The history of the car "Audi R8" takes its start in 2006 - it was then that the production version of the car debuted in Paris. True, it was preceded by the conceptual sports car demonstrated in Frankfurt in 2003. However, it should be noted that this is the case when the serial version is not much different from its predecessor.
New level
I want to say that the release of Audi R8 has become a very important event for the whole company. Together with him, the entire concern for the first time in his life entered the list of those companies that manufacture the most expensive sports cars. The company has reached a whole new level and has earned a higher status in the automotive industry.
This model very successfully combines the experience of the concern, the latest developments, the best modern technologies and a completely special design. Therefore, it is not surprising that this model made a splash in the automotive industry.
Design and layout
So, if we talk about the appearance of the “Audi R8” (photos of the car clearly demonstrate its luxurious design), the first thing to note is the diode ribbons made of tiny flashlights that are built into the headlights. Decorative body panels located on the side also stand out.
It is also interesting that all the optical devices in the car are LED - including even brake lights and direction indicators. Diodes have certain advantages over conventional incandescent lamps. Firstly, their work lasts much longer, secondly, less energy is used and, finally, they are smaller in size. The body, by the way, is also quite compact. The lines of the model are swift, smooth and graceful - such a design perfectly emphasizes the traditional round wheel arches.
Interior decoration
As for the cabin, one thing can be said here: to be in it is a pleasure. The most comfortable seats, taking the form of the back of the driver and passengers, space in the legs, everything is designed in the same style. There is not even the slightest detail that could be a hint of negligence - exceptionally expensive high-quality materials and genuine leather. To control the dashboard is very simple, because it contains only everything you need. In addition, she even turned a little towards the driver, so that it was easier for him to navigate.
Engine - a measure of power
This car is equipped with an eight-cylinder V-engine, which is characterized by excellent performance. Its motor is located in the central compartment - as intended by the manufacturer. The company's engineers specifically designed a special spatial frame. The maximum power that the engine can give is 420 horsepower, and the torque indicator reaches 43.8 kg / m (4500-6000 rpm).
301 km / h - this is the maximum speed at which the Audi R8 can go. In order to accelerate to 100 km / h, very little time is needed - only 4.6 seconds. It should be noted that today the "R8" is the most powerful and fastest car manufactured under the Audi brand. For this model, there are two types of gearboxes - 6 steps (mechanics) and R-Tronic, but it is installed only on an individual order. This is a manual gearbox with built-in automatic and manual shift functions.
Features of a complete set
Discussing the "Audi R8", the characteristics of this car and its components, it should be noted with special attention to its brakes. In total there are 24 working pistons, and 8 of them work on the front wheels. Thanks to such powerful brakes, it is not difficult to stop the car even at its maximum speed.
If we talk about standard equipment, then this Audi model has 4 composite discs, which were based on aluminum. However, if this option does not suit the potential buyer, then brake discs made of ceramics can be ordered. They can easily withstand the ride in race mode. In general, the equipment meets all generally accepted standards. These are 18-inch wheels, and high-quality audio systems with a bright 7-inch display, and a sidelight system. And this is just a small list of what the Audi R8 boasts.
Sport car worthy of respect
Audi R8 Spider is a model that really deserves special attention. It is equipped with an automatic drive, different body elements made of carbon fiber. And the roof of the car unfolds in less than 20 seconds, even if you go at speeds up to 50 km / h.
Its engine is many times more powerful than many other models. We are talking about a 10-cylinder V-shaped engine, the volume of which is 5.2 liters. In order to accelerate to "hundreds", the car needs only four seconds, and to the mark of "200" it takes 12.7 seconds. And finally, about the maximum speed - it is 313 km / h.
"Audi R8 Spider" - a real supercar, in the image of which the best modern technology is embodied. For example, an aluminum frame, or permanent drive, and even a microphone built into the seat belt. This car will appeal to lovers of a comfortable high-speed ride. To do this, the configuration of the machine has everything, and even more. There is the possibility of placing an individual order - many buy adaptive adjustable suspension, sports seats, advanced acoustics and carbon-ceramic brakes.
Such a car is not only a faithful “iron horse”, but also an indicator of excellent taste. This can be understood only by looking at the Audi R8. Photos of this powerful car will not leave indifferent any connoisseur of sports models.
Owner reviews
Many people, planning such an important purchase, decide to get acquainted with the reviews and comments of experts and owners. And that's right, because the Audi R8 car costs a pretty decent amount of money, so you should know what they say about it. However, the reviews do not disappoint - motorists familiar with this model, really speaking only good about it. Dynamics, handling, insulation, comfort - all this at the highest level. Although some, of course, express their dissatisfaction, however, it is mainly associated with the price of this machine. But it should be remembered that this option is for those people who can afford such a model. So if you want to buy a reliable car that will last many years faithfully, it is worth considering this option.
Cost
And finally, a few words about how much the Audi R8 will cost. The price, as mentioned earlier, is rather big. Based on the foregoing, we can understand why. Yes, the cost of the notorious Audi Spyder varies from 6,490,000 rubles to 7,600,000. The price depends only on the configuration and technical features. For example, the Audi R8 Spyder 4.2 FSI Quattro MT with an acceleration of 4.8 seconds and a consumption of 14.4 is the most inexpensive model. But 5.2 FSI Quattro AMT exceeds its cost by as much as 1,110,000 rubles. All due to acceleration (only 3.8 seconds), expense (about 13.2) and, of course, a considerable role was played by the volume - 5204 cm3.
But there are more "budget" Audi R8 models, the price of which is not so great. For example, 4.2 FSI Quattro - such a machine can be purchased for 6 million 60 thousand rubles. But if you want to buy 5.2 FSI, then you have to lay out 8,270,000 p. In general, there are various options - for any color, taste and wallet. There are even Audi R8s for much more affordable money, if you take the used options. Such cars will cost less than 2 million rubles (if the car is in good condition).
