Audi R8 Coupe V10 Plus
Selection 24h
Audi pays tribute to the R8
LMS that won last year's 24 Hours Nurburgring with a new special edition of its
flagship supercar.
The R8 "Selection
24h", is based on the range-topper V10 Plus and will be built in a limited
production run of 24.
The technical package
comprises of dynamic steering, adaptive damper control, magnetic ride and laser
lighting. Setting it apart further more is the tricolor paint finish, with
Suzuka gray as the basic color and Mythos black and Misano red highlights,
evoking the R8 LMS.
It also sports gloss carbon
fiber-made front spoiler, rear wing, diffuser and side mirror caps, while the
sideblades have the matt-finish "R8 24h" logo. The tailpipes are
finished in black and the car sits on 20-inch forged aluminum wheels, with a
10-spoke Y pattern.
Inside, it has full-leather
upholstery and trim in rotor gray color, Alcantara headlining, gloss-finish carbon
fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) air vents and extended inlays for the
surrounding of the Audi Virtual Cockpit, along with the "R8 24h"
logo, illuminated door sill trims and a serial number from 1 to 24 for each of
the limited-edition R8s.
There are no changes at the
oily bits, which means customers get the same 610 PS, 5.2-liter V10
that's good for a 3.2-second 0 to 100 km/h sprint and a 330 km/h top speed.
Audi will debut the R8
Selection 24h in the paddock at the 24 Hours Nurburgring. Orders can be placed
starting today (May 10, 2016), for a starting price of € 229,000 (US$ 261,000) in
Germany.
