Audi R8 Plymouth
In 2006 Audi released its mid-engined sports car, it used Audi's trademark Quattro permanent 4 wheel drive system, also known as all wheel drive system. The R8 is based on the Lamborghini Gallardo platform.
The Audi R8 is inspired by the success of the R8 race car which is why it shares its name with the 24 hours Le Mans winning R8 Le Mans Prototype. The R8 uses an aluminium monocoque and is built around space frame principles.
The R8 is available with an option of 2 engines, a 420bhp 4.2 V8 or the 517bhp V10. The 4.2 V8 can reach 62mph in 4.6 seconds, very impressive, even more impressive though is the V10 which can do it in 3.9 seconds!
As you would expect, the Audi R8 is a pleasure to drive with bags of traction and immense cornering grip. What I love about these cars is that the car has little to no body roll and what appears to be a very firm set up yet when needed it can deliver a smooth and fluid ride.
The soft ride of the R8 sets it apart from the competition as well as its modest yet super car looks, I first saw the <a rel="nofollow" onclick="javascript:_gaq.push(['_trackPageview', '/outgoing/article_exit_link']);" href="Audi R8 in Plymouth </a> and instantly fell in love with it. Pictures do not do it justice; it is one of those cars that have to been seen in flesh to get a feel for its beauty.
