Redefining the benchmark

High speeds, outstanding response and impressive performance coupled with a light, compact design – the business of creating high-performance engines is an extreme challenge. In building the Audi R8 5.2 FSI quattro®, Audi's engineers have again succeeded in redefining the benchmark.

A driving experience you won't ever forget

You'll notice this the first time you start the V10 engine. It instantly snaps out of its slumber with a massive 386 kW (525 bhp). An incomparably gutsy engine sound gives you a foretaste of what awaits you. You'll scarcely be able to wait to test its performance potential. Engage first gear and get ready – for a driving experience you won't ever forget.

State-of-the-art FSI® technology catapults the R8 5.2 FSI quattro® from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.9 seconds. You pass the 200 km/h mark after a mere 12.0 seconds*. The top speed is not reached until the speedometer touches a breathtaking 316 km/h. Racing drivers summarise such power output in just two words: sheer adrenaline.

Enter a bend and shift down the gears. As you come out of the bend, the Audi R8 5.2 FSI quattro® immediately responds to the throttle again. The high-revving concept has been further refined for this purpose, with the engine speed now peaking at 8,700 rpm. Its broad engine-speed range is instantly on tap and a beefy 530 Nm of torque drives the Audi R8 relentlessly forward. You detect this in the form of lightning-fast response, incomparable agility and supreme acceleration in virtually all driving situations.
