Audi R8
For 2020, Audi presents a redesigned, more powerful and more nimble R8. This German supercar retains Coupe and Spyder (convertible) body styles while sharing about half of its components with the R8 LMS GT3/GT4 race cars. The naturally aspirated, 5.2-litre V10 engine now produces 562 horsepower in standard trim or 611 horsepower in Performance trim. The suspension and steering are improved, while the interior boasts an advanced digital interface and three additional drive modes.
