Powering the Audi R8 V10 is a naturally aspirated 5.2-liter V10 FSI engine, mated to a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, producing 602 horsepower. This setup enables the car to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.2 seconds, 20% quicker than its predecessor, and reach a top speed of 330 km/h. These impressive figures are also attributed to the supercar’s new chassis, which is 40% stiffer and 15% lighter than the previous model, featuring an integrated body and chassis construction and extensive use of carbon fiber reinforcement.
