Breathtaking handling. Redesigned from the ground up, the second generation R8 has arrived. A high-revving 5.2-litre V10. Lightweight Audi Space Frame technology. And an S tronic transmission capable of gear changes within hundredths of a second. No model bearing the four Audi rings comes closer to giving you the adrenalin rush of the track in a series production vehicle. 4 5 From determination to podium. What does it take to succeed in motorsport? Expertise and passion, for sure. But it also takes daring. Daring, not just to enter a car with a TDI diesel engine into the world’s toughest endurance race, the 24 Hours of Le Mans – but to win it. Daring, a few years later, to introduce the R18 e-tron quattro, featuring hybrid technology, to the same race. And to win again. And again. It’s that determination to innovate that has led Audi to success after motorsport success, amassing a total of 13 Le Mans wins. And it’s with that spirit of innovation that we brought our most exciting developments to series production. The result is the Audi R8: the embodiment of Vorsprung durch Technik. 6 7 At home on the racetrack. With the Audi R8 LMS, we built an R8 to triumph on the track. And its record speaks for itself. Since 2009 the teams at the wheel have won 26 national and international titles, as well as 269 competitive races with the rear-wheel drive GT3 sports car. Now, the new lighter and even more powerful second generation LMS has arrived. Made to race, it shares around 50% of its parts with the R8 Coupé, including technologies like the Audi Space Frame and V10 engine. Clearly, the R8 is a car with motorsport in its genes. 8 9 R8 V10 Coupé The Audi R8 V10 has transformed. It’s lighter and flatter, with a more muscular stance than its predecessor. The naturally aspirated V10 engine offers even more power and torque than before, with 540PS and 540 Nm of torque. As a result, it can sprint to 62mph in 3.5 seconds, before powering on to a top speed of 198mph.* Inside, you’ll find a high level of standard equipment. MMI Navigation Plus with Audi Connect. Audi Drive Select, enabling you to tailor the ride to suit you. And the Audi Virtual Cockpit, which replaces the traditional dashboard with a stunning all-digital display. 10 *Where the law permits. 11 12 13 14 15 R8 V10 plus Coupé Performance to the extreme. Breathtaking: with 610PS and maximum torque of 560 Nm, the R8 V10 plus Coupé accelerates from 0–62mph in 3.2 seconds. Making it not just the fastest Audi production car in history, but also the first to reach 205mph. Where legal, of course. 16 17 Puts you firmly in control. With a new, responsive quattro all-wheel drive system, up to 100% of the R8’s torque can be transmitted wholly to the front or rear wheels, depending on road and weather conditions, for improved traction and grip. Gloss Carbon elements give the R8 V10 plus Coupé an unmistakable motor-racing look, while a fixed rear spoiler provides greater downforce for enhanced grip in corners. It’s just as formidable to hear. Activate the Performance mode on Audi Drive Select and the controllable exhaust flaps to enhance the R8’s signature engine sound. 18 19 20 21 R8 V10 Spyder Power up. Roof down. The Audi R8 V10 Spyder: the supercar that combines the breathtaking performance of the R8 with the open-top thrill of a cabriolet. It starts with a new 5.2-litre, 540PS FSI engine that produces 540 Nm of torque. An engine that doesn’t just accelerate from 0–62mph in 3.6 seconds; it’s one that also gives an intense audible performance. Especially when the roof’s down. 22 23 Looks that match the experience. As with the Coupé, the R8 V10 Spyder is lighter, flatter and more muscular in appearance than its predecessor. Along with the new distinctive sideblades, it’s the roof that marks out the Spyder. Available in three colours, it harmonises the dynamic lines of the car, tapering into two sporty air vent fins at the rear. Fully automated, the lightweight hood opens in 20 seconds at speeds of up to 31mph. And, once it’s stowed and you open the throttle, you’ll notice lower levels of wind and road noise than on previous Spyder models; thanks, in part, to a rear deflector that can be raised and lowered to suit you. 24 25 26 27 28 29 R8 V10 plus Spyder More power. More possibilities. How do you heighten the thrill of open-top driving in an Audi R8? Simple: add a specially tuned V10 plus engine that delivers 610PS and takes you from 0-62mph in 3.3 seconds. To match all this power, we’ve also included lighter, even more efficient ceramic brakes, specially designed to cope with the kind of heat generated during dynamic driving. 30 31 The great indoors. The ability to drop the roof isn’t the only thing that sets this car apart. Step inside and you’ll discover upgraded features like R8 bucket seats and Gloss Carbon inlays. Not to mention luxurious touches including Fine Nappa leather and stainless steel pedals that make every journey a pleasure – roof up or down. 32 33 34 35 R8 interior Everything focused on the driver. With its monoposto cockpit design, it’s no coincidence that, on climbing inside the R8, you get the feeling of being behind the wheel of a race car. Engine start-up, exhaust sound, driving dynamics and gear changes can all be controlled from the buttons on the R8 performance steering wheel. The interior boasts refined materials, precise workmanship and innovative technologies. And the new, fully customisable Audi Virtual Cockpit puts all the information you need directly in front you. 36 37 Vorsprung durch Technik Not just a slogan. A philosophy. Progress. It’s behind everything we do at Audi. It’s why we’re always developing new technologies to help you on the road. And new engines for the R8 that deliver enhanced performance and fuel economy. The Audi R8 Coupé and Spyder are the very latest steps on our journey of progress. 38 39 The high-revving, mid-mounted V10 engine sits directly behind the driver and gives the R8 a lower centre of gravity. And on Coupé it’s illuminated and visible through the rear window. There’s a choice of two engines on both the R8 Coupé and Spyder: the V10, which delivers 540PS of power, or the V10 plus – producing an astonishing 610PS. More power and more torque than the previous R8. And now, for the first time, with cylinder-on-demand and dual injection system. 40 ngine Performance takes centre stage. 41 Max power 540PS Max torque 540 Nm 0–62mph in 3.5 seconds Top speed 198mph R8 V10 plus Coupé Max power 610PS Max torque 560 Nm 0–62mph in 3.2 seconds Top speed 205mph R8 V10 Spyder Mid-engine: more traction, more control. Cylinder-on-demand: power when you need it. Dual injection: precise and powerful. The R8’s sporting lineage is evident in the mid-engine placement. With the engine near the centre, weight is favourably distributed towards the rear axle, giving greater traction and making cornering more agile and responsive. For the times when you don’t need the full power of the R8 V10, advanced cylinder-on-demand technology automatically shuts down five of the 10 cylinders. It’s something that can improve your fuel consumption, particularly in city traffic. The dynamic combination of intake manifold and direct injection in the high-revving V10 yields very short fuel injection times. The result is not just noticeable, improved power delivery; it also makes for enhanced cooling and lower fuel consumption. Coupled with the standard quattro all-wheel drive, performance is enhanced and road-holding is simply impeccable. Accelerate on the open road again, and within milliseconds, all 10 cylinders – and full engine power – are seamlessly back at your disposal. Max power 540PS Max torque 540 Nm 0–62mph in 3.6 seconds Top speed 197mph R8 V10 plus Spyder Max power 610PS Max torque 560 Nm 0–62mph in 3.3 seconds Top speed 204mph ngine R8 V10 Coupé quattro 42 Exceptional road holding whatever the road holds. Loose gravel. Icy patches. A tight bend in the rain. Conditions on the road are always changing, so quattro changes too. By constantly analysing your grip, automatically distributing power between all four wheels, to where it’s needed most. It’s made for the most challenging conditions of all: the ones you encounter every day. Whatever the road holds, you can be confident that quattro will react. 43 Sometimes, lighter means stronger. Thanks to the latest high-strength Audi Space Frame (ASF), the Audi R8 is even more agile on the road. The intelligent mix of aluminium and carbon makes the Coupé 40% and the Spyder 50% stiffer than previous models. Also the Coupé is almost 50kg lighter than its predecessor. And now for the first time, the ASF is directly linked to the Sport suspension for enhanced driving dynamics. You might not be able to see the difference, but it’s something you’ll feel at every corner. Power without compromise. Every part of the R8 is designed to give you the best possible performance at all times. The 7-speed S tronic transmission delivers gear changes within hundredths of a second and with virtually no break in acceleration. At the touch of a button, Audi Drive Select lets you adjust the R8’s configuration by matching the ride dynamic to the friction coefficient of the road. And for the first time, the newly developed quattro drivetrain also works with Audi Drive Select, enabling you to adapt the all-wheel drive system to suit you. So you can optimise the R8’s power for any kind of road condition. For any style of driving. 46 Perfo Performance 47 Total Audi craftsmanship. Each R8 is built almost exclusively by hand in a dedicated, new quattro GmbH production facility near Heilbronn in Germany. From the welding of the body shell to the completion of assembly, small, highly qualified teams give the R8 its unique shape. It’s an extremely skilled process, where robots are used only for peripheral, non-ergonomic tasks. And, with numerous specification variants and customisations, our teams very rarely build the same R8 twice. Making each handcrafted one as unique as its owner. Handcr Handcafted 49 aser Illuminating features. 50 The R8 leads the way with an optional feature you’ll find in no other Audi model: LED headlights with Audi Laser Light technology. At 37mph, four high-power laser diodes are activated by the high beam, sending out a narrow laser beam of white light that is not only brighter than the conventional LED high beam, but also reaches further, filling the driver’s lane with light. Illuminating the darkest corner. And showing you clearly what lies ahead. 51 The Audi Virtual Cockpit is a fully customisable digital display. Combining the functions of a central MMI monitor and conventional instrument cluster in one high-resolution display, it depicts information in razor-sharp, brilliantly clear, high-contrast quality. The choice of three views, ‘classic’, ‘infotainment’ or ‘Sport’, puts vital driver information right in front of you, with a flexible, responsive display so you feel in total control. 52 Virtual ockpit Customisable control. 53 Audi onnect 54 The world at your fingertips.
