My friends, it’s time to say goodbye to the entry-level Audi R8. On Thursday, the German logo announced that the R8 V10 Quattro would leave us, however, before its departure, the company will build 30 cars in special edition to show your appreciation.
The special R8 doesn’t have to go with it, just a ‘limited edition’. And that’s limited. The 30 cars will feature Audi aluminum optical moldings in the looking mirrors and will decrease external carbon fiber moldings, engine compartment and appearance blades. Audi plans to build 1 five in blue, five in silver and five in green. Five other R8 V10 Quattro Spyder models make up the 30 cars, and will be blue. Each external color also receives another internal color palette. For the most sensible treatment, 20-inch strawberry wheels have a silver end, the first time Audi has tires with such an end in the United States.
There is also a touch of mechanical love on the R8 V10 Quattro. Each car receives a carbon fiber front anti-roll bar, which is reserved for the R8 V10 Performance. He shaves 4.4 pounds from the supercar. The Performance model’s game escape formula is also popular for magnifying the roar of the engine.

And, of course, the 5.2-liter V10 turbocharger features 562 horsepower and 406 pound-feet of torque. Power requires a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission on all 4 wheels, hence the so-called Quattro.
While the R8 V10 Quattro will die, the V10 Performance style discussed will remain. It makes even more force with the same engine: 610 hp. We may also see Audi bring the R8 RWD to the U.S. Last year, he revealed a back-wheel drive style for Europe, but never consolidated plans for the United States. Perhaps with the departure of the Quattro, the door opens to the purest supercar to come. Limited edition car prices start at $186,000 for the coupe and $195,900 for the Spyder before the destination fare.
