0.1 seconds into the "3 seconds supercar club", a foot on the throttle 620Ps, Audi R8 is old?
In 2020, the Maserati MC20, as the legendary sequel of the legendary sports car MC12, returned to the supercar market, priced at 2.1113 million yuan, equipped with a 3.0T twin-turbo V6 engine, with 630Ps power, with a lightweight design of the body, directly broke into the 3-second supercar club, reducing the club's "entry threshold". Looking at the Audi R8, the zero hundred acceleration time performance is 3.1 seconds, only a "foot in the door" can enter the club, and with the advent of the electrification era, the zero hundred acceleration breakthrough of 3 seconds may become the dream of the fuel version of the Audi R8 for a lifetime.
However, as a generation of classic large-displacement self-absorbing supercar, Audi R8, although twilight, is still the Dream Car in the hearts of many young people, and previously there were foreign media reports that Audi R8 may not appear in the next generation of models in the future, if the rumors are true, then the Audi R8 currently on sale may become the final version of the model. It is also understood that the Audi R8 currently on sale is the second generation of models, and lamborghini mavericks share a modular platform to build, so it is said that the lower purchase cost of the mavericks and the same sports car quality may be a major factor for most young people to be enthusiastic about the Audi R8.

It is worth mentioning that only the high beam of the LED headlights is the source of the laser lamp, when the speed reaches 60km/h, the four high-power laser LEDs will switch to the laser headlight mode, and the irradiation range can reach up to 650 meters.
Similar to the conventional supercar design concept, the R8 R8 R8 R&D designers also fully considered the lightweight design, the whole car uses nearly 79% aluminum and 13% carbon fiber material, compared with the previous generation of models weight reduction of 4kg, and the body stiffness is also strengthened by 40%, so that the body handling performance and dynamic performance have been significantly improved. In addition, the design of the Audi R8 side is still unique, the intermittent body design with the large size of the blade groove design, to create a stronger visual cohesion, the front and rear 20-inch five-frame whirlwind wheel shape is unique, with red caliper embellishment, coupled with a large size ceramic ventilation disc design, effectively strengthen the sport performance of the vehicle.
In the rear part of the Audi R8, the unique black honeycomb downforce diffuser with bilateral double out of the large-bore exhaust design, coupled with the carbon fiber high-gloss tail, further enhances the sporty atmosphere of the vehicle. The LED taillights at the rear of the car echo the LED headlights in front of the face, and the internal structure of the lamp cavity is exquisite and three-dimensional, which will emit a dazzling brilliance when lit. At present, it is understood that in addition to the preset 10 colors, the current Audi R8 also provides a variety of paint types such as metallic paint, standard paint, pearlescent paint, matte paint, etc., and also supports black high-gloss carbon fiber and matte titanium alloy style options.
In terms of interior, the current Audi R8 basically continues the previous interior design, with a standard Nappa leather interior, and equipped with RS exclusive honeycomb quilted sports seats, plus Alcantara fur covering roof, and high-gloss carbon fiber trim embellishments, integrating the sporty luxury atmosphere into every corner of the car.

In terms of power, the Audi R8 is equipped with the same 5.2L naturally aspirated V10 engine with lamborghini mavericks, with high speed, large displacement and other technical characteristics, the maximum speed can reach 8700rpm/min, and meet the strict emission standards of China VIb, the maximum power can reach 620 horsepower, the peak torque can reach 580N·m, and the speed can reach 331km/h. The official Zero Hundred acceleration time is 3.1 seconds, matching the 7DCT transmission, and the Audi Quattro four-wheel drive system, the power performance is very strong, even under the conditions of more stringent emission standards, compared with the previous generation, the maximum power and peak torque have been further improved, which shows its preciousness.
epilogue
With the continuous advancement of electrification in the automotive market, the only thing that belongs to the future supercar is new energy power, and the Audi R8, as the performance of the Audi family, is still unknown. In the uncertain market environment full of variables, the current Audi R8 may become the last generation of fuel version of the large-displacement self-priming Audi R8, but it is undeniable that the Audi R8 equipped with a 5.2L V10 engine is still not old, full of power and combat atmosphere.
