Audi R8 V10 Plus Unveiled With Enormous Power
Though relatively smaller, the R8 and R8 Plus versions aren’t pushover as they are beefed up with huge power and superb features. If we compare it with the new base model of Audi R8, it reaches 100 kph in 3.5 seconds and has a top speed of 323 kph and is capable to deliver an output of 540 horsepower.
The Audi company which was established in 1899 by August Horch and recognizable by its four ring insignia is giving the racing fans and aficionados the chance to test-drive its new-fangled R8 model turbocharged engine vehicle without any charge under the initiative of its “Supercars on Demand” program on Wednesday.
Reported by a last-week disclosure by Ulrich Hackenberg – Audi’s board member for development – and quattro chief Heinz Peter Hollerweger, turbocharged engine power appears inevitable for Audi’s new R8 fastest sports car during its current life cycle.
The automaker’s latest supercar boasts of an enormous power in a compact package that can beat any supercar in a single sprint.
Already automakers such as Mercedes-AMG, Porsche and Nissan offer turbocharged versions of their cars with more twist than the 413 pound-feet offered in the R8’s V10. The R8 can create massive torque when the pedal braces with the metal thanks to its turbo engine.
Yes, we whiffed on our piece on the 2017 Audi R8 – the V10 Plus is NOT a turbo engine, despite its muscular 610-horsepower capabilities. The Plus gives around 610 horses, and can go up to 60mph in just 3.2 seconds.
A top speed of 200 miles per hour can be achieved with both the models of Audi.
Instead of replacing the 5.2-liter V10s found in the 2017 R8 standard and Plus models, the boosted V6 from the upcoming RS4 (or maybe a turbo five cylinder?) would slot below the naturally aspirated models.
