I don’t know a lot of things when it comes to cars. So I don’t give lot of details with this very good looking car. It definitely makes a noise these past few years in the world of car shows. It was 2006 when Audi Germany introduced R8. Here is the specs: The Audi R8 is equipped with a 4.2 litre Fuel Stratified Injection (FSI) V8 engine developing 420 PS (309 kW; 414 hp) and 430 N·m (320 ft·lbf), and is basically the same engine used in the B7 Audi RS4, but modified to use dry sump lubrication. A variant with a 5.2 litre Fuel Stratified Injection (FSI) V10 engine was added on the 9th of December 2008, which produces 386 kW (525 PS; 518 hp) and 530 N·m (390 ft·lbf) [Wikipedia]. Audi R8 is priced for around US $110,000 but it will cost twice here in the Philippines and that is roughly Php 8,000,000.
R8 was featured in the movie Iron Man, driven by Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.). The durability and safety of Audi R8 is accidentally tested on the filming of Iron Man. There is a scene that the R8 should flip over, but it could not. That shows how the body of the car is absorbing the impact rather than flipping over. And also another scene that they want Iron Man grab the roof of R8 and split open but the roof is just peeled and not what they wanted.
It is spotted on the first shooting day of the Transformers sequel Transformers: Revenge of The Fallen. Before the big question is on which side the R8 belongs? On the recently released Transformers 2 trailer that premiers at the Super Bowl confirmed thatAudi R8 is one of the Decepticons so sorry for the Autobot fanatic that loves the R8.
