The
latest generation of the Audi Space Frame® (ASF)
lowers the overall weight of the Audi R8 Spyder.
Carbon-fibre-reinforced plastic (CFRP) has also been
employed, namely in the side sections and bodywork,
as well as in the hood compartment cover and the
interior. This means high levels of safety, enhanced
performance and improved handling.
The
exterior: powerful, muscular and striking
The Audi R8 Spyder echoes the design expression of
classic racing cars. The tail looks powerful and
muscular whether the hood’s up or down. A
steeply raked front windscreen frame made from
aluminium further emphasises the dynamic lines
while giving the vehicle an even more athletic
appearance.
The single-frame grille with vertical and
horizontal chrome bars instantly conveys the
vehicle’s sense of sporting credentials. Air
inlets with long, moulded lines: when viewed in
profile there is an electrifying air about the
Audi R8 Spyder. The headlights with all-LED
technology form a further visual highlight. The
first of their kind for a sports car, they are
capable of producing lighting that closely
resembles daylight.
The
hood: classic and fully automatic
A true soft-top roof with elongated fins
emphasises the clearly structured lines of the
Audi R8 Spyder. It can be opened and closed fully
automatically with a single touch of a button –
even when moving at speeds of up to 31mph. It
takes just 19 seconds for the Audi R8 Spyder’s
hood to fully open. To add to the purity of the
pleasure, the rear window can be lowered leaving
you to enjoy the roar of the ten cylinders even
when the hood is closed.
The
interior: supremacy in every detail
The interior of the Audi R8 Spyder 5.2 FSI quattro
is a picture of sportiness and functionality,
right down to the smallest detail. The heated,
electrically retractable rear window doubles as a
wind deflector, with an additional wind deflector
also being provided as standard.
The centre console is raised, simplifying
operation of the joystick control for the optional
R tronic® transmission. The Bang & Olufsen
Sound System guarantees an exceptional listening
experience whether the hood is up or down.
A world first: Audi is the first sports car
manufacturer to integrate microphones into the
driver and passenger seat belts for the use with
the standard Bluetooth mobile phone interface.
Three microphones each for driver and passenger
maintain a short speaking distance at all times
and significantly enhance voice quality – even
with the hood down.
High
engine speeds, outstanding responsiveness and
phenomenal power combined with a lightweight,
compact construction – the Audi R8 Spyder’s
ten-cylinder mid-mounted engine redefines standards.
The engine’s rich sound underlines the performance
capabilities of the 5.2 FSI quattro in formidable
fashion. 525PS (386 KW) catapults the Audi R8 Spyder
to 62 mph in just 4.1 seconds. The 124 mph mark is
passed after 12.7 seconds. Its breathtaking top
speed is not reached until 194 mph.
Innovative
high-revving concept (HRC)
What’s the quickest way to express high
performance? High-revving concept. Lightning-fast
responsiveness. Incomparable agility. The wide
engine speed range, up to 8,700 rpm, is available
in fractions of a second. The beefy torque curve
extending up to 530 Nm pushes the Audi R8 Spyder
inexorably forward.
The ideal combination of power and
technology.
Thanks to the latest four-valve FSI® technology,
the Audi R8 Spyder squeezes more power out of
every drop of petrol. The lightweight aluminium
construction together with carbon-fibre-reinforced
plastic components lowers the overall weight,
while dry-sump lubrication gives the car a low
centre of gravity and permits powerful lateral
acceleration.
