The naturally aspirated V10 engine is located directly
behind the
passenger compartment. Its 5.2-litre FSI
generates 570PS in the V10 Performance RWD or up to 620
PS
in the V10 Performance quattro, which sprints from 0-
62mph in 3.2 seconds.
And thanks to the mid-engine concept with a low centre of
gravity, it has a balanced weight
distribution, enabling high
speeds even when cornering. Plus, the power steering
provides
intensive
contact to the road..
It pays to drive the Audi R8 Spyder with the hood down.
An
electrohydraulic drive folds the hood under a carbon-fibre-
reinforced polymer lid in just 20
seconds and at speeds of
up to 30 mph. It’s just as easy to retract and extend the rear
wind
deflector at the push of a button.
Combine this with wheel arches that exude power, flattened
grooves over the Singleframe, the
end-to-end air vent grille
at the rear, gloss black 19-inch alloy wheels as standard and
the
oval
exhaust tailpipes - and you’ve got one seriously
dynamic vehicle.
In the Audi R8 Spyder, you take a seat in R8 Super Sports
seats
with
upholstery in fine Nappa leather. The standard
R8 3-spoke flat bottomed sports leather steering
wheel
with multifunction plus and two control assistant programs
give you full control of the
vehicle.
Upgrade to the V10 Performance RWD Edition for enhanced
interior specification, including
carbon
fibre upper inlays
surrounding the air vents, sporty diamond stitched front
seats and a high
performance Bang and Olufsen sound
system.
When it comes to infotainment with the Audi R8 Spyder you
benefit
from the 12.3 inch high resolution Audi Virtual
Cockpit, as well as the MMI Navigation plus with
MMI
touch.
The MMI touch interface recognises your handwriting: you
can input characters and
scroll
and zoom with your fingers.
Alternatively, you can control the MMI using the voice
control
system.
The driver assistance technologies1 including Parking
System Plus front and rear,
rear-view
camera and Advanced
key all work to ensure each journey in the R8 Coupe is as
smooth as it
is
exhilarating.
