Audi announced the launch of the all-new Audi R8 5.2 FSI for India. The R8 will be powered by a V10 quattro engine and built using the lightweight Audi Space Frame (ASF) design. The R8 takes 3.9 seconds for the 0-100 kph dash and tops out at 316 kph. The Audi R8 5.2 FSI will be priced at Rs. 1,32,49,000 (ex-showroom Maharashtra).
“The Audi R8 V10 exemplifies our belief in developing and delivering world class automobiles to sports car enthusiasts in India. Embodying our philosophy of “Vorsprung durch Technik,” every Audi R8 5.2 FSI is hand-built and demonstrates paramount engineering excellence that is skillfully blended with distinct design cues which will enable us to establish new benchmarks in the performance sports car segment” said Michael Perschke, Head, Audi India.
Audi’s sports car will entice all those Audi fans who wanted an even faster car in India. The Audi R8 5.2 FSI will certainly cater to a niche crowd but this performance car also makes for a good city drive. So, sure we wished we owned one and we wished we drove one, yet the price tag keeps certain people away from this monster on the streets.
