The Audi R8 Has A Great Body That’s Designed For Pleasure

The Audi R8 is quite a vehicle; not only is it an above sports car, it can be customized to fit the driver's lifestyle and performance needs. The lightweight body constructed with Audi Space Frame (ASF) technology makes the R8 line nimble and agile on the road. The aluminum frame is remarkably strong due to the unique composition of the extruded sections and cast nodes which offers both strength and flexibility. The Audi R8's body panels uses positive and friction connections in accordance with the principles of the patented ASF system. Even the engine is made with strength to weight considerations; the engine frame is constructed of magnesium.

Weight is not the only issue that the Audi R8 has mastered; space is an area that most sports cars shy away from tackling but the Audi engineers built this car around a 2.65 meter wheelbase. The driver and passenger will never have to be concerned about space or positioning and the narrow A-posts offer excellent view from all vantage points. The design of the R8' body offers a unique blend that makes the interior look bigger on the inside than it appears on the exterior.

This high performance luxury car also offers a diesel version along with its gasoline powered conventional motor.Consider the fact that the Audi also comes with a four wheel drive as well as automatic transmission along with a six-speed manual and you'll begin to understand why this model is so popular.

A 420 horsepower V8 engine is mounted directly behind the car's cockpit. The engineers at Audi were able to accomplish a 44%/56% front to rear weight ratio to achieve optimum weight distribution in the vehicle. The goal of every sport car driver is to feel the thrill of driving every time they get behind the wheel; the Audi R8 accomplished this goal consistently.
