🌟 Audi R8 5.2 FSI [550] V10 Plus Quattro 🌟

For this coupe-only R8 Plus, that means the 5.2-litre V10 is cranked up to 550bhp, the ceramic brakes, bucket seats and carbonfibre parts (like the front spoiler, rear diffuser and sideblades) trim away 50kg, and Plus-specific suspension means revised spring and damper rates.�It’s on par for both smoothness and speed with the twin-clutch units in the Ferrari 458 and McLaren 12C, and way ahead of the Mercedes SLS. A Sport setting uses lower gears and holds onto them longer, or if you’re in Manual mode it stops the ’box changing up at the redline or downshifting when you floor it, leaving you to control everything via larger wheel-mounted paddles.�The rest of the R8’s recipe remains as superb as ever. It’s sublimely balanced, four-wheel-drive ensuring impeccable traction, but with a rear-biased torque split so it never feels like all four tyres are being driven. There’s nothing better this side of a Ferrari 458, Porsche GT3 and Lamborghini Gallardo LP 570-4 Performante.
