OH - AUDI AG - You have done it this time!
Audi R8 totally black grill... RS4 seats, S6 Led.. ++ They have taken all the best figures from the whole model line + Some Lamborghini!

Ps: I Hope The Audi History movie soon is on the web.

not confirmed yet but it looks like this is it


<1.400kg

315KW (428HP)

0-100 km/h (0-62,5 mph) ~4.1 sec

0-200 km/h (0-125 mph) ~12.1 sec

awesome performance, faster than Gallardo SE up to 200km/h

As you can see official figures are different:

420HP (309kW)

0-100 km/h in 4.6s

Eg. RS4 with same engine 0-100km/h in 4.8s

0-100 km/h in 4.6s
Impressive though.

What's impressive about that ?
Let's hope it's not that weak.

Does the car have an automatic or DSG? there is no clutch pedal in the interior shot.

it means an egear like system, or "f1" shifting system or smg. not dsg, not tiptronic

Audiholic beat me to it

The engine bay looks sweet - better than even Gallardo! Wish the steering had the aluminium finish at teh bottom like the RS4 ones, else the interior is again a class act from Audi. Wheels looks very similar to the M6 ones.

This car looks superb..so if I've ever said anything bad about this car...I apologize to AUDI...congrats to them on a near perfect car...now we just need some real world tests!

From the AUDI R8 configurator!

P.S. Check it out on audi.de !!
There you can have many options! You can choose the color on the side panels!!

This must be one of the few cases ever that the production car is better than the concept.

I agree. The concept was a very good looking car as well. I should also add that I think Audi has shamed Lamborghini with this car, just wait until the open top version comes out.

Great work with the configurator Audiholic!
