<< Prev Page 2 of 2  The most distinctive element on the front of the R8 Spyder V10 plus is the wide and flat Singleframe grille with its shimmering honeycomb mesh, chrome-plated frame and the Audi Sport emblem. Below it stretches a low-lying carbon spoiler, which directs air around the large wheels. Optional Audi LED headlights with laser light provide farsighted vision at night. These feature distinctive illuminated, anodized blue dividers as well as the dynamic turn signals.The sideblades, sill trims, lid on the convertible top compartment and the fixed rear spoilers are constructed from carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP). These as well as the classic soft top are the distinguishing features of the convertible top model. Two fins running to the rear tighten the top. An electrohydraulic drive takes 20 seconds to open or close the 44 kilogram (97.0 lb) top, even while driving at speeds up to 50 km/h (31.1 mph). Standard-equipment seat belt microphones improve voice quality. With two head restraint loudspeakers in each seat, the Bang & Olufsen sound system provides an excellent audio experience - even when the top is down. In the rear, large, glossy black trapezoidal exhaust tailpipes flank the opening of the wide diffuser, another component made from CFRP. Its suction literally holds the Audi R8 Spyder V10 plus (combined fuel consumption in l/100 km: 12.5 l/100 km [18.8 US mpg]; combined CO2 emissions in g/km: 292 [469.9 g/mi]) on the road - with about 100 kilograms (220.5 lb) of downforce being placed on the rear axle at top speeds. The multimaterial Audi Space Frame forms the strong backbone of the R8 Spyder V10 plus. It combines aluminum components with components made of structurally integrated carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP). This is decisive for the low weight of the open-top high-performance sports car. Empty and without a driver, it weighs only 1,695 kg (3,736.8 lb); dry weight is just 1,587 kg (3,498.7 lb) - another 25 kg (55.1 lb) less than the Audi R8 Spyder V10 (combined fuel consumption in l/100 km: 11.7 [20.1 mpg]; combined CO2 emissions in g/km: 277 [445.8 g/mi]). The lower weight is achieved, for one, with the R8 bucket seats, as well as with the carbon-ceramic brake system and the light-alloy forged wheels. The optional micrommata green design package lends the convertible high-performance sports car the ultimate edge. Its body is painted in a distinctive green. The anthracite gray Singleframe grille and black tailpipe covers create a sharp contrast. Audi exclusive furnishes the interior completely in black, in fine Nappa leather, which is perforated on control elements. Green contrast stitching accents the seats, center armrests, doors and floor mats with luminous color that matches the exterior. In addition, the Audi exclusive program offers a wealth of additional options for personalizing your car. The product range includes freely selectable colors and matt-effect paint finishes, numerous decorative inlays and upholstery options. Both the side blades and door sill trims can be personalized with insignia. In addition, parts in carbon or titanium black are available for many areas of the exterior and interior. R8 bucket seats come standard in the convertible top model. They are light, highly contoured, mounted low and bear the R8 embossing. They are upholstered in fine Nappa leather with special pigmenting that stops them from heating up in the sun's rays. Decorative inlays are made from carbon; the pedals and footrest are in glossy stainless steel. The defining element is the "monoposto", a large arc running around the cockpit. The dashboard appears to float weightlessly. Its lower section contains buttons and controls for the air conditioning, shaped like turbines. As in a racing car, drivers can operate all important functions without having to take their hands off the steering wheel. The standard R8 performance leather steering wheel features integrated multifunction buttons as well as two large control satellites. The driver uses these to start and stop the engine and control Audi drive select. Two more buttons including a rotary wheel are used to control the performance mode and the exhaust flaps. The large 12.3-inch, fully digital Audi virtual cockpit presents all information using rich 3D graphics - if desired, in a special performance view that puts the focus on the rev counter. It also serves as a gear shift indicator - when the seven-speed S tronic is being operated in manual mode, its scale has a color background at higher engine speeds. Next to it are indicators showing output, torque, g-forces, lap times and the temperatures of the tires, engine and transmission oil. << Prev Page 2 of 2 |
