The R8 is Audi's flagship sport car. Boasting a Lamborghini-derived chassis, Quattro AWD and the same 420 hp 4.2L V8 as the RS4, the R8 will be a rapid road-car. 0-100 km/h is achieved in just over 4 and a half seconds thanks in part to the car's relatively low weight of 1,560 kg. With a top speed of 301 km/h, the choice between a 6-speed manual and a 6-speed R tronic transmissions, the R8 requires, shared architecture with the Lamborghini Gallardo, the R8 should prove to be an incredible car to drive. Rumour has it that an R(S) 8 version could be in the works for sometime next year. IT would feature the Gallardo 500+ hp V10. The R8 will arrive in showrooms this fall.
