With the dawn of 2009 the launch of Audi's range topping R8 V10 draws ever closer. Due to be one of the major stars of this month's Detroit Motorshow {link} the V10 engine is expected to propell the Audi {link} R8 into the supercar class with exceptional perfromance (power to weight ratio of 324PS per tonne) and high desireability too.
The 5204cc V10 engine produces 525PS and 530Nm of torque ~ in both cases an increase of atleast 100 over the V8 model. This extra power will allow the V10 R8 to reach a top speed of 198mph and sprint from 0-62 mph in a mere 3.9 seconds.
The 4 wheel drive aluminium space frame sports car will have the world's first all LED headlamps as standard, continuing the R8 tradition of innovation and cutting edge technology.
