The definition of adrenaline
Transferring its immense power to the road through the rear wheels, the R8 RWS takes full advantage of its low centre of gravity and optimal weight distribution to produce its own unique driving dynamics.
The finest craftsmanship
Creating such a special car requires immense experience, expertise and absolute attention to every detail. Like the R8 GT3 LMS race car with which it shares up to 50 percent of its componentry, the Audi R8 Coupé and Spyder V10 RWS are painstakingly and lovingly hand-built at Audi Sport’s purpose-built Bӧllinger Hӧfe facility in Heilbronn.
A heart of performance
Powered by a mid-mounted, high-revving 5.2-litre V10 FSI engine, the R8 RWS delivers breathtaking performance – producing 397 kW of power and 540 Nm of torque. Married to a seven-speed S tronic transmission, the Coupé races from standstill to 100km/h in just 3.7 seconds, and the Spdyer in 3.8 seconds.
Exclusive design
Differentiated by exclusive details, the R8 RWS features different coloured sideblades for the Coupé, with the upper sideblade in Mythos black and the lower painted in the body colour. Optionally available for the Coupé are bespoke Audi Sport decals in Misano red. Front and rear air intakes feature in matt titanium black and the exclusive 19” alloy wheels in 5-V-spoke design finished in high gloss black complete the look.
