 Here's everything you need to know about the stunning Audi R8 5.2 FSI quattro. A must read!

Audi is launching the next variant of its top-of-the-line model. With the R8, the brand has established itself

at the forefront of high-end sports cars from the very start – and now comes the R8 V10. Its 5.2-liter, ten-

cylinder engine churns out 386 kW (525 hp) and 530 Nm (390.91 lb-ft) of torque, which makes for

breathtaking performance. With superior Audi technologies such as quattro all-wheel drive, the lightweight

aluminum body, the innovative all-LED headlights, and its striking design, the R8 V10 takes pole position

against the competition.

The R8 V10 is the result of cumulative know-how from Audi’s string of Le Mans victories. Its naturally

 aspirated engine combines racing technology such as dry sump lubrication with FSI gasoline direct

injection. The ten-cylinder design is the perfect synthesis for impressive top performance, mighty pulling

 power, and low weight. Starting in 2009, this engine will also prove its potential on the world’s racetracks –

in the new R8 racing car Audi is developing for customer teams in conformance with the GT3 rules.

The V10 engine in the production sports car will be almost identical in construction to the one in the racing

version. Its displacement is 5,204 cc, at 6,500 rpm it delivers 530 Nm (390.91 lb-ft) of torque, at 8,000 rpm its

power tops out at 386 kW (525 hp). The specific power output is 100.9 hp per liter of displacement – and

each hp has to propel only 3.09 kilograms (6.91 lb) of weight, because the Audi R8 V10 in the version with

 the six-speed manual gearshift weighs only 1,620 kilograms (3571 lb). The engine accounts for 258 of

these kilograms (569 lb) – that’s only 31 kilos (68 lb) more than the V8.

The Audi R8 5.2 FSI quattro rockets from zero to 100 km/h (62.14 mph) in 3.9 seconds. In the version with

 the sequentially shifting R tronic it reaches 200 km/h (124.27 mph) in another 8.1 seconds. Even then its

propulsive power hardly lessens: it’s sufficient to reach a top speed of 316 km/h (196.35 mph). The

immense force, the spontaneity and the thrust of the acceleration, plus the sound of the engine – all these

impressions coalesce into a breathtaking sports car experience. The V10 plays a concert with growling

bass tones and powerful high notes, which grows into a grandiose fortissimo as the engine revs up. This

sonorous acceleration doesn’t reach its limit until 8,700 rpm.

The 5.2-liter powerplant uses direct injection according to the FSI principle developed by Audi. A common

rail system injects the fuel into the combustion chambers with up to 120 bar of pressure. Direct injection

reduces the susceptibility to knocking and provides a certain amount of cooling through the evaporation of

the fuel, which in turn supports a high compression ratio of 12.5:1. This in turn contributes to superior

performance and improves fuel economy. The R8 V10 with R tronic gets by on an average of 13.7 liters per

100 km (17.17 US mpg).

오옷,, 미치겠다 가야르도가 드림칸데,, 요녀석으로 바뀌었습니다 ,,

[auditt]

R8 5.2 내년 말 정도에 출시 예정이라고 합니다.가격포지션이 중요한데..포르쉐 터보 가격때에 맞추지 않을까 하네요...

[마니아]

돈이 왠수네요. 헉 제로백 3.9초 고개 돌리고 보면 사라질듯.....

[마눌님몰래]

음냐. 원래도 쫌 슈퍼카 였는데 이젠 슈퍼카

[tuffkid]

짝짝짝 성능까지 ,,, 이제 견줄만한 고려대상이 없어진듯하군요...진정한 드림카으로써의 R8이 만들어진듯하군요
