Audi R8 debuts at Paris Motor Show


Audi undraped the Audi R8 sports car in Paris. Three years after the unveiling of the Audi Le Mans quattro concept car, 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. It is a fascinating driving machine and the sporty pinnacle of the Audi brand. The mid-mounted 420 bhp V8 FSI engine, quattro permanent four-wheel drive and Audi Space Frame aluminum body form the basis for truly outstanding driving dynamics. The R8 combines Audi's experience gained from numerous motor sport triumphs with groundbreaking design and the acknowledged technological expertise of the brand. Form follows function: this design principle is implemented throughout the Audi R8. The Audi R8 sits broad and squat on the road, the strongly accentuated rear end appearing to flex its muscles like a sprinter ready for the off.
