The civilian version of the Audi R8 is largely influenced by the success and popularity of the five-time Le Mans winner of the same name. Three years after Audi introduced their “Le Mans quattro concept”, the production version was displayed at the Paris Motor Show as the civilian version of the R8. This car, while still new, has already become the “sporty future” of the Audi brand of automobiles.
The Audi R8 features many similarities of its Le Mans sister. From the “down to Earth” body to the technical genius of the Audi team, the Audi R8 contains a unique combination of racing genius and civilian fancy.
