Audi has just released a brand new ad clip for the second-generation Audi R8. Displaying a truly stunning bright orange R8 V10 Plus example, the clip is certainly amongst the most interesting we’ve come across for the R8.
It focuses on a man’s eye and his dilating pupils when behind the wheel of the new German supercar with his pupils changing in size as the R8’s quick-shifting transmission changes gears. We also get a chance to see the orange R8 V10 Plus both in a tunnel and on a race track during the clip and we must say, orange suits the R8 perfectly.
Both the Audi R8 V10 and V10 Plus come with a 5.2-litre V10 engine with quattro all-wheel drive and S-tronic gearbox. The V10 delivers 540 hp and 540 Nm of torque while the V10 Plus pushes out 610 hp and 560 Nm of torque. The sprint from 0-100 km/h can be done in 3.5 and 3.2 seconds respectively. The V10 Plus can sprint from 0-200 km/h in a noteworthy 9.9 seconds. The Audi R8 V10 tops out at 320 km/h while the V10 Plus has a top speed of 330 km/h.
part of the fun of driving my r8 is going through the gears. here in america seldom are you seldom able to keep it at 6000rpm the way it should be driven. driving a automatic looses part of the fun. i also own a a6 and never use it in the tiptronic mode. i will not be trading in my stick even though i realize it is slower than the automatic but i do not take it to a racetrack.
