4S MY21 performance Coupe 2dr S tronic 7sp quattro 5.2i The mid-engined R8 supercar is Audi's halo model. Available as a coupe or a Spyder convertible, the 5.2-litre V10-engined R8 comes in either "base" 397kW/540Nm rear-drive form, or as the performance quattro AWD, winding out 449kW and 560Nm and stopping the (coupe) clock from zero to 100km/h in 3.2sec. Supported by Audi's magnetic ride system (performance quattro), the R8 drives through a seven-speed S tronic dual-clutch transmission and is stopped by eight-piston front brakes with ventilated and perforated discs. The V10 performance quattro version uses carbon fibre reinforced ceramic brakes. Four suspension modes, and full suite of comfort items mix unrestrained performance with indulgent luxury.
ABS brakes automatically sense when a tire has stopped rotating under extreme braking, and will modulate the brake pressure to allow the tire to rotate.This increases the vehicles ability to turn while braking.
Stability control automatically senses when the vehicles handling limits have been exceeded and reduces engine power and/or applies select brakes to help prevent the driver from losing control of the vehicle.
Front-impact airbags for the driver and passenger have been designed to protect the head during a frontal crash.
Side impact airbags for the front seats have been designed to protect the torso during a side impact collision.
Overhead airbags are used to protect the occupant's heads in the event of a side collision or rollover.
Seatbelt pretensioners automatically tighten seatbelts to place the occupant in the optimal seating position during a collision.
Anti-whiplash head restraints actively react to rear collision forces and craddle the occupants head in an effort to reduce the likelihood of a whiplash injury.
The vehicle is equipped with a means of anticipating and/or detecting unwanted vehicle intrusion. The vehicle is equipped with an ignition disable device that will prevent the engine from starting if the correct original manufacturer key is not used.
