Audi R8 Parts

The Audi RB is certainly Audi's flagship 2-seater sports car, and a supercar in its own right. Designed on a mid-engine platform, capable of managing engines from V8 to V10 and massive horsepower, this car is a ground-up engineering masterpiece based on the Lamborghini Gallardo platform, designed, developed and manufactured by Audi AG's high performance branch; Quattro GmbH.

Audi campaigned R8 race cars at Lemans and other world class sports and GT events beginning in 2003, and announced that they would reveal a performance road car bearing that name. At the Paris Auto Show on September 30, 2006, the sleek mid-engine super car was revealed to high acclaim, and orders started flying in before it hit the showrooms.

The R8 has undergone constant upgrades, usually performance oriented. Originally equipped with a 4.2 liter all-aluminum 32 valve 420 horse V8 mated to a 4 wheel drive system putting 70% of the power to the rear wheels, 30% to the front, bigger and more powerful engines have filled the bay since.

In December, 2008, Audi fitted and released the twin turbo 5.2 liter V10 (based on the Lamborghini Gallardo and the Audi C6 S6), tuned to produce 532 hp and a zero to 100 km (62 mph) time of 3.9 seconds. In 2009, a sleek open R8 Spyder was introduced, using the same Audi R8 parts, but with a stiffened superstructure and a lower center of gravity. In 2011, the V8 was upgraded to 248 hp. Concepts have been shown with a V12 twin turbo diesel engine and an e-tron electric version with four 233 kW motors and 500 lb-ft of torque.

The R8 GT was introduced in 2010 for $180,000, and current versions are slightly more. It is the fastest Audi of all, boasting 560 hp, and a 0-100 km time of 3.6 seconds.
