the production version made its debut at the Paris Motor Show in the guise of the new Audi R8 mid-engine sports model. Audi has incorporated the name and the genes of the five-time Le Mans winner, the Audi R8, into a spectacular sports car.The R8 combines Audi's experience gained from numerous motor sport triumphs with groundbreaking design and the acknowledged technological expertise of the brand.
The design of the strikingly three-dimensional main headlights, using LED technology, is particularly eye-catching. At 7,800 rpm the 4.2-litre engine delivers 309 kW (420 bhp) of power output. The performance figures are equally impressive: the R8 accelerates from a standstill to 100 km/h in 4.6 seconds and reaches a top speed of 301 km/h. Priced at $ 80,000 - $ 110,000, the Audi R8 will be available to order from 28 September 2006; first deliveries will be made in the first half of 2007.
