Whichever way you look at the new Audi R8: This high-performance sports car combines pure aesthetics with even more power. The new Audi R8 demonstrates with every trip that concentrated power and elegance are perfectly compatible. After a comprehensive update, the super sports car convinced by modified suspension components with a more dynamic handling. And with its even more distinctive exterior design, no other Audi is as close to racing as the Audi R8.
The honed character of the new R8 models also becomes clear visually. The Singleframe radiator grille has a wider, flatter line. Thick bars divide up the large air inlets. Flat slits in the hood are reminiscent of the Audi Ur-quattro brand icon. The new front splitter is now wider, as is the striking low-set air vent grille at the rear. The grille rounds off the diffuser that extends quite some way up.
The Wheels in Detail
The new Audi R8 is equipped with factory-installed 19-inch wheels. Ultralight 20-inch fully milled wheels in five-V dynamic design with new summer and sport tires, which convey even more precise handling, are available as an option. Audi offers ceramic brake discs as an alternative to the standard steel discs. The stabilizer at the front is optionally made from carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) and aluminum, which cuts weight by around two kilograms (4.4 lb).
