Only 100 of these special Audi R8 V8 Limited Edition will be built, and all are headed for the UK market. When an automaker starts dishing out special editions then you know the car concerned is about to be replaced or even canned. Audi has of course, said nothing about either scenario.
R8 V8 Limited Edition is a small token of celebration for the company’s 24 Hours of Le Mans victory, its 10th so far. A slew of normally-optional bits will be offered standard for this car, including sat nav, Bluetooth and a rocking B&O sound system with its own seatbelt microphones.
New Y design 19-inch alloys are fitted. They are inspired by the R8 GT Coupe and come cut with red brake callipers. The car features the same 4.2-litre V8 engine which normally shafts out 309kW, but is now able to garner 316kW at 8250rpm for a claimed 0 – 100km/h sprint of 4.6 seconds. Top speed is raised to 301km/h for both the 6-speed manual and R Tronic models.
But it has not been around for that long. Well, at least when compared to its competitors its the "new kid on the block".
