2012 the Audi R8 V10 Spyder

The end result of quattro's involvement was a mid-sized, 2-seater sports coupe with a longitudinally-mounted mid-engine and the patented permanent four-wheel drive system. The R8 is said to be very similar to the Gallardo from Lamborghini, and the V10 engine it uses certainly earns it a top slot in the high performance category.

There have since been other versions of the R8, including the R8 Spider and a V8 version of the automobile. The original R8 V10 by Audi was available in most locations around the globe by the end of 2008, and the car is still in production today.

The similarities found between the R8 V10 and the Lamborghini Gallardo models are present for a reason - Audi AG owns Lamborghini. So they decided to use some of the same parts and design features, including the chassis, floorpan, transmission and the large, powerful engine.

Well, that's not all - the 2010 R8 5.2 FSI features a choice of Xenon or LED headlamps surrounded by indicators and LED running lights giving it stunning looks. The model will offer both the automatic transmission and standard manual transmission.

The interior of the 2010 FSI equipped R8 will have a driver oriented architecture, integrating the driver controls in between the high center console and dashboard. The typical feature in all the upcoming Audi sports models will be the flat bottomed steering wheel, which enables comfortable exit and entry.
