Model Overview

There is much to love about the 2011 Audi R8. Audi has added a Spyder model, equipped with the 5.2-liter V10. The car's canvas top takes just 19 seconds to open or close and can be operated at speeds up to 31 mph. Motive power - 5.2-liter V10 producing 525 hp and 391 ft-lb. Both units are mid-mounted just behind the passenger cabin and benefit from FSI direct injection. Power is put to the pavement through a standard 6-speed manual transmission or through Audi's R-tronic 6-speed sequential automatic. Quattro permanent all-wheel drive is standard, with rear-biased torqued distribution. Audi claims 12 mpg city and 19 mpg highway and 0 to 60 mph in 4.4 seconds from the V8, while the V10 is rated at the same fuel economy but it scoots to 60 mph in just 3.7 seconds. The R8 is built on an all-aluminum Space Frame technology, which offers a lightweight, stiff, compliant chassis. Aluminum double-wishbone front and rear suspension is paired with Audi Magnetic Ride, a system that offers push-button control over a magnetically charged fluid whose viscosity continuously adapts to driving dynamics. Drivers choose between "Normal" or "Sport" modes to customize the R8's handling. The result is improved driving dynamics, reduced body movement, better road handling and enhanced overall ride comfort. Inside, the R8 features heated Nappa leather sport seats with 10-way power adjustability, automatic climate control, a leather-wrapped multi-function steering wheel, metallic inlays, and aluminum pedals. SIRIUS satellite radio, HomeLink universal remote and Bluetooth hands-free connectivity are standard in all R8s. In the 5.2 coupe and Spyder, a Bang & Olufsen sound system comes standard, as does Audi MMI Navigation. Unique to the Spyder is a Bluetooth microphone integrated into the seat belt. All 5.2 R8s feature LED headlights and taillights, while the former is optional on 4.2 coupes. Carbon fiber exterior accents are optional across the range, and include exterior mirrors, doorsill inserts, and distinctive sideblade. On all R8s, 19-inch wheels are the norm, with several optional styles to choose from Safety is paramount in Audi's supercar, so all R8s include driver and passenger advanced dual-stage frontal airbags, seat-mounted head and thorax airbags and knee airbags. Audi Hill Hold Assist comes standard on 5.2 coupe and Spyder models, and Audi parking system plus with rearview camera is standard on the Spyder, optional on coupes. Popular packages add extra leather to the cockpit, as well as extra carbon fiber to the exterior. A park-assist system with rearview camera, power-folding mirrors and a navigation system are also optional.

Audi A3 E-Tron is a look at battery-operated things to come

Tue, 05 Mar 2013

Audi officially unveiled the A3 Sportback E-Tron at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. While not a production model, the plug-in hybrid gives us a good glimpse at what the German automaker has in store for future products. The five-door gets around thanks to parallel hybrid drivetrain comprised of a turbocharged 1.4-liter four-cylinder engine and a small electric motor integrated into the vehicle's six-speed dual-clutch transmission. While the four-cylinder churns up 150 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque, the motor contributes 100 horsepower and 242 lb-ft of twist. All told, the design allows the E-Tron to serve up its full power from just 1,750 rpm.
An 8.8-kWh lithium-ion battery sits under the floor beneath the rear seat, complete with a liquid cooling system designed to keep the pack in its optimum temperature range. The A3 Sportback E-Tron can be charged in as little as 2.5 hours with a 3.6-kW charger, yielding an EV range of up to 31 miles. The machine can also travel using the electric motor, ICE or a combination of the two for a total range of 584 miles. Check out the full press release below.

2014 Nissan GT-R Track Pack squares off against Audi R8 V10 Plus

Wed, 22 May 2013

The team over at Motor Trend has pitted the new Audi R8 V10 Plus against the Nissan GT-R. While both of the bright red all-wheel-drive supercars are comparably matched in power output, the similarities end there. Audi offers a mid-engine aluminum coupe with a naturally aspirated V10 that spits out 550 horsepower. Nissan shows up with a more traditional coupe equipped with a 545-horsepower twin-turbocharged V6 at the front of the car.
The Head-to-Head video takes both cars to the Streets of Willow Springs in the California desert for some track work with professional racing driver Randy Pobst behind the wheel. After a day at the track, the pair head to the local mountains for some spirited real-world driving. One dominates on the circuit, while the other earns back its credibility in the canyons. We won't tell you which coupe comes out on top, but we think you may be surprised. Follow the link below to watch for yourself.

It was a local guy from 90 miles away who beat them all...
