Audi reportedly shoots down electric R8 rumor for Frankfurt

Rumors in the European press that Audi would bring an all-electric Audi R8 supercar (or an extended range EV that uses a diesel range extender) to the upcoming Frankfurt Motor Show in September have been denied by an Audi spokesperson. The anonymous Audi representative told Edmund’s Inside Line that the stories in Auto Motor und Sport in Germany and L’Automobile in France were “not true.”
Instead, Audi will stick to the liquid fuel path and show off the R8 Spyder with gas engines. While we certainly don’t fault Audi for sticking with what it knows, the possibility of a limited edition R8 EV challenging Tesla made for a good night’s dream, anyway.

- Limited-production, top-of-the-line version of the high performance sports car

- 100 pounds lighter, the carbon body parts

- V10 FSI with 412 kW (560 hp), 0-100 km / h in 3.6 seconds

Ingolstadt, now even stronger, lighter and faster: displays the version of the Audi R8's limited production high performance sports cars, GT R8. Output from the 5.2-liter V10 has been increased to 412 kW (560 hp), vehicle weight has been reduced by approximately 100 kilograms (£ 220.46). GT R8 accelerates from zero to 100 km / h (62.14 mph) in 3.6 seconds and reaches a top speed of 320 km / h (198.84 mph).

The R8 high-performance sports cars have a winner from scratch. This applies to both the production model, winner of the "World Performance Car" Award in 2008 (R8) and in 2010 (R8 V10), and racing cars, with the LMS R8, which won 23 races in his first season and claimed three championships. The genes from the version now comes to road races - the GT R8. Exclusive series limited to 333 units. Every GT R8 has a badge with a production number on the shift key lever.

With a compressor Eaton four-lobe of improving the intake pressure to a maximum of 11.6 psi situation, married to a 3.0-liter V-6 makes A6 3.0T Quattro 300 hp and 310 lb-ft pair. It is basically the same engine that the future 333-hp 2010 Audi S4 with power supply.

Mash the gas from a stop, and the 3.0T has a linear force propels the 4114-lb sedan to 60 mph in 5.5 seconds, 1.5 seconds earlier than the old 255-hp, 3.1-liter -A6 Quattro hit that mark. Certainly, the xDrive BMW 535i and Mercedes E550 4MATIC are faster, but requires the BMW twin-turbo, and the Benz has eight cylinders. More importantly, he can not have the 3.0T 's is equal to 18 mpg city and 26 on the highway. One big surprise is that this new Audi is the future in the current V-8-powered A6 4.2 quattro, despite the larger engine 50 hp advantage.

The front seats will not find anything. Virtually indistinguishable from the A5 coupe to the Audi booth hard-earned reputation for quality craftsmanship of the interior is no harm at all. The feeling of quality is clearly visible in the cargo compartment of the A5 Sportback, where materials and their adaptation are impressive. The capacity of 17 cubic meters is the same as an A4 sedan, but the volume of the tailgate is easier to use thanks to the limousine to the top. The two-room apartment in the rear seat backs, flat load space is at nearly 35 cubic meters will be extended. Inside, despite the slinky silhouette, there is a decent home. Audi Sportback makes the rear-seat legroom and headroom is slightly lower than the A4 sedan. There are certainly enough room for six adults meters high, because, as I found. But the back seat is far from perfect. Although only designed for two passengers (there is no seat belt) in the middle, to ensure the seats and center armrest mass, they sit well outboard of the axis of the vehicle. Therefore, the view is, especially from the front to the front seat headrest. Head movement is also due to the proximity of the rail can not be limited. It was easy to find every seat an inch or two on the inside, by fixing the two problems at once, and it is difficult to understand why not to do Audi interior.

For 2009, Audi has granted our wish and now offers a TT Quattro four-cylinder to $ 38,125, $ 2100 or more than the first version of the reader. With the exception of the TTS-265-hp, four-wheel drive TT 2.0T is the fastest way that we have tested so far. Acceleration up to 60 mph 5.7 seconds and the quarter mile in 14.4 seconds mph was recorded on 96th We were somewhat surprised by the speed of TT Quattro is like 250 pounds more than the front-driver and has the same power and transmission. We believe that the weight gain by the introduction of the S-Tronic control, engine speed lifts and tilts the automatic clutch and balanced. In the first pilot, is the result of a tough start for a moment before the wheels from spinning tires hook up and all-wheel-drive, the TT simply bolts on without drama. Other than the introduction of more order and the lack of wheelspin before the TT 2.0T Quattro is almost identical to the pre-driver. Even with the extra weight and friction of the Quattro system is the artful game of the TT car intact reflexes, as well as the brakes are incredibly powerful and tenacious grip Skidpad. We have a respectable 23 mpg fuel economy.

The Audi R8 conforms to the production-based GT3 regulations allowing the car to be fielded in numerous national and international race series.

Because the GT3 regulations prohibit the use of four-wheel drive the Audi R8 comes with the typical GT rear-wheel drive. The power is transmitted via a newly developed six-speed sequential sports gearbox. The suspension uses almost exclusively components from the production line. A comprehensive list of safety equipment guarantees the highest-level of passive safety. A modified front end and a large rear-wing generate the required downforce for the race track.

ABT AS3 Audi A3 also comes with the 1.4 TSI, brings a brisk 160HP (118kW) to the road instead of the series-standard 125HP (92kW). With the next largest unit, the 1.8 TSI 160HP (118kW) achieves an everyday 210HP (154kW). And the largest petrol engine, the 2.0 TSI, provides 240HP (177kW) with ABT as opposed to 200HP (147kW) in the basic version. In spite of the HP boost the fuel consumption does not increase and the reliability of the engines remains the same. ABT also offers performance increases for the two-liter turbo diesel: depending on the starting power output either 170HP (125kW) or 190HP (140kW) is achieved – and both bring plenty of torque with them

The ABT muffler is also part of the perfect appearance of the ABT Q5, and with its four tail pipes precisely indicates the sporting pedigree of the SUV. The use of BR alloys is also recommended, which look particularly good on the car in 22 inch form. The ABT Q5 looks impressive everywhere, be it at the golf course, by the opera or on the promenade
