VW Group is finally achieving synergies between Audi and Lamborghini.
At the Detroit Motor Show next month, will debut the Audi R8 V10, the fastest production R8 yet. The R8 V10 will come with a 5.2 liter V10 engine producing 528 hp, the same as in the Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4. This power plant has also previously appeared in the R8 LMS GT3 racer.
Unique to the R8 V10 are the LED head lights for the main and dipped beams, first and daytime running lights. A new rear diffuser creating more down force is also special to this model and twin oval tail pipes tag the rear of the V10, as opposed to the quad chrome exhaust of the V8 version.
The V10 also features magnetic ride dampers and comes with a choice of a six-speed manual or an R tronic semi-automatic gearbox.
The numbers: 0 to 100 km / h in 3.9 seconds and a top speed of 196 mph or 315 km / h.
