Posted by Admin on January 17, 2009

At the 2009 Detroit Auto Show, Audi unveiled the much anticipated V10 variant of their R8 Supercar. And what a huge veil it had to be in order to contain the new 517HP V10 shoehorned into the Porsche 911 killer. Specs on the Audi R8 5.2 FSI are a 0-60 time in 3.9 seconds, and nearly 200 MPH and she looks damn good in black red to boot.

As the big daddy to the 4.2-liter V8 R8, the V10 makes 105 more Hp, uses a different set of air intakes and different rear features. And for those who are aware that there’s more to life than horsepower, don’t worry, the new Audi V10 R8 also develops 395 Lb-Ft of torque, 78 more than the v8.
