2010 Audi R8



The 2010 Audi R8 lineup gains a new, more-powerful model. This exotic car is an all-wheel drive, two-seat coupe with a mid-mounted engine. The entry-level 4.2 has a 420-hp 4.2-liter V8 engine. New for 2010 is the 5.2, which has a 525-hp 5.2-liter V10. Both models are available with a manual transmission or Audi's R tronic automated manual. Available safety features include ABS, traction control, antiskid system, side airbags, and knee airbags. Standard features on all R8 models include leather upholstery, heated seats, and wireless cell-phone link. A hill-holder clutch, front- and rear-obstacle detection, rearview camera, navigation system, and high-end Bang and Olufsen audio system are standard on the 5.2 and optional on the 4.2.
