Audi R8 V10 Plus will rip your heart out

By Stuart Thomas

If you’re a fan of very fast, very German cars, listen up. Audi has unveiled a fresh crop of photos of the new R8 V10 Plus and it looks ready to rip your heart out and drive away smirking like an ultra-logical super-villain.

Equipped with a naturally aspirated V10 engine, Audi says it’s used its track expertise to bring out the best in the new model.

“The new Audi R8 will deliver exactly what customers expect from a high-performance sports car,” says Prof. Dr. Ulrich Hackenberg, Audi Board Member for Technical Development. “This car brings our concentrated motorsport competence from the racetrack to the road.”

In fact, the German motoring giant says, the top of the line model has a power output of 610 hp, a top speed of 330 km/h (205.1 mph) and a 0 to 100 km/h (62.1 mph) acceleration time of 3.2 seconds.

That makes it the fastest Audi ever, meaning it’ll be a speck in the distance once you’ve realised that it’s cut you off on the freeway.

Pre-orders for the new car went out in May, with the first deliveries expected to start fairly soon.
