The second generation of the high-performance sports car from Audi was able to win over the international jury of 73 leading automotive journalists. This makes the Audi R8 a winner on the road as well as on the racetrack.

Talking about Audi R8 Coupe’s “2016 World Performance Car” award, Dietmar Voggenreiter, a board member of Sales and Marketing at Audi AG describes the R8 as one of the strongest calling cards for the brand with its distinctive design, driving dynamics and racing charm.

The Audi R8 Coupe offers more performance than any other Audi production model. V10 mid-engine and a newly developed Quattro drive offer extraordinary driving performance. The top version, with 610 hp (449 kW), sprints from 0 to 100 km/h (62.1 mph) in just 3.2 seconds and its maximum speed is 330 km/h (205.1 mph). A high-revving mid-engine, consistent lightweight construction concept and extremely dynamic suspension with Quattro drive in addition to fully variable torque vectoring all make the R8 Coupé a truly exceptional car.
