage. The body of the new Audi R8 V10 Coupé, for example, is made up of a variety of components: 50 % extruded aluminium sections, 15 % aluminium sheets and 21 % aluminium cast nodes. In addition to the well-known materials, new materials are being used in the Audi R8 V10 Coupé for the first time – such as the carbon elements that make up the final 14 %. This, in combination, with the higher-strength aluminium alloys and the struts concept in the rear of the car, allowed for a further increase in body rigidity and reduction in weight – while improving the functional characteristics at the same time. In addition, the geometric lightweight construction improved power transmission. That is because the Audi Space Frame represents not only safety, but also increased performance and sporty handling. The fuel consumption and CO₂ emission figures can be found on page 84. 50 Manufacture Hand-made precision. Audi manufacture. Each Audi R8 is unique and bears its own personal style. Unlike in large-scale productions with fully automated processes, the R8 is mostly hand-made in the sports car manufacture of quattro GmbH. For example, the weld seams of the bodyshell are mainly manually created. Robots are used only for support for non-ergonomic production processes. Small, highly qualified teams give the sports car its unique shape and always comply with stringent Audi requirements – from assembling the body to putting on the finishing touches. After the body has been constructed, the most experienced employees assemble the R8 at 15 coordinated stations almost exclusively by hand. Due to the numerous equipment variants and customisation possibilities hardly any combination is created twice. The fuel consumption and CO₂ emission figures can be found on page 84. 52 Manufacture High-quality work down to the last detail. Audi quality management. The quality assurance engineers must meet the highest standards: their own. After completion, each car undergoes demanding quality control, because precision is a top priority at Audi. Each surface unevenness is detected. Even the slightest deviations from the most narrow clearance are noticed. Subsequently, each R8 is taken for a detailed road test drive which completes the comprehensive quality process. We have only one goal: to create an exceptional vehicle. The fuel consumption and CO₂ emission figures can be found on page 84. Equipment As unique as you are. The equipment options. Sportiness, comfort, design, functionality – whatever you demand of your Audi, it offers you a wealth of custom options. Audi equipment versions are varied and high-quality and you can tailor them entirely to your needs. Audi exclusive You have an exclusive character. So why shouldn’t your Audi have one too?

Alongside commercial success and international competitiveness, our responsibility toward company employees and society as a whole is a key consideration, as is protecting the environment and conserving resources. And what is true in the details – our catalogues are printed on FSC-certified paper – also holds in general: Audi develops cars that are not only sporty and emotive but also ever more efficient. In the long run, Audi wants its products to allow CO₂-neutral mobility. Seeing to it that production in Audi plants gradually becomes CO₂-neutral is another aspect of our comprehensive approach. Audi is also committed to society – particularly in the fields of education, technology and social projects. At Audi, sustainability is closely linked with how we see the future: the Audi Urban Future Initiative sees Audi working with international experts to get to the root of future urban challenges and trends in mobility. Discover the world of Audi. Choosing an Audi means choosing a brand that offers more. More individuality. More exclusivity. More fascination. The Audi experience The fascination of Audi can be experienced in many different ways. Audi City Berlin, Audi City London and Audi City Beijing, for example, give you digital access to all models in their actual size and in real time. And of course it is always worth visiting one of the major motor shows. This is where Audi always presents its new models and invites you to take a look at how the future is being shaped with “Vorsprung durch Technik”. Anyone interested in seeing how Audi is already putting this into practice will find fascinating insight in the “Vorsprung durch Technik” online special at www.audi.com. But a look back can also be rewarding: at the Audi museum mobile in Ingolstadt, history and high-tech go hand in hand. A total of 130 historic exhibits and state-of-the-art forms of presentation make for a thrilling symbiosis. Plus, Audi driving experience allows you to live the excitement and countless possibilities of current Audi models. Here, pure driving enjoyment is combined with valuable learning effects. This is ensured by a team of specially trained and highly qualified instructors who provide practical tips to help you optimise your driving skills. All this can now also be enjoyed at the recently opened Audi driving experience center in Neuburg, near Ingolstadt. Facilities here include a circuit of up to 3.4 kilometres that features challenging combinations of bends, a 30,000 m² dynamic driving area and an offroad section where Q models can be put through their paces. www.audi.com Team spirit Motorsport is a driving force behind the brand. For years Audi has been among the champions in various racing series, for instance the 24 Hours of Le Mans or the DTM German Touring Car Masters. The values that are crucial in many different areas of sport are also central ones for Audi: precision, passion and technology. No coincidence then that Audi has been sponsoring sporting events for many years. In the world of winter sports, for example, Audi has been the main sponsor of the German Ski Association (DSV) for almost three decades and has also partnered 16 other national alpine teams. In football, we support national and international teams. And Audi is also a partner for the German Olympic Sports Confederation.
