New Audi R8 Spyder Photos Review
The Audi R8 Spyder 5.2 FSI quattro makes a powerful statement. The sculptured lines of the emotion-packed, high-performance sports car are a fascinating and unique interpretation of its dynamism. Unlike the Coupé, the Spyder does not have sideblades behind the doors. The side panels and the large cover over the storage compartment for the cloth top are made of a carbon fiber composite. Two arched cowls, which extend to the spoiler lip and include large, integrated air vents, give the rear of the open-top two-seater a powerful profile.
The electrohydraulic soft top opens and closes in 19 seconds, even while driving at speeds up to 50 km/h (31.07 mph). When opened, it folds like a Z into its storage compartment over the V10 engine. The compartment cover opens and closes automatically. The heated glass window, which is separate from the cloth top, is lowered into the bulkhead. It can be independently raised and lowered at the press of a switch, with the top up or down. An additional net-like wind deflector comes standard and can be latched into the bulkhead behind the seats in two easy steps.
Design
Numerous details demonstrate that the Audi designers put their hearts into the design of the R8 Spyder 5.2 FSI quattro. The air inlets in the nose, which direct air across the three radiators, and the lip of the front skirt are painted high-gloss black. The struts in the broad, low, single-frame grille are finely coated with chrome. The standard full-LED headlights are technical works of art. Their reflectors resemble open mussel shells; the daytime running lights appear to be a homogeneous strip, but actually comprise 24 individual LEDs that form a curve at the lower edge of the headlight.
Interior
The open-top two-seater from Audi features a generously spacious interior. The three-spoke leather multifunction sport steering wheel is flattened at the bottom as in a race car, and the low-mounted, electrically adjustable seats guide and support the body perfectly.
Quality of fit and finish is extraordinary and the controls are clear and logical. The standard driver information system includes a lap timer for recording lap times. The instruments and the gear lever knob feature red rings. The pedals, the footrests and the shift paddles of the optional R tronic are in aluminum look.
Engine
The Audi R8 Spyder 5.2 FSI quattro, which was developed in cooperation with quattro GmbH, dazzles with uncompromising performance. The V10 engine with the aluminum crankcase, much of which is hand-built, follows in the grand motorsports tradition at Audi. The normally aspirated engine produces 530 Nm (390.91 lb-ft) of torque at 6,500 rpm. Peak output of 386 kW (525 hp) is reached at 8,000 rpm, and the rev limit is not reached until 8,700 rpm. Specific power output is 100.9 hp per liter of displacement; each hp only needs to move 3.3 kilograms (7.28 lb) of weight.
Performance reflects this awesome potential: 0 – 100 km/h (62.14 mph) in 4.1 seconds; 0 – 200 km/h (124.27 mph) in 12.7 seconds; top speed is 313 km/h (194.49 mph) with the six-speed manual transmission. As load and revs increase, the engine unfolds the rich, unmistakable Audi ten-cylinder sound – a powerful, throaty roar with musical undertones.
The Audi R8 Spyder 5.2 FSI quattro is built by quattro GmbH at the Neckarsulm plant. The vehicle, including the ASF, is largely hand-built. The open-top two-seater will be launched in Germany in the first quarter of 2010; sales will start in the coming days. Its base price will be 156,400 euros.

Audi R8 E tron Sets World Record at Nurburgring
Record for the Audi R8 e-tron: 8:09,099 minutes for the Nordschleife
The Audi R8 e-tron has been established on the Nürburgring-Nordschleife, the hardest race and test track in the world, the best time for production vehicles with electric drive. Race driver Markus Winkelhock drove the purely battery electric-powered high-performance sports car in 8:09,099 minutes over the 20.8 kilometer circuit.
After the overall victories in the 24-hour race at the Nürburgring and at Le Mans, Audi has therefore set a further milestone in its history. How impressive is the reaching time of 8:09,099 minutes, the comparison with the fastest lap so far stalled in production vehicles. The best value of 7:11,57 minutes was achieved with a Gumpert Apollo Sport, which is powered by a 515 kW / 700 hp Audi engine.
Audi R8 E-tron , which generated Markus Winkelhock on the Nordschleife record drive is in all details the standard model, the end of the year comes on the market. His two electric motors combined give 280 kW / 381 hp and 820 Newton meters (Nm) of torque: At the rear wheels is almost from a standing start to over 4900 Nm. The Audi R8 e-tron accelerates in 4.6 seconds from zero to 100 km / h Its top speed is usually limited to 200 km / h, for the record lap was 250 km / h released.
The lithium-ion battery of the R8 e-tron stores 49 kWh of energy - enough for about 215 kilometers of driving distance. His T-shape allows it to be mounted in the center tunnel and the area between the passenger compartment and the rear axle. In the coasting and braking, he is charged by regenerative braking. The lightweight body of the Audi R8 e-tron is composed mainly of aluminum and CFRP components, it greatly contributes to the high-performance sports car, despite the large battery weighs only 1780 kg.
For the series production of the R8 to emphasize e-tron, Audi has set up beside the best time on the Nordschleife, another record. Right after Markus Winkelhock drove a second Audi R8 e-tron, which was limited to 200 km / h, two laps in a row. Both are 8:30,873 and 8:26,096 minutes to well below the nine-minute mark. "Of course, the R8 e-tron racing car with no aerodynamic aids, but a production car," says Winkelhock. "But he brings with his low center of gravity and weight distribution, rear-stressed with high athletic qualities. The torque with which the electric motors pushing uphill, beats everything I know."

ABT Audi R8 V10 2014
Who the thoroughbred sports car from Audi is still not fast enough and individually, for the ABT now offers the ABT Audi R8 V10 2014.
The Audi R8 V10 comes standard for over 525 hp (386 kW), but obtained from the ABT 10-cylinder engine out even more. By ABT-power performance to 600 hp (441 kW) is brought, the torque grows to 550 Nm.
Thus equipped, the sports car sprints in just 3.5 seconds from 0 to 100 km / h, and is up to 320 km / h. To provide an even better driving behavior while the ABT suspension springs and an adequate lowering.
But also in visual terms that ABT has come up with something to make the Audi R8 V10 even more dynamic. The ABT front spoiler in carbon fiber, a new front grille, a rear apron, a rear spoiler and side skirts also in carbon fiber tail pipes and ABT R8 V10 appear to be more individual in ABT-trim.
Absence may also not ABT Sportline wheels in 19 "size, available in two different versions. Prices you do not have called, each vehicle is fully adapted to the customers request, and so prices also vary for the ABT R8 V10.
