New 2009 Audi R8

Born and bred as a race car for the international Le Mans race, the Audi R8 is one the fastest, sleekest and most sought after cars on the market.  Its ability to go from 0 to 62 MPH in a mere 4.6 seconds makes riding in it feel as though you're hitting warp speed. 

Buckle you and your passenger into the luxury seats. The 4.2-liter V-8 engine creates a mind blowing 420-horsepower, and has a maximum speed of 185 mph.   All of this power is handled through the vehicle's six-speed manual transmission. The R8 competes with the Ferrari F430 and the Lamborghini Gallardo. 

Not only can the Audi R8 blow your mind with its ability for speed, but its body design is stunning.  Its side blade air intakes and rear spoiler add to the car's already aerodynamic body.  The body is adorned with Audi's signature trapezoidal grill and air intake grates.  A power-extendable rear spoiler, 19-inch alloy wheels and quad exhaust pipes add to the R8’s menacing look.

The high class price tag comes with all the bells and whistles expected in a luxury car.   A six-CD changer, Bluetooth phone interface and Homelink garage door opener come standard in every car.    The R8 comes in anywhere from $114,200 for the Audi RE Coupe trim to around $123,000 for the Coupe Quattro with Auto R tronic trim.  Choose from a Bang and Olufsen audio system or a review camera or both to fully deck out the car of your dreams.

While most daredevils don't need to worry about safety features in their sports cars, the 2008 Audi R8 is not only fast but responsible too.  Antilock brakes complete with traction control and an electronic stability system keep this speed machine firmly on the road.  Seat mounted side-impact and knee airbags keep the passengers in their seats in case of an accident.

Looking for a mind blowing experience with a world class race car that is still stylish enough for any black tie affair?  The 2009 Audi R8 is a contender on the track and in town.  Whether you're impressing world racers on the Autobahn or just your next door neighbors, the R8 is a car to see—and be seen in.
