Introduction

2008 Audi R8 - Preview: The all-new 2008 Audi R8 is a mid-engine two-seater sports coupe poised to compete with the Aston Martin Vantage, BMW M6 and Porsche 911. Based in platform on the Lamborghini Gallardo, this super sport Audi employs a lightweight aluminum space frame. However, the R8 forgoes the Lambo's V10 engine in favor of a formidable 4.2-liter V8 engine developed in house. Three years ago, Audi delivered its Le Mans Quattro in concept form to the applause of journalists and potential customers. The production version, the new R8, will hit showrooms sometime in the first half of 2007 tagged as a 2008 model. Pricing has not been announced, but will likely ring up just over $100,000.

Why it matters

Audi has a renowned racing background, and the mid-engine R8 truly embraces Audi's race car heritage. As with other manufacturer's flagship sports coupes, the R8 also represents this brand's premier opportunity to showcase its engineering abilities. The 100 horsepower-to-liter achievement is impressive, but with only 4.2 liters the R8 can't match the power of BMW's 500 horse, ten-cylinder M6. In terms of appearance and structure, however, the R8 shines. The exterior sheet metal, mid-engine placement with viewing window and a sophisticated space frame easily befit the six-figure price point. Renowned Quattro AWD is yet another ace in Audi's hand.
