Aug 21, 2020 5:55:18 PM / by Audi Midtown

With real racing heritage — it shares 50% of its parts with the R8 GT3 LMS race car — the Audi R8 Coupé is born on the track and built for the road.

Every R8 is hand-measured and assembled in Neckarsulum, Germany by a small team of 241 specialists, with robots coming into play only when absolutely necessary.

When you’re behind the wheel of an Audi R8, don’t expect to blend into the crowd — it’s one of the most recognizable vehicles in the world with unique design elements and its iconic side blade.

The cabin of the Audi R8 features a “Monoposto” or single seat cabin design, echoing design elements of classic race cars, and can be fitted with a variety of leathers, stitching, inlays, and finishes..

The technology you’ll find in the cabin, however, is anything but retro. 

The Audi virtual cockpit is a fully digital interface that you can customize with navigation and audio information.  Engaging sport mode brings you right to the track, displaying a tachometer and performance statistics, including lap time, horsepower, torque, G-meter, tire pressure and temperature.
