The Audi R8 features a very unique style that puts it up there with the elite sports cars from makers such as Porsche and Ferrari. Firstly, you will probably notice how wide and low the vehicle is. By doing this, Audi presents the R8 as a true road warrior that should not be taken lightly by the critics.
Another cool style note is that the engine compartment is located behind the driver and in front of the rear suspension and wheels. Furthermore, the engine is also visible to anyone who glances at the vehicle due to the transparent cover over the engine.
While the Audi R8 is an extremely impressive vehicle, the automotive giant has made it very clear that they will be producing a limited number of these units. While this would seem obvious due to the fact that the R8 has to be built by hand, Audi claims that they will ensure “exclusivity” by limiting the number of vehicles being made, especially those being made for customers in the United States. Audi reports that they will manufacture no more than 400 of their R8 sports car per year for customers in the United States. Similar numbers are expected, though not confirmed, in Europe.
Finally we have added more information about Audi R8 engines:
- 4.2L V8 FSI
- 5.2L V10 FSI
- 6.0L V12 TDI
The Audi R8 will feature an optional Bang & Olufsen sound system. For those who aren’t familiar with the Bang & Olufsen brand, they are a Danish company that specializes in high end electronics, including high end audio products.
The Audi R8 will be treated to products from their Beosound line. The systems will be similar to the systems provided to the S5, Q7, and A8 models, as Bang & Olufsen provides systems to these models along with the R8.
Bang & Olufsen are known for providing sound systems with high quality, which will complement the $100,000 USD plus Audi R8 in a positive way.
