The Audi R8
Thrilling performance. Breathtaking handling. Redesigned from
the ground up, the second generation R8 has arrived. A high-revving
5.2-litre V10. Lightweight Audi Space Frame technology. And an
S tronic transmission capable of gear changes within hundredths of
a second. No model bearing the four Audi rings comes closer to giving
you the adrenalin rush of the track in a series production vehicle.

From determination to podium.
What does it take to succeed in motorsport?
Expertise and passion, for sure. But it also takes daring. Daring, not just
to enter a car with a TDI diesel engine into the world’s toughest endurance
race, the 24 Hours of Le Mans – but to win it. Daring, a few years later,
to introduce the R18 e-tron quattro, featuring hybrid technology,
to the same race. And to win again. And again.
It’s that determination to innovate that has led Audi to success after
motorsport success, amassing a total of 13 Le Mans wins. And it’s with
that spirit of innovation that we brought our most exciting developments
to series production. The result is the Audi R8: the embodiment of
Vorsprung durch Technik.

At home on the racetrack.
With the Audi R8 LMS, we built an R8 to triumph on the track.
And its record speaks for itself. Since 2009 the teams at the
wheel have won 26 national and international titles, as well as
269 competitive races with the rear-wheel drive GT3 sports car.
Now, the new lighter and even more powerful second
generation LMS has arrived. Made to race, it shares around
50% of its parts with the R8 Coupé, including technologies
like the Audi Space Frame and V10 engine. Clearly, the R8
is a car with motorsport in its genes.

R8 V10 Coupé
The Audi R8 V10 has transformed.
It’s lighter and flatter, with a more muscular stance than its predecessor.
The naturally aspirated V10 engine offers even more power and torque than
before, with 540PS and 540 Nm of torque. As a result, it can sprint to 62mph
in 3.5 seconds, before powering on to a top speed of 198mph.*
Inside, you’ll find a high level of standard equipment. MMI Navigation Plus
with Audi Connect. Audi Drive Select, enabling you to tailor the ride to suit you.
And the Audi Virtual Cockpit, which replaces the traditional dashboard with
a stunning all-digital display.
10
*Where the law permits.

R8 V10 plus
Coupé
Performance to the extreme.
Breathtaking: with 610PS and maximum torque of
560 Nm, the R8 V10 plus Coupé accelerates from
0–62mph in 3.2 seconds. Making it not just the
fastest Audi production car in history, but also
the first to reach 205mph. Where legal, of course.
16
17
Puts you firmly in control.
With a new, responsive quattro all-wheel drive system,
up to 100% of the R8’s torque can be transmitted wholly
to the front or rear wheels, depending on road and
weather conditions, for improved traction and grip.
Gloss Carbon elements give the R8 V10 plus Coupé an
unmistakable motor-racing look, while a fixed rear spoiler
provides greater downforce for enhanced grip in corners.
It’s just as formidable to hear. Activate the Performance
mode on Audi Drive Select and the controllable exhaust
flaps to enhance the R8’s signature engine sound.

R8 V10 Spyder
Power up. Roof down.
The Audi R8 V10 Spyder: the supercar that combines the breathtaking performance
of the R8 with the open-top thrill of a cabriolet.
It starts with a new 5.2-litre, 540PS FSI engine that produces 540 Nm of torque.
An engine that doesn’t just accelerate from 0–62mph in 3.6 seconds; it’s one that
also gives an intense audible performance. Especially when the roof’s down.
22
23
Looks that match the experience.
As with the Coupé, the R8 V10 Spyder is lighter, flatter and
more muscular in appearance than its predecessor.
Along with the new distinctive sideblades, it’s the roof that
marks out the Spyder. Available in three colours, it harmonises
the dynamic lines of the car, tapering into two sporty air vent
fins at the rear.
Fully automated, the lightweight hood opens in 20 seconds
at speeds of up to 31mph. And, once it’s stowed and you open
the throttle, you’ll notice lower levels of wind and road noise
than on previous Spyder models; thanks, in part, to a rear
deflector that can be raised and lowered to suit you.

R8 V10 plus
Spyder
More power. More possibilities.
How do you heighten the thrill of open-top driving in an Audi R8?
Simple: add a specially tuned V10 plus engine that delivers 610PS and
takes you from 0-62mph in 3.3 seconds. To match all this power, we’ve
also included lighter, even more efficient ceramic brakes, specially
designed to cope with the kind of heat generated during dynamic driving.
30
31
The great indoors.
The ability to drop the roof isn’t the only thing that sets
this car apart. Step inside and you’ll discover upgraded
features like R8 bucket seats and Gloss Carbon inlays.
Not to mention luxurious touches including Fine Nappa
leather and stainless steel pedals that make every journey
a pleasure – roof up or down.

R8 interior
Everything focused on the driver.
With its monoposto cockpit design, it’s no coincidence that,
on climbing inside the R8, you get the feeling of being
behind the wheel of a race car.
Engine start-up, exhaust sound, driving dynamics and gear
changes can all be controlled from the buttons on the R8
performance steering wheel. The interior boasts refined
materials, precise workmanship and innovative technologies.
And the new, fully customisable Audi Virtual Cockpit puts
all the information you need directly in front you.
36
37
Vorsprung
durch Technik
Not just a slogan. A philosophy.
Progress. It’s behind everything we do at Audi. It’s why
we’re always developing new technologies to help you
on the road. And new engines for the R8 that deliver
enhanced performance and fuel economy.
The Audi R8 Coupé and Spyder are the very latest
steps on our journey of progress.
38
39
The high-revving, mid-mounted V10 engine
sits directly behind the driver and gives the
R8 a lower centre of gravity. And on Coupé
it’s illuminated and visible through the
rear window.
There’s a choice of two engines on both the
R8 Coupé and Spyder: the V10, which delivers
540PS of power, or the V10 plus – producing
an astonishing 610PS. More power and
more torque than the previous R8. And now,
for the first time, with cylinder-on-demand
and dual injection system.

Mid-engine:
more traction,
more control.
Cylinder-on-demand:
power when you
need it.
Dual injection:
precise and
powerful.
The R8’s sporting lineage is evident
in the mid-engine placement. With
the engine near the centre, weight
is favourably distributed towards
the rear axle, giving greater traction
and making cornering more agile
and responsive.
For the times when you don’t need the
full power of the R8 V10, advanced
cylinder-on-demand technology
automatically shuts down five of the
10 cylinders. It’s something that can
improve your fuel consumption,
particularly in city traffic.
The dynamic combination of intake
manifold and direct injection in the
high-revving V10 yields very short
fuel injection times. The result is
not just noticeable, improved power
delivery; it also makes for enhanced
cooling and lower fuel consumption.
Coupled with the standard quattro
all-wheel drive, performance is
enhanced and road-holding is
simply impeccable.
Accelerate on the open road again,
and within milliseconds, all 10 cylinders
– and full engine power – are seamlessly
back at your disposal.

Exceptional road holding
whatever the road holds.
Loose gravel. Icy patches. A tight bend in the rain.
Conditions on the road are always changing, so
quattro changes too. By constantly analysing your
grip, automatically distributing power between all
four wheels, to where it’s needed most. It’s made
for the most challenging conditions of all: the ones
you encounter every day. Whatever the road holds,
you can be confident that quattro will react.
43
Sometimes,
lighter means stronger.
Thanks to the latest high-strength Audi Space
Frame (ASF), the Audi R8 is even more agile
on the road. The intelligent mix of aluminium
and carbon makes the Coupé 40% and the
Spyder 50% stiffer than previous models.
Also the Coupé is almost 50kg lighter than
its predecessor. And now for the first time,
the ASF is directly linked to the Sport
suspension for enhanced driving dynamics.
You might not be able to see the difference,
but it’s something you’ll feel at every corner.
Power without compromise.
Every part of the R8 is designed to give you the best
possible performance at all times. The 7-speed
S tronic transmission delivers gear changes within
hundredths of a second and with virtually no break
in acceleration.
At the touch of a button, Audi Drive Select lets you
adjust the R8’s configuration by matching the ride
dynamic to the friction coefficient of the road.
And for the first time, the newly developed quattro
drivetrain also works with Audi Drive Select, enabling
you to adapt the all-wheel drive system to suit you.
So you can optimise the R8’s power for any kind
of road condition. For any style of driving.
46

Total Audi craftsmanship.
Each R8 is built almost exclusively by hand in
a dedicated, new quattro GmbH production facility
near Heilbronn in Germany. From the welding of the
body shell to the completion of assembly, small,
highly qualified teams give the R8 its unique shape.
It’s an extremely skilled process, where robots are
used only for peripheral, non-ergonomic tasks.
And, with numerous specification variants and
customisations, our teams very rarely build the
same R8 twice. Making each handcrafted one
as unique as its owner.

Illuminating features.
50
The R8 leads the way with an optional feature
you’ll find in no other Audi model: LED headlights
with Audi Laser Light technology.
At 37mph, four high-power laser diodes are
activated by the high beam, sending out a narrow
laser beam of white light that is not only brighter
than the conventional LED high beam, but also
reaches further, filling the driver’s lane with light.
Illuminating the darkest corner. And showing you
clearly what lies ahead.
51
The Audi Virtual Cockpit is a fully customisable
digital display. Combining the functions of
a central MMI monitor and conventional
instrument cluster in one high-resolution
display, it depicts information in razor-sharp,
brilliantly clear, high-contrast quality. The choice
of three views, ‘classic’, ‘infotainment’ or ‘Sport’,
puts vital driver information right in front of you,
with a flexible, responsive display so you feel in
total control.

Your R8
driving experience
Take the R8 to the limit. With our compliments.
The Audi R8 is breathtaking. Exhilarating. Thrilling.
The proof, however, is in the driving. That’s why, as the owner
of a new R8, you’ll be invited to take part in a complimentary
R8 Driving Experience.
Under the expert guidance of our fully trained instructors
at Silverstone, you’ll discover the R8’s full potential in a way
that’s simply not possible on the open road. You’ll learn a host
of techniques, from assessing risks to perfecting high-speed
lane changes. And you’ll complete your day as a passenger on a
series of ‘hot laps’ driven by our professionals.
There’s simply no better way to test the R8’s true
capabilities. Just contact us on 08000 274 787 to
book your place.

Audi warranty
R8 standard equipment
Protection against the unexpected.
Included with every R8 model.
All new Audi models come with a 3-year warranty as standard, with the option to extend this to a 4 or 5-year warranty for a
one-off cost.* What’s more, if you decide to sell your Audi before the warranty expires, it will be fully transferred to the new owner.
These are the basic items of equipment you’ll find in every R8 – right down to the tyre repair kit. Of course, there’s much more.
You’ll see all the key features at the front of the guide.

Audi Difference
Financing your Audi R8
There’s no single factor that makes an Audi Centre the right place to bring your car for servicing or maintenance.
Really, it’s the sum of many different parts. Together, we call them the Audi Difference.
A range of finance plans designed to suit you.
Servicing by Audi
Everything you need
Regular servicing is key to the smooth running of your Audi.
So we offer Audi service schedules designed with your car
in mind. There are two main types: fixed, where servicing
is due after a set time or mileage, and flexible, where sensors
will monitor your driving style and alert you when a service
is needed.
Book a ‘service while you wait’ appointment, or leave your car
with us and take advantage of a courtesy car,2 which we can
even deliver to you. We will also ensure your car is returned
to you with a full valet.
Fixed Inspection Service Schedule
Vehicle Usage
Less than 10,000 miles per annum.
Mainly city/town centre driving. Short journeys.
Mileage
Service Intervals
Oil-Change Service
Fixed to every 9,0001 miles/one year
Inspection Service
Fixed to every 19,0001 miles/two years
Flexible Service Schedule
Vehicle Usage
More than 10,000 miles per annum. Motorway and
main road driving. Mainly longer distance journeys.
Constant speeds.
Mileage
At Audi, we offer a range of ways to finance your new Audi R8. With most finance agreements, you just need to choose your annual
mileage and the length of the term, then pay an initial deposit which could be as little as one monthly payment.* For more details,
see the accompanying Audi Finance booklet, or speak to your local Audi Centre.
Solutions Personal Contract Plan
Online Finance Calculator
A flexible finance plan designed to give you a number of options,
making it ideal if you want to change your car more regularly.
At the end of the agreement, you have three choices:
To get an idea of your repayments on a finance scheme, enter
a few details online at www.audi.co.uk and you’ll see what you
can expect to pay for your new Audi.
When we work on your car, we’ll only use Audi Genuine Parts,
which come with a two-year guarantee.3 So you know they’ll
be of the same high standards as the originals.
1. Exchange the car for a new Audi.
Audi Insurance
2. P
ay the option to purchase fee and optional final payment,
then take full ownership of the car.
We’ll keep you updated
3. Simply return the car to Audi (fees may be payable).
Whenever we see your Audi, we’ll connect it directly to our
headquarters in Ingolstadt for the latest software updates.
These can be applied immediately, enhancing everything from
your car’s efficiency to the precision of its parking system.
Hire Purchase
We want you to start enjoying your new car from day one and,
thanks to Audi complimentary five-day insurance,† you can.
To activate it, simply call 0330 303 6900, give us a few details
and you can drive it away as soon as you take delivery.
Genuine parts, genuine prices
Audi Roadside Assistance
For even more reassurance, your Audi comes with three years’
complimentary roadside assistance provided by the Automobile
Association Insurance Services Limited. It means you’ll be
covered across the UK and throughout Europe in the unlikely
event of a breakdown.
If you know you’d like to keep your Audi, Hire Purchase could be
right for you. And as you’re making your payments with a view
to owning the car, there’s no restriction on how far you can drive
each year.
Telephone lines are open Monday to Friday 8am–8pm,
and Saturday 9am–4pm. For details of our full range of
insurance products, visit www.insurewithaudi.co.uk
Contract Hire
If you don’t want to own your Audi, Contract Hire could be
a great option. You can add a service, maintenance and tyres
plan and, for VAT-registered businesses, an element of the VAT
on rentals may be recoverable. You simply need to commit
to a regular monthly payment and hand your car back at the
end of your agreement (subject to our return standards).
Service Intervals
