2010 Audi R8 Reviews, Pricing & Specs
Write a review
If you aim to become the world’s top-selling luxury vehicle manufacturer by 2015, one thing is violently clear - eight cylinders aren’t enough. Or so it seems. Hot on the heels of the release of their Gallardo-inspired supercar, the R8, Audi decided to blur the distinction between the two cars even further, dumping the 5.2-liter V10 from the Gallardo into the R8. This is the same engine Audi put in its S6 and S8, adapted for midengine application. With relatively few modifications, confined to intake and exhaust specifications and mapping, the 5.2 will be slightly more sedate here than when powering a Lamborghini. Output here is 525 hp at 8,000 rpm and 391 lb-ft of torque at 6,500 rpm, an increase of more than 100 hp from the V8 R8, but still detuned 35 hp from the Gallardo application. Regardless, this will shave more than a half-second off the 0-60 sprint, pushing the V10 R8 to that mark in less than 4 seconds. All this, and you still get an average fuel economy of 17.2 mpg, according to Audi at least.
Buyers have a choice of two transmissions, a six-speed manual or the R Tronic six-speed sequential manual transmission, the latter coming with steering-wheel shift paddles. Configured with Audi’s Quattro AWD, the new R8 has several upgrades over the older V8 version, including new magneto-rheological dampers at all four corners and the carbon/ceramic brakes from the Gallardo, which result in a weight savings of almost 20 pounds. Other notable changes include LED headlamps with 54 bulbs per side doing high and low beam, turn signal, and daytime running light duty, a chrome grille, more pronounced side blades and sills, a matte aluminum finish for the side window grilles and dual oval single-pipe exhausts. The interior is rumored to be slightly modified from last year as well, although Audi has not confirmed this yet.

I love how the car drives, however thats about all it does well.....its great if you have a track to drive it on, however driving it on public roads is more of a chore. additionally, if you want attention go to the gas station... if you dont feel like chatting with someone for 20 min make sure not to stop anywhere lolApr 15, 2014

conseguir un rendimiento óptimo en carretera. Las ventajas son claramente apreciables tanto en lo que se refiere al confort como a las características de conducción.
El modo deportivo obtiene una respuesta directa de la carretera. El vehículo toma las curvas con agilidad y responde de forma espontánea a los movimientos del volante. El modo normal está más orientado al confort para ayudar a eliminar la fatiga del conductor en viajes largos.Apr 26, 2010

This version is very fast, handles like a dream, brakes like a car should brake, never gone in for maintenace or repairs, 1 owner, looks brilliant both on inside and outside, and is about 30/10 on the fun factor to drive! Also good value!Apr 25, 2010

Its engine isn't turbo-charge but it's an instantly responsive engine .. An aluminum-bodied mid-engined car with all-wheel drive for usability in all weather. Weight is concentrated in the centre, so the car can turn and straighten rapidly. With no back seats, there's room for a huge, noisy, theatrical, instantly responsive non-turbo V10..Apr 24, 2010

I like the 5.2 litre-V-10 engine.It goes 0-60 in 3.9 s.And the fuel economy is prety good for a spoets car,it gets 17 mpg in the european cycle, but the car is to damn expensive(142,400 euros)Jan 16, 2010

-Proformance: beautiful tone, downshifts are phenomenal
-Build Quality- beautifully upholstered, switches are perfect
-Fun level - not too fun, very serious car, only entusiasm is when you turn sport mode on, it adds a little "!" at the end
-Cost to own - not bad, when you think of it, its just the R8 with all the little add ons, you pay 9 grand for the exta 2 cylinders, and its really a bargain with the 5.2 lamborgini engine Jan 13, 2010

I like it's design of the engine, body, interior, exterior, etc.
It's pretty fast though and hard to find. It is also my
dream car. I like it. It doesn't matter of what it's worth. It
matters if you like it, love it, etc.

The Audi R8 is one of the most fantastic cars that Audi has built yet besides the Audi TT which comes behind the R8. The Audi R8 although it is Awesome is still pretty cheap for its look for $108,000 insteal of the $180,000 i would have expected it to be for.Oct 16, 2009

FORMULA ONE STYLE ON THE ROAD!!!
The acceleration is amazing shifting thru gears keeps your head slammed to the head rest...
It would look nice in my parking spot, The handling on this car is just accurate and pricise as can be... the engine roars when it passes you buy, making you feel like you on a F1 track and schumaker just passed by with his ferrariSep 17, 2009
