New R8 | Is it GR8?

De gustibus...

In Geneva, Audi is showing the second generation of its high-performance R8* sports car. The V10 mid?engine and a newly developed quattro drive ensure sporty driving performance, especially in the top-of-the-range version with 449 kW (610 hp): achieving 0 to 100 km/h (62.1 mph) in just 3.2 seconds, its top speed is 330 km/h (205.1 mph).

The second generation of the Audi R8 forms the basis for more models. The latest evolutionary version of the electrically-powered R8 e?tron supercar achieves a performance figure of 340 kW and a torque of 920 Nm (678.6 lb?ft). It sprints from a standstill to 100 km/h (62.1 mph) in 3.9 seconds. Thanks to new battery cells, the range could be more than doubled compared to the first version of this technological wonder – it is now more than 450 kilometers (279.6 mi).
