  • The New Audi R8
    The new Audi R8 The R8 is the dynamic spearhead of Audi. In its second generation, the high- performance sports car has been newly developed from the ground up – it is more taut, more striking and more fascinating. The high-revving V10 engine is available in two performance variants. In the top-of-the-range version with 610 hp, it develops breathtaking power. “Motorsport is in Audi’s DNA, it is part of our brand’s character,” says Prof. Dr. Ulrich Hackenberg, Board Member for Technical Development at Audi. “With the new R8, our engineers are bringing accumulated racing expertise from the race track onto the road. No other model of ours evokes more dynamic emotion, none is closer to a race car. The new R8 V10 plus is the most powerful and fastest series production Audi of all time.” The mid-engine principle used for the Audi R8 is not only a classic concept in motorsport but also an important piece of Audi tradition. The powerful engines were located in front of the rear axle even in the Grand Prix race cars brought to the start line by Auto Union in the 1930s – a revolutionary step at the time. In 2000, Audi won the 24-hour Le Mans endurance race with the LMP R8 prototype for the first time. By 2005, the car which provided the name for today’s series-production high- performance sports car had secured five overall victories at the Sarthe – the name chosen for the road version of the super sports car from Audi, R8, indicates the technological relationship between the two winners.

With third place overall in Phoenix Racing's Audi LMS R8 Marc Bronzel (Siek), Luca Ludwig (Roisdorf), Dennis Rostek (Porta Westfalica) and Markus Winkelhock (Berglen) presented the team with an unexpected surprise since this quartet did not even number among the favorites before the race started. The conservative and mechanically easy going driving style of the Phoenix squad, however, paid dividends: The Audi R8 LMS with start number 97 ran – apart from a small electronical problem during the opening stages – with the smallest technical problem. Of particular note was the performance of DTM driver Markus Winkelhock, who, after only landing a drive in the Phoenix team at the last moment, drove constantly fast lap times without any experience of the Nordschleife and in the closing stages convincingly defended the class lead.

This intrinsic Audi Sport philosophy rings particularly true in the case of the new R8, which is set to take to the road in early 2019 featuring a raft of changes, but also two important constants – retention of the much loved naturally aspirated V10 petrol engine, and suffusion with a sizeable dose of racing DNA achieved by sharing 50 per cent of components with the R8 LMS GT3 competition car revealed recently at the Paris Motor Show. Highlights of the latest R8 range include more power, torque and performance, including a first foray beyond the 200mph mark for several versions, and even greater handling precision thanks to suspension and steering revisions. The power of the naturally aspirated V10 engine at the heart of the R8 is now uprated to 570PS in the 'standard' R8 Coupé and Spyder V10 quattro.

  • First Test of the Audi R8 Against Opposition Roll Outs at Nürburgring
    27 April 1999 First test of the Audi R8 against opposition Next Sunday’s pre-qualifying for the Le Mans 24 Hours is the first major test for the Audi R8 against major opposition. Six weeks before the race, Audi Sport aims to qualify the four car line-up for the traditional race at La Sarthe in June. „The pre-qualifying is the first opportunity to test the car on the Le Mans track“, explains Audi‘s Head of Sport Dr Wolfgang Ullrich. „This is extremely meaningful for us since we are newcomers.“ Roll outs at Nürburgring and Silverstone Each car has a time limit of just six hours to pre-qualify on Sunday hence the preparations are meticulous. Dr Ullrich: „The cars have been stripped down and re-built completely after the recent tests.“ In order to be prepared perfectly, both teams will do a roll out to check every part before they go to Le Mans. Audi Sport Team Joest will shake down the two open- topped R8Rs at the Nürburgring while Audi Sport UK will test the enclosed R8C at Silverstone. Line-ups will be defined on Saturday night The teams will qualify on Sunday in two separate groups. Only after the final scrutineering on Saturday night will organisers define which cars will start on Sunday morning or Sunday afternoon. Both Audi Teams will attempt to pre-qualify on the 2 May. „Our goal is to get familiar with the track in the best possible way“, explains Dr Ullrich. During pre-qualifying, 10 of the 12 Audi drivers will be present.

Title successes in Australia, Germany, Central Europe and Thailand round out the tally of the young race car to date. These successes, which Audi Sport customer racing scored against fiercest competition of up to twelve brands, validate the direction in which the development was headed. “We systematically developed the evolution so that customers would be able to make even better use of the race car,” says Chris Reinke, Head of Audi Sport customer racing. “Especially the current aero pack enables greater handling consistency in diverse fielding areas.” The successes claimed by amateur drivers in particular show that Audi Sport achieved its objectives.
