| Audi R8 As
Audi AG owns Lamborghini (Automobili Lamborghini S.p.A.), 15% of the R8
is shared with the Lamborghini Gallardo, including the transmission and
chassis. The R8 is made distinct by its exterior styling, cabin,
engine, and pricing.
The Audi R8 V10 takes the prize for being
the first commercial vehicle to sport LEDs in everything. Headlights,
running lights, turn signals - LEDs are also used in the engine bay to
make the impressive V8 visible even at night.
At 7,800 rpm the
4.2-litre engine delivers 309 kW (420 bhp) of power output. Peak torque
is 430 Newton-metres from 4.500 to 6,000 rpm. And no less than 90 per
cent of this maximum torque is maintained consistently throughout a wide
engine speed range from 3,500 all the way to 7,600 rpm.
As a result of these qualities, the eight-cylinder power unit provides ample thrust in most driving situation to this luxury sports car.
