About the R8:
The Audi R8 is a mid-engine sports car which uses Audi's trademark quattro permanent all-wheel drive system. It was introduced by the German car manufacturer in 2006.
The car is exclusively designed, developed, and manufactured by Audi AG's private subsidiary company manufacturing high performance automotive parts, Audi Sport GmbH (formerly quattro GmbH) The fundamental construction of the R8 is based on the Audi Space Frame and uses an aluminum monocoque which is built using space frame principles. The car is built by Audi Sport GmbH in a newly renovated factory at Audi's 'aluminum site' at Neckarsulm in Germany.
Based on the Audi Le Mans quattro concept car designed by Frank Lamberty and Julian Hoenig, the R8 first appeared at the 2003 International Geneva Motor Show and the 2003 Frankfurt International Motor Show.
The Audi R8 was initially equipped with a V8 engine. Specifically, it is an all-aluminum alloy 32-valve (four valves per cylinder) petrol engine, utilizing Fuel Stratified Injection (FSI), and has a displacement of 4,163 cc (4.2 L). It develops a motive power output of 414 hp and generates 317 lbf⋅ft. It is basically the same engine used in the B7 RS 4 but is modified to use a dry sump lubrication system. It uses two chain-driven double overhead camshafts (DOHC) per cylinder bank and utilizes variable valve timing for both inlet and exhaust camshafts. The 4 wheel drive system is biased towards the rear; it can send up to 70% of its power to the rear wheels and 30% to the front. According to Road & Track the 4.2-liter V-8 R8 did a zero to 60 mph sprint in 4.0 seconds in the manual version while the automatic version did it in 4.3 seconds. Both gearboxes were built by Graziano Trasmissioni.
6-time 24 Hours of Le Mans winner Jacky Ickx described the R8 as "the best handling road car today"
