The Audi R8 4.2 FSI quattro.Consistently efficient.
The brand claim “Vorsprung durch Technik” encapsulates the cutting-edge technology that is at the very heart of the Audi brand. Not just in the domain of sportiness, but also when it comes to a form of future-proof mobility. Audi consistently applies various efficiency measures within the framework of an all-embracing concept. As the developer of numerous innovations, we have made a lasting impact on automotive engineering.
Audi Space Frame ASF®
The space frame body is the perfect basis for outstanding driving dynamics and agile handling with low energy consumption. The Audi Space FrameAudi Space FrameThe Audi Space Frame is a high-strength aluminium frame structure into which all panels are integrated so that they also perform a load-bearing function.Audi Space Frame ASF® consists primarily of enclosed aluminium profiles and large, multifunctional castings. In the case of the Audi R8, potential savings afforded by ASF compared with a conventional steel design amount to 120 kg.
FSI® engine
With FSIFSIGetting more out of every drop of petrol.FSI ® technology, fuel is injected directly into the combustion chamber. This achieves more effective cylinder filling and compression ratios than on engines with conventional injection. The result is lower fuel consumption yet equally good performance.
R tronic
R tronicR tronicR tronic is an automatically controlled manual gearbox with an especially developed joystick.R tronic is an automated manual gearbox with a compact construction, which in turn means a low weight. The R tronic can be operated by means of shift paddles on the steering wheel or a purpose-developed joystick in the centre console.
LED technology
The LEDs used in daytime running lights are made to last the lifetime of the vehicle and the saving in power consumption that they offer is as much as half compared with conventional bulbs.
