The first question to address is one of the original, so that is the R8 something more than slightly restyled and re-engineering of the Lamborghini Gallardo with a RS4 engine in the Gallardo's V10? In a word, yes. Apart from the fact that Audi has a Lamborghini and could reclothed the Gallardo and gave a different name, which surprisingly R8 shares some technical details with the Italian cousins.
Actually this is an entirely separate car though mid-engined, four-wheel drive and is built mostly of aluminum extrusion and pressing. The R8 wheels of four systems, for example, completely different from the Gallardo's, and although the same two cars that R8 gearbox casing's ratio of Bespoke and the optional R-electronic systems (not suitable for the test car) is very different from the Gallardo is less than satisfy the e-gear paddle shift system.
At the heart of each R8 is a 4.2-liter V8, direct injection, but was found in the RS4 is equipped with a dry sump, and exhaust systems have been redesigned to fit the R8 mid-engined configuration. This is a good machine at the RS4 and even give more encouragement in the lighter marginal R8. Peak power is equal to the delivered 414bhp at 7800rpm while peak torque of 317 pounds ft delivered between 4500-6000rpm.
Styling of the R8 is done entirely in-house in Ingolstadt, and the results are quite surprising. Incredibly, the production R8 is very similar to the original concept car - Le Mans - until the car's various LED lights. In total, the R8 boasts 210 of these, you'll even find them in the engine bay.
Inside, the R8 feels like a class act, no question. Audi has a reputation for producing great cars interior and in this case the designers have really hit the Bullseye. True, the cover of the dashboard may not be completely original in design (Honda NSX pioneered this view in the late 1980s), but the visual and ergonomic, the R8's cabin functions.
