Our mid-engine motorway monster, the Audi R8, has been delivering top-flight thrills to drivers since its debut in 2008. And it seems to us at Audi of Charlotte that this trend won't change anytime soon, as this exotic is still the apple of performance enthusiasts' eyes, everywhere. Witness it rip up the racetrack in the video below:
As detailed by the critic in the clip above, there are myriad engine options available on the R8. And for most, the entry-level 4.2-liter V8 will do just fine. Kicking out a colossal 430 horsepower and 318 pound-feet of torque, this R8 can hustle with the best of them.
However, if you'd imagined something a bit louder and lustier, you may consider opting for one of the ten-cylinder iterations. Available on the V10 Plus and V10 Carbon models, this 5.2-liter V10 pushes out a very prodigious 550 horsepower and 398 pound-feet of torque.
To learn more about this tempestuous two-door, or to take one for a spin, we suggest you set a course for our Matthews, NC location. Our automotive aces are on hand to address your every query about the R8, or any other Audi model within the current lineup.
